    We loved all the food and the mocktail but the decor and speed are what really made it nice for us. Starting with Calamari helped set expectations high without disappointment. This was an excellent choice of venue for Valentine’s Day

    The first hour and half everything went very smoothly. Apps came out in time and then by the time we ordered our entrees that is when we waited an hour until we got them. Then we mentioned something to the waiter and he said it will be moment and then another 20 minutes went by and we mentioned to someone else and then the food came out. Then the food was cold once we got it. Then our dessert was the macadamia nut cookie and it was weirdly burnt. The first half went well but then the next half did not go as planned. The waiter was nice but unfortunately the night was not. Also, there was no manager walking around asking us how we were doing which was weird at a higher end restaurant like this.

    Below average service. Over 30 minutes wait time for drinks and when asked about when drinks would arrive we were told “it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s busy”. Regretted coming here. Would not come back again and would not recommend.

    Was there for Valentines Day. Host and wait staff on point. Apps came out in no time. Dinner took over an hour after ordering. We could see the kitchen with dozens of slips coming out of the printer, they were so overwhelmed. Sides came out cold so they were plated well before the Steak and Salmon which were both hot but Salmon served upside down, skin side up, weird. Limited wine selection by the glass and bottles astronomically priced. Not sure if I'll be back for dinner, maybe just the bar for drinks and snacks. Absolutely beautiful inside.

    Food and service was amazing. We were surprised there were no specials for the evening. We were not happy with the table. We were sat at a table for 2 (understandably) but there is NO room on the table. We ordered an appetizer and there was no place to put it since there was already a bread basket, plate with olive oil, and drinks on our table. We were also right between two other tables for 2 with people there, so their conversations were loud and clear and a little awkward at times.

    We all agreed that the food was lacking flavor and over priced. We loved the food at the old Tuscan Kitchen and are happy to pay top dollar for good food but the food lacked flavor so we left some what disappointed. Also it was very loud and hard to have a conversation. Our waitress was awesome and the ambiance was beautiful.
