Restaurants near For Goodness Sake Marketplace and Cafe

The restaurant was very busy on Christmas Eve so it was noisy. However, that did not at all take away from our dining experience. Our server, Alana, was fantastic; always checking on us to make sure everything was as expected and we had everything we needed. We started with crab cake appetizers that were the best I have ever had. They are all crab meat, no filler!! My husband had the short rib ragu with tortellini that he loved. I had the salmon dish with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and asparagus. everything was outstanding. We both took half home so we could have room for dessert. In the past I have not like tiramisu but I had it in Italy and loved it so decided to try it tonight. It did NOT disappoint! Just the right blend of flavors and texture for me. We have dined here several times in the past and have never been disappointed.

We selected Petar’s based on reviews for a special dinner. It was an exceptional dinner from beginning to end. We felt welcomed from the minute we arrived. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The food was very good and the portions were adequate. Because of the dessert options, we broke down and had to try some. Again everyone was extremely pleased. I’m not sure how we’ve missed this restaurant the past few years but it will definitely be on our favorite list from now on.

Originally we were sat in the bar ,but it was noisy and asked to move to the dining room which they did happily. We were greeted quickly with water and made to feel comfortable. We each ordered drinks that came quickly and were good and strong. No weaklings here. The room was quiet and well appointed. We each had an appetizer and entree. Presentation was beautiful. (Lobster Bisque and escargot) Entree were Branzino fish and the Shell combo. The fish was perfectly done. Nothing worse than over cooked fish. It was soft and flakey and the sauce divine. The shell fish was plentiful. No skimpy portions here. We shared most of our meals with each other. The scallop was as big as my hand. Highly recommend this dining establishment. !!!

Sat near the kitchen. Felt like I was watching The Bear! The kitchen staff was amazing. Organized, efficient, team focused and great attitudes. Kudos to the team. Our waitress was awesome, too! Pleasant, knowledgeable, witty and helpful. Even took photos for us for my husbands bday. And she was busy too! Dinner was awesome we all loved our apps and meals! Always great at the Hawk!

Met a friend for early dining menu. Happy Hour is fantastic pricing! $5 house wine, early dining menu, with very nice selection and portions. The service and ambiance were outstanding. I had the Zuppa (Pasta e Fagioli) and sampled my friend's eggplant rollatini; both were excellent! I had the shrimp basil entree selection, and although it was very good, it was slightly salty. Truly a 4.5 as the experience more than earned my return! I could have been satisfied with the superb service and the herb butter and fresh bread alone, along with my wine! LOL, A Must Go! Very nice desert menu but heavy on the lemon. There also was a wonderful guitar player playing soft music, not over done, perfect for the atmosphere!
