    As I was celebrating my birthday, was happy to be going to DiPescara for dinner on May 27, 2023 with my husband. I It was a Saturday evening and they were a full house. We had a reservation and our name was called shortly after we arrived. Good Start. Then the hostess brought us to a table that was maybe big enough for one diner. She said that was all that was available. I spoke to the manager and he was not very helpful. I asked if there was a table available in the bar area. We were ready to leave. Then we were told that a reserved table had not been occupied and we could have it for dinner. It was quite a hassle but the wait staff was very nice in the bar area and the evening was salvaged. I would suggest that Saturday night is not a good night to go out for dinner even on a special occasion.

    I met a friend at Di Pescara that I hadn't seen for a long time. Some restaurants are so noisy you can't hear one another, but not so at Di Pescara. We had a delicious lunch. My friend had a small caesar salad with shrimp, which was perfect for lunch, and certainly plenty (she couldn't quite finish it) for a small salad. I had the barbecue salmon and green beans, which was cooked to perfection Thanks to Di Pescara for a wonderful, tasty lunch and the perfect venue for a reunion of two friends.

    We had a reservation for a special occasion brunch - Mother’s Day - and, despite having five other tables open during our entire meal and even more in the other rooms, they sat us directly next to the kitchen. It was so loud and there was so much traffic that we were not able to enjoy ourselves. We couldn’t really talk, it was really disappointing. The server also didn’t tell us about the specials, and I could tell my mother was disappointed. Food was good however. And so was my drink. We will not return because it was just so exceptionally rude to place us there on a special day with lots of available tables and a reservation.

    The waiter was fantastic. No one else knew anything. The hostess was extremely non accommodating. The restaurant was empty and would not seat us anywhere else even though we asked about three times. The waiter was very good. He would be the only reason I would go back. The food was good. Prices were okay. There are many other places to choose with those attributes. If someone ask you several times for a different table. I feel you should accommodate. The food was good but would not plan to return.

    New, inexperienced wait --and bus--staff made the evening much less enjoyable for one of our favorite restaurants! The food was great and the Supper Club is a good value--but the service staff dropped the ball last night. Our appetizer and salad plates were never removed before the main course came; the waiter disappeared for over 30 minutes and orders came out wrong--even though we waited almost 30 minutes for the food! Dessert order was incomplete or wrong! Very disappointed and embarrassed since we invited friends at our recommendation. Harvey Shoemack

    Had lunch with friends. Three of us split Seafood Chop Salad, 2 Crab Cakes, and Halibut. All of them were outstanding. The salad was big enough for three, or even four people to share. We even shared a key lime pie and an apple pie! Their crab cake was one of the best in the area. As the server suggested, the halibut was so tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection. Hard to share among the three of us, but we managed! We won't wait too long to be back for more seafood!

    Service was excellent as was food quality, portions on smaller side for the price. Inside & outside decor looking tired which also impacted by Northbrook Court mall pretty much vacant, with little investment being made to update.
