    Martini's was our favorite Cameron's restaurant a number of years ago, and then everything become "average" so we moved on! Recently, it has regained our #1 spot again! For NYE, always uncertain for quality given the crowds, Martini's did not disappoint! The parmesan Focaccia was excellent; the veal meatball excellent (the sauce a bit tart for my taste but I understand most people like it that way (my Sicilian mother made a slightly sweeter sauce for her veal/port/beef meatballs that was heaven on earth!). The evening's special was the wonderful Seabass! Just a tad overcooked, and really lean on the lobster; the Ocean Clubs Chilean Sea Bass never disappointed! The Caesar salad excellent (but a bit overdressed; our fault since we failed to request light dressing); creme brulee excellent as was the blood orange sorbet (better served separately than on the dessert! Our server Linda was a super delight; we request her always! In spite of my "criticisms" (made lovingly!), it was a wonderful NYE dinner! Bravo!!

    What a wonder Experience, Eric was a fabulous server and took care of us all night with insightful answers to our questions. Between the 4 of us we all got something different and we all loved our dishes. Scallops were cooked perfectly and he sauce on the scallops was super. Filet was a great Filet, and the special Sea bass turned out great as well as the salmon. The truffle garlic bread was so good I almost ordered a second one. Again Eric our Server was wonderful and I want to thank him for all he did.

    All five of us enjoyed every moment and course of our meals. Food and service were outstanding! From cocktails to bread service to salads to entrees to dessert, our entire family enjoyed each dish. 6pm in the back room was a wonderful time to arrive as it was quiet and relaxing and we could all chat easily. By the time we left the back room had only become moderate noise level so it really worked out perfectly. Each dish was really special - my favorites tonight were the truffled garlic bread, the tre colore salad (so light and fresh and wonderful flavor balance), and the mushroom cavatelli, though I know for certain the rest of the family raved about the ribeye, the butternut squash tortelloni, the beet salad, and each of the four different desserts we tried. Suffice to say do leave room for dessert as each was a perfect end to the evening and we were unable to choose a favorite as each was so delicious. Two can easily share a dessert as they were larger than expected. Thank you to the staff and chefs for such a lovely evening.

    I took a group of 4 friends who had never been to this restaurant. Prior to my wife’s passing this one of her favorite places to go. I was not disappointed. The service and food was impeccable. I have 4 new converts to your establishment and look forward to sharing many more good experiences here.

    It’s been a while since we have dined here but we won’t take that long to return. The food was fantastic and the refreshed decor was well done.
