    Found Giorgio’s by chance when looking for a restaurant to celebrate our son’s graduation. Turned out to be excellent. From the hands-on service from the owner ( thank you Anthony), live entertainment, and the broad selection of menu items. Overall the food was great. Giorgio’s has been family owned for more than 30 years and you can tell that they take real pride in their hospitality and making you feel at home. I also noticed there were a lot of regular customers, which tells you it is a place that brings you back. Even though we are more than an hour away, we will definitely make our way back again.

    What I thought was just a rebrand actually turned out to be a pretty successful overhaul at Felina Steak at Village Hall. We visited on Saturday night to celebrate a birthday and Mother's Day largely out of convenience and availability. We've been to this location several times when it was just Village Hall and it was fine. A slightly elevated dining experience in a small suburban town with no real memorable dishes, amenities, services or cocktails but it was nice a nice enough option for locals and when entertaining out-of-towners. But this recent revamp to Felina Steak was actually a delightful surprise. Customized menus for the birthday honoree, table-side ice-hold martinis, probably one of the best steaks in the area, well executed dishes all around and even a better version of the one dish I remember from the previous iteration, the Chicken Milanese. This updated version was a better overall cut of chicken, piping hot, well seasoned and topped with a perfectly dressed arugula and tomato salad. I'll definitely be back soon to order it along with either the Imagery Pinot Noir or the beautifully crisp Monkey 47 martini I had on Saturday... or maybe both! Before we arrived, my son asked if the pizza on the menu was American-style or Italian-style (lol) and was pleased to see the wood burning oven at the farside of the dining room before we were seated. He sighed with relief and leaned over to whisper "italian-style" in my ear before placing his obligatory pepperoni pizza order. When it arrived at the table he proceeded to devour half while raving about the quality! The other half was boxed for later and he was handed a coat check tag to retrieve it as we left... a nice touch but of course we forgot the to-go box when we left the restaurant and didn't realize it until we got home... but what could have been annoyance turned into an opportunity. We returned to Felina WITHOUT a child in tow to retrieve the forgotten pizza... and possibly a nightcap!
