    We had a wonderful dinner out in the beautiful courtyard. The food and drink were great, service was exceptional and we had a wonderful visit by the owner. Highly recommend.

    Dined outside and it was as lovely as usual. Food wonderful, again, as usual. But I have to say that I was quite shocked that I was charged $38 for a small appetizer salad with peaches and mozzarella!!!!! They should have at least told me the cost since it was a 'special'.

    We went there for a Father's Day brunch and were not disappointed. Two of us enjoyed a French omelette and eggs benedict and one of us had an amazing fluffy French toast with brioche, creme brulee and fresh berries. We also had bottomless mimosas (there was a choice of several juices, but the peach puree was a winner). The courtyard is pretty, quiet and dog-friendly. We will return on another Sunday.

    We have been here many times and I’ve had wonderful service and wonderful food. Last night was an exception, but it was terrible. We got seated right away and ordered some drink drinks. Those took a while to come as well as our appetizer french fries. We sat at 6 o’clock and two of our dinners came within about a half an hour. The last one didn’t come until we were almost getting ready to leave, which was about 730. We decided not to have that dish. Ask them to take it off the bill. It was not a good experience.

    I wanted someplace to grab a bite before seeing a show at a nearby theater. I was alone and thought dining at Intermezzo would be handy as it’s just down the street. Everyone was very gracious there, and when I ordered a wine by the glass that I wasn’t familiar with, the server offered to give me a taste first. I was a little surprised they didn’t have more Pinot Noirs by the glass. The bus boy was super efficient with refilling my water glass, which I appreciated. I had the artichoke salad and French onion soup. Both were fine, however, I did note that the French onion soup had a tang to it that was unfamiliar. Perhaps some vinegar thrown in at the very end? The biggest challenge in dining at Intermezzo is parking. The lot next to the restaurant used to be open to the public, but since Covid is no longer available. All in all, a fine experience, but not mind blowing.
