My boyfriend and I went here for my “gotcha day”celebration and had a fantastic experience. I got the lobster roll which as someone who loves seafood and has tried lobster in every way there is I was very impressed by. The old bay was something I haven’t had on a lobster roll and it was so good. My boyfriend got the Ribeye which I tried and while it not my first choice of cut for steak, It was probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever tried. If you’re going to get a side, the truffle fries are excellent and 100% worth it.

We had dinner here for my birthday and our waitress was very great and helpful. It’s an extremely mellow vibe here during dinner which I really enjoyed. The appetizers and entrees were delicious and were good portions. I’m looking forward to experiencing the outdoor atmosphere in the warmer months!

About the restaurant
Some of the most memorable meals happen when good friends come together to share delicious, freshly prepared food in a setting filled with warmth and fun. That’s the kind of experience that inspires every dish on our menu at Spaghetti Warehouse. No wonder our Guests keep coming back for so many Spaghetti Warehouse specialties, from Our Incredible 15-Layer Lasagna to Spaghetti & Meatballs, Beer Chili to Fettuccini Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana to Spicy Shrimp Al Fresco Pasta. And with every entrée, we also serve hot sourdough bread accompanied by our crave-able garlic butter, plus your choice of our Garden salad or savory soup.

Pre theatre dinner. The grilled salmon and veggies were tasty and healthy. My dining companion had the lasagna and chicken parm combo, and he loved it. Only bad thing was that the previous diners unscrewed the top to the parmesan cheese, and when we went to use it, it went all over the meal. Luckily, he likes cheese, but it would have been over the top if he didn't like the cheese. The server was gracious and offered to bring new food, but he accepted the cheese without issue. Maybe just have the servers/bus boys check the cheese shakers after every table leaves.
