We have always loved Iavaronne’s; however last night, perhaps the staffing was low. The hostess and our waiter were both very courteous. Unfortunately, there were delays throughout, both in getting our cocktails as well as dinner. As we were having a good time catching up with our guests, the delayed food wouldn’t have been a big deal, except that after having been told 2-3 x that our entrees were almost ready, when it finally did come, while the flavors were fantastic, 3 out of 4 of the dishes were lukewarm. Considering that the meal was over $330, it was a disappointment. That said, we will continue to return to Iavaronne’s because we do love their food and ambience; we will chalk it up to an unexpected staff shortage.

Great service, great drinks. Beautiful presentation. Colton is an excellent server. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, informative and precise. He was on top of everything from opening drinks through dessert. There were 5 of us ladies and he made sure we were all happy. We will be back and will ask for Colton.

First time actually sitting down for dinner here, we’ve been to a cocktail party upstairs in the past. The service was kinda poor IMO. Was never offered water at all the whole time. There were two servers covering our table, not once did either of them check on us or ask how our food was which took forever by the way. They basically brought the plates of what we ordered and walked away. The food itself was less than mediocre to say the least. FO soup had no flavor and barely any cheese which should be the highlight. Salad was just fine. I had the short rib ragu which was one of their specials for the evening. The meat looked like it had been sitting out for hours and could have used some seasoning. The pasta was absolutely terrible. No flavor whatsoever, sauce was so thin you could barely tell it was there. A microwave meal from the frozen food section would have been better. Wife had the grouper dinner and that was nothing to write home about either. No flavor yet again and Presentation was abysmal. Since we pretty much had no service we did not get dessert or after dinner drinks. Complete waste of money and kinda ruined our evening. We will 100% not be coming back.

Upstairs ambience could be better. If you’re serving large ice molds at bar they should also be available upstairs (or have the sever ask to confirm)

The service was excellent! Most of the food was good. The Pan Seared Grouper Piccata didn't have much favor.
