Meat • Beer • Italian • Chicken

"I recently had the best meal at this restaurant! I tried the shrimp stuffed with crab served with risotto, and it was amazing. I will definitely be coming back for this dish - it's the best I've ever had! To start, I had the fresh, chilled lump crab meat, which was superb. Although they don't have a drink list or specialty drinks, they do have a full bar. However, the food is definitely the star here. The meal was for dinner and the price per person was $50–100. The food, service, and atmosphere all scored a perfect 5. There is plenty of parking available, with options for free parking in the lot."

Sambuca Restaurant

➤ 601 12th Ave. South Nashville, TN 37203, 37203-4012, United States

Steak • Cheese • American • Ice Cream

"Waited 25 minutes after being seated before anyone even noticed. Tried making eye contact to no avail. Had to talk with the hostess to get a waiter. Appetizer came out promptly. It was the house smokes salmon and it was exceptional delicious. Good mix of smoke and salt. Unfortunately one of the main course was incorrect when brought out so we waited again for the rest of the meal. My husband had the ribeye which was good. I eventually got the salmon oscar which was perfectly prepared. It did not have the Brussels sprouts that I see in other pictures. The live band was very entertaining. The sound level of the band was perfect. Maybe the poor service was just a fluke but at those prices I would have expected better."

Romeo's

➤ 72 Lincoln St, Exeter, United States

Pizza • Steak • Italian • American

"If I could give them 10 out of 5 stars, or 200%, I absolutely would! I had been enjoying their pizza for about three months, but I only discovered Romeo's Greek Chicken Kebab Salad two days before I had to move away. I genuinely regret every order that wasn't the salad. The feta and olives are my favorites—as in any good Greek salad—but the addition of two banana peppers provided a nice kick, along with the crunchy purple julienned onions. The salad was unbelievably good, and the pita was simply unmatched. Other mom-and-pop restaurants I used to frequent served dry, stale, and lackluster pita bread, but their bread surpasses naan in my opinion. While the pita bread’s flavor is mild, the juiciness of the well-marinated chicken on top of a fluffy, moist pita—similar to pizza dough but truly a proper pita—is just incredible. Thank you, Romeo's, for all the delicious food you provide to everyone who visits. God bless you, Sir!"

Tramonto Restaurant

➤ 27 Saw Mill River Rd Hawthorne, NY 10532, 10532-1518, United States

Meat • Beer • Italian • Chicken

"Service wasn’t good. We weren’t gien menus when seated, but other tables seated after us were given menus. We didn’t know who our waiter was as if we were never acknowledged. It took forever to just order drinks. The portions were small and not of good quality. It was as if it was prepared and tasted as if it came out of a cafeteria. Even the ice cream dessert was unappetizing. Our experience was not good whatsoever, and we will not be dining at this restaurant again."

Supper

➤ 156 E. 2nd St., New York 10003, 10009-8403, United States

Full • Casual • Italian • Desserts

"Definitely GO TO SUPPER! The staff really was top notch as they made sure we had the best experience possible. We were looking for late night dinner options in Manhattan and this one did not disappoint! The food was soooo delicious and the service was so kind and accommodating. They made sure we stayed warm. They moved us to a better table. And even though we were seated next to a large, loud engagement party, they made sure we were comfortable and even gave us breaks on drinks and dessert. They were also kind enough to let us pay with a credit card (this restaurant normally is cash only), so I really can't say enough nice things. We stayed until after 1 a.m., and they didn't even rush us out. At the end of the night, we were so happy with everything we took photos with the staff! Kudos to Supper for such a great restaurant experience! We will definitely be back!"

Café Sparrow

Cafés • French • American • Californian

"For 20 years orf so, wife I have been sharing a Rack of Lamb dinner order and paying an extra $10 or so to have it split in the kitchen, so it came on two separate plates. The $10 charge covered the cost of extra vege potato sides. With an appetizer and dessert our total bill typically came to $130 to $140. The last time we were there, we were advised that they will no longer split our order in the kitchen. Obviously, they no longer value our business."

Vinci

➤ 1732 N. Halsted Chicago, IL 60614, 60614-5021, United States

Italian • Ice Cream • Vegetarian • Gluten Free

"This is one of those places that I always wonder why I do not go to more. It features what it calls rustic Italian . So you won 't find usual Italian American staples here but variations on some classic Italian dishes. My kids like it because they have pizza, but that is not what they are known for (though the pizza is very good). I tend to stick to some of the pasta dishes they serve . We were last here for Mothers ' Day. They had a special menu, so there was a buffet, with an entrée you could choose. They also have a very good cocktail and wine list. They also feature wine dinners that pair wines with regional Italian specialties. Vinci is convenient to Steppenwolf Theater, so head there before a performance."

Gg's Waterfront

➤ 606 N. Ocean DriveFL 33019, Hollywood, United States

Grill • Drinks • Brunch • Seafood

"The food at this restaurant was excellent, but the waiter was quite disappointing. His service was lacking, and I really don’t appreciate being approached inappropriately while trying to enjoy my meal. It’s frustrating when you have to deal with uncomfortable situations alongside poor service after politely declining advances. Overall, it’s a nice place with good food, but I hope the management can improve their staff selection. Just so you know, I am a Director of Service in a hotel chain, so I have some experience in this area. If one of my team members behaved like that, they would have been let go immediately!"

