"The four course tasting menu gave us an opportunity to try a couple of dishes we wouldn't have ordered otherwise. It is a nice bargain at $39. The food was very good and the portions just right. This was our first visit to Extra Virgin. We will most definitely come back."

"Second time at Extra Virgin and it remains a good place for food. All four in our party had something different and everyone was happy. There is a nice selection of appetizers and starters -- good pasta and seafood dishes, as well. Four courses for $39 (pre-theater meal) makes it quite a bargain. Servers meant well, but skills needed polishing."

"We dine at Extra Virgin often. This was the first brunch experience. It was not their finest display of service and food. They ran out of lamb(not good on Easter), salmon and other items at least one hour before the brunch ended. Labels were missing from items and they let the bowls get very depleted before replacing leaving unappealing buffet. Salad was not appealing given they didn't mix it as a ceasar and had dressing on side. The service tending the buffet table was poor in keeping it well stocked. I had to asked more than once for something to be refilled. They Overall, they did not do brunch as well as they do regular dining. We always like their sit down service. Service was okay but they didn't even offer other types of drinks."

"We were met and seated instantly. the appetizers were awesome,the dinner special, Halibut was delicious. The lasagna pasta a little mushy and the sauce a little bland not bad just not to our guest liking. The wine perfect, the timing well executed and our server Sam's a gem. We can't wait to return."

"As usual, the wait staff and the food was great. However, we had an 8 pm reservation and had our dog with us so had asked to sit outside. We arrived just after another couple (sans dog) who did not have a reservation and they were seated first. Our reservation should have been honored and we should have been seated first. We were seated at 8:30 and had to wait with the pup that whole time. Luckily we ran into the owner or chef and he helped move the process along, but it was unfortunate that this long wait (with a reservation) marred the experience for us this time. We'll be back, because we enjoy the food and the usual service we receive there, but were disappointed this time around."
