    It was a nice early dinner with family celebrating two different family members birthday. Claudia our server was fantastic! Funny as well. Thank you Claudia. Her assistant at her tables was also very helpful and taking care of our table. I have to also add that it was not noisy as our last visit prior to this one. No entertainment at the time but, some really low music somewhere, really low which was perfect, to have the enjoyment of the table as a whole. Thank you for that. We had some very nice conversations. Thank you again Claudia, you’re awesome!

    Bootleggers is our favorite restaurant. It never disappoints.The food was delicious. The service was right on point. However I was not happy with where we were seated right near the bar, and it was too noisy it ruined our dining experience , I missed sitting in the main dining room. We’re not people who complain, however I plan on requesting the main dining room on our next visit to bootleggers.

    They recently raised their prices, $30 for lasagna now. They are moving toward fine dining prices, not a local family restaurant any longer…..