Cirino's at Main Street

➤ 213 West Main Street Grass Valley, CA 95945, United States

Bars • Italian • American • Fast Food

"We were recommended to dine in Cirino’s after our car club drive to Reno was halted by the snow storm. Cirino’s accommodated our party of 20 with no reservations, and created an amazing dining experience for all of us. Our waitress was correct when she told us everything on the menu was good. Even with our party size, food and drinks came out quickly and refills were ordered and served before us asking. Food was delicious! Love it when a restaurant serves warm bread, and the sourdough bread basket was an amazing start to a delicious meal. Lobster dip with pita chips was amazing and great to share. The dip was warm and creamy and melts in your mouth. I was torn between ordering clam chowder and French onion soup, and I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. Shrimp risotto was cooked to al dente, but I preferred mine to be more creamy than crunchy. Rib eye was served with mashed potatoes and on a bed of grilled vegetables. 7 layer chocolate cake was very rich and dense if that’s your preference."

Tuscan Kitchen

➤ 9 Via Toscana, Salem, United States Of America

Full • Wine • Kitchen • Bar-lounge

"I couldn't wait to take my daughter here to celebrate her college decision. this place for the pasta in the keserad that shows on their website first. it turns out that ..that's just a Tuesday thing and due to the employees of our waitress explains that they don't even do it tableside more. ok. well, that's ****. but we are here and in a vow that houses 2 big birthday parties, so let us make the best of it. mozzarella sticks were great! but really? $15 for 3?! brot was delicious. received that after the Mozzarella sticks came. I asked for pasta with Pomodora sauce. it was .. meh .. daughter got the cheese ravioli they enjoyed. also the salted caramel crème brûlée, which was in order. more than anything that it was loud, we felt as if we were in the way of the server that try to have two big tables, so it's unpleasant. another party of two came in and when they tried to sit in like sardines next to us, they said it was too loud and firm and they went before they even sit. I wish we had to have a better dinner somewhere else for what I spent! will not go back."

White Oak Tavern & Inn

➤ 1200 West Webster Ave. Chicago, IL 60614, 60614-3109, United States

Soup • Pasta • Coffee • American

"I am fond of White Oak, which is a nice, local eatery. The food is always flavorsome. But you never quite no what you are going to get. Iâve eaten there four times now, and often items are off, even regular, much-loved staples. One time the Spag Bol was not available as the chef had decided he had not put enough meat in the sauce, etc. And this last time, for which this review is for, was a regular Friday lunchtime, when I wanted a quick bite to eat. My wife and I were given the brunch menu! I assumed it was a mistake, but was told that was what the owner had wanted to do that day! Well, great, but I wasnât in the mood for egg-based brunches at on a working day, and I would not have gone if I had known that was what would be on offer. I had the chilaquiles and they were tasty enough... but it was not what I had gone for or wanted. So I like White Oak, but, as I say, you just never quite know....!"

Zax

➤ 312 Barton Springs Rd Austin, TX 78704, United States

Pizza • Chicken • American • Breakfast-brunch

"I have eaten here several times over the years and the food has always been consistently good and reasonably priced. We were there for dinner on a Saturday night recently and the experience was not as I remembered. The restaurant was probably less than half full. The server was attentive, but the quality of the food seems to not be what it used to....most dishes were mediocre at best. I had the turkey burger, which was pretty good but I did have to ask for a new bun as the one that was originally served with my burger was hard as a rock on the edges. The second bun was soft. Two of my friends had a salad with grilled chicken...the chicken on both their salads was rubbery. When we told our server about this, he didn’t really apologize nor did he offer to bring something else instead, etc. Our calamari appetizer was pretty good. And our other friend had a burger that was good. The fries that came with the burgers were just ok...definitely nothing to write home about. There seemed to be some missteps when it came to food quality and the experience did not live up to past expectations."

Trellis Restaurant

"My friends and I recently discovered Trellis thanks to our good friend John. As soon as we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The menu offers a wide range of delicious options, and it's clear that all the staff truly enjoy their work."

"From Grub Hug on line menu Classic Cubano Sandwich, $9.50 Roasted pork, smoked ham, pickles, Dijon mustard and Swiss cheese on a grilled roll. Served with choice of 1 side dish. I added the above to show how much things have changed. But this add was pulled from Grub Hub today 7/4/2023. First time here in Years! I was early for a performance the Marsh and had time to kill and was hungry. When I arrived 3:15 if took me a minute to get anyone 's attention. No one was in the restaurant and 5 staff were all sitting in a booth and the music was really loud. I finally got my server Carlo 's attention. At first, it appeared he couldn 't be bothered. Thankfully he warmed off after a bit. I had the Cubano sandwich $18.00 (far cry from the Grub Hub price) and sadly not really worth it. Pretty tasteless. Bread not toasted, it was on a sliced french roll, ham was sandwich meat , 1 slice of Swiss cheese and not fresh pickles. Said it came with french fries, well they were breakfast potatoes. Plentiful in size, though. I also ordered a coke which the Menu said was a Mexican Coke. I won 't be suckered into that again ! Scuse me $5.00 and the photo will show it wasn 't a Mexican coke but a regular Cocoa Cola from Cocoa Cola in a glass bottle. Had the manager been there I would have requested a refund for false advertising. What I thought would be a cheap lunch was $25. Maybe the manager will reach out to rectify the overcharge for the Non Mexican coke. Pretty pathetic to make a buck....."

