Catherine LombardiWonderful food and serviceWe really enjoyed dining at Catherine Lombardis. The service was excellent and friendly and the food was excellent. Would definitely go back.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Choice AroundI chose this restaurant for my celebration with just my fiancé and me. We were absolutely beyond pleased with everything. The food was outstanding and the drinks were incredible. They offered us suggestions and their suggestions were perfect for what we were looking for! I'd recommend this beautiful restaurant for special occasions or just a lovely dinner out. Great service, perfect atmosphere, amazing food, and really nice portions! I can't wait to go back!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food and serviceThis is the second time I have eaten here. Very convenient to the State Theater and parking is nearby. Each time I arrived when they opened so I am not sure what it is like when it gets crowded. The service was very good. Bartenders are very friendly, waitstaff are very knowledgeable and attentive. Not your average menu - they have items not normally found in every restaurant such as entrees featuring Wild Boar. Food was served promptly and was delicious. Will definitely return.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great Treat!Very pleased with the appetizers and entrees. Comparable to NYC offerings but local prices.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place!This was our second time back to this restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint! We are looking forward to going back again.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMEvening at CLThis was our 5th visit to this restaurant. The staff is very attentive but not over bearing. Their Italian dishes remind you of food your grandma made for you. It's a comfortable and enjoyable restaurant.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding DinnerMy wife and I had a wonderful meal. They offer three mini-appetizers for $10 of which we had olives, parmigiano cheese and salami which went perfectly with the fresh, warm bread. Service was attentive and friendly. For the main course, my wife had the scallops and I ordered the pork. The dishes were well-prepared and very tasty and was finished off with cappuccino and a cannoli.
The meal was not rushed at all. We had a wonderful time and promised ourselves we would return soon.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were a party of ten weWe were a party of ten we all enjoyed everything. they held our reservation with only 2 of our party there until the rest arrived running a little behind schedule due to a graduation. We would definiteky return.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food, excellentExcellent food, excellent drinks. Some of the price tags a tad heart-stopping ($39 for three ounces of wonderful Iberian ham), but generally worth the splurge.

Cannot wait to return.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother excellent eveningOur second experience at Catherine Lombardi was as impressive as our first. They have a very sophisticated model and they pull it off beautifully. It is rather pricey, mostly due to a highly exclusive wine list, but our meals were outstanding. From the sazarac to the veal porterhouse everything was very well prepared.
Our Mother's Day celebration was a success because of the excellent food, ambience and relaxed pace at Catherine Lombardi. We look forward to another special occasion to dine there.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time there definitelyFirst time there definitely would go again.

Only problem was my second "Makers Mark" arrived as they were clearing the dinner plates and getting ready for coffee and dessert. I ordered it when the dinners arrived. Perhaps a better drink delivery plan is needed.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was really good andThe food was really good and the service was great. The slight downside, out of 5 cocktails that I sampled (no, I didn't DRINK 5 cocktails), I only considered one of them worth trying again.
