    Gibsons Italia has been my go to for cocktails. This time I ordered the filet sliders which I normally love but were quite tough. Service was great as always.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our Swift and Sons experience. Made reservations for Hub’s birthday dinner and we both loved it. Great and thoughtful service, great food (we both had the home in filet). The mashed potatoes were delicious. Finished with the hot cookie desert. Amazing!

    Loved it! What a lovely dining room and the service was impeccable. They do offer street side dining as well, but it was very hot when we visited and I prefer the dining room. Espresso martini was fabulous. We ordered the summer campenelle salad to share, Bread Service (you have to try this - it's like cheese fondue inside), two of us had Rigatoni Lemongrassata which was a very tasty but light pasta, perfect for a warm evening. Tiramisu and and Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake for dessert were the perfect ending for the night. Loved it and will be back again!