"Best dining experience I have had in a very, very long time. Our server Joe made our experience so memorable and relaxing. Great recommendations. The music playing was absolutely perfect. We really loved watching Joe interact with other tables. He was so genuine. We will undoubtedly be back again and hope to get him as our server again. His assistant Miguel was absolutely fantastic as well. They both worked so great together. Amazing teamwork. The food was indescribable. Absolutely phenomenal and brilliantly executed. The presentation was gorgeous. The chef and kitchen staff definitely deserve a lot of credit for the care they obviously take in making the dishes. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!"

Italian • American • Fast Food • Farm-to-table

"Amazing food that covers other sins. First, I want to say that everyone leaves laughing and happy. It is one of the first things that I noticed when I arrived. We sat near the door, and it was a joy to watch. It's a small place and tables are a bit too close. The back room is an unreasonable cluster where people are right on top of each other. It seemed stuffy when we arrived and that turned into a glistening sweat as we ate. . The server was delightful. She knew the menu and described things well. We really enjoyed her. We ordered cocktails. Her wine was delicious. My old fashioned was perfect. The starter salad was great for my wife. Even my little plate of greens and berries were unexpectedly good. The wait for our meal was unpleasant. We were hot and sweaty. The restaurant was annoyingly loud. We mentioned the heat to the waitress who was sweet and agreed but could not solve the problem. I had scallops with veggies which were amazing. I loved every bite. The scallops had that perfect crispy outside and tender flavorful center. My wife had the beef rib over pasta. She raved about her meal. I snuck a bite and it was flavorful and tender. She carried on about how delicious the pasta was and how incredible the mushrooms were. The meal was truly exceptional. There was a fly that would not leave our table. At the end of our meal, it found a mate and made love on the window sill as we waited for the check. Even they left happy."

"Food was very good. It’s definitely a younger crowd quite noisy. Service was OK waiter seemed annoyed to be asked about wines on the list, which are not typical. If you’re going to offer for someone to taste a wine before deciding you can’t be annoyed if they don’t like it. Can’t say either of our wines was great, but food made up for it!"

"Went here for the Golden Gays brunch on 4/14. It was my first time here. Cute little place minus the construction in the front) and they were PACKED for this event. My girlfriend and I ran late, and didn't have a table to sit at.. Mike managed to get a table and set us up by the vault which was pretty cool, and much appreciated!)Once seated, I noticed about 4-5 servers running like CRAZY. It took us a while to get menus, but once we did, we met our waitress Elaine. Food and drinks also took a while, I ordered the chicken francese and a sex on the beach.. however once I got my food, it was cold. I told Elaine and she was very quick to rectify it. Once remade, it was delicious, definitely recommend. My girlfriend got the ravioli with meatballs- the meatballs were HUGE and she said they were very flavorful.Getting the check after the show was a whole big to-do as not only did one of their computers go down on probably one of the busiest days they've had, but a group of NINE wanted NINE DIFFERENT CHECKS from Elaine Ms. Sherry who posted her 1 star review was one of them- and many of them in that party complained about everything from the start. I was seated right across from them). Needless to say, they caused more congestion. But- BUT, one of the long time workers, Marissa I will never forget her) cleared out the 9 drunken old ladies, myself and 3 other people behind me in about 10 mins! I have never seen someone move so swiftly and efficiently at a cash register!I stayed around after Marissa cashed me out she is an absolute sweetheart and i could see the day had gotten to her) just to learn more about them and the place. I found out that 2 workers called out on the day of this event, it was only Elaine's THIRD shift, and they had other people to come in to help them. They were overwhelmed and it showed but they did the best they could and I went from being frustrated to understanding.This one event does NOT represent the people who work here and the food they serve. Elaine, Mike, Marissa and Dave who I spoke to tonight to make my reservation for NEXT month) are people who love what they do and serve really good food! They know they have kinks to work out which is why I am willing and excited to go back next month for the 2nd Golden Gays brunch."

"Went to have our anniversary dinner there and it was very disappointing. After 1 1/2 hour wait for dinner, we had to leave without eating to make our 7 pm show at Paper Mill. Service was exceptionally slow. Never saw a manager. No one ever apologized or offered to take our check for salads/soda. We were told they were tied up with a big party. People inside were waiting forever for dinners. It's a shame because it's a lovely, little place and we were so looking forward to the homemade pasta as advertised. There's also no alcohol service, which we didn't know, so we didn't bring a bottle. They did offer to call a local store to have it delivered."
