    My fiance and I came to dine with our families as a treat for them and as an informal tasting for our wedding next year. The staff was very friendly and comped some dishes for us to try. In addition, my uncle's birthday just passed and we wanted to celebrate him and the staff generously put a candle on the dessert and sent him home with a gift. We are so excited to have our wedding at Tellers Next Door!

    Service was very great. Food prepared well with extremely generous portions. Veal Parm was good but thinner/pounded out cuts would have been better. So instead of too thick the cutlets maybe it would’ve been four thin ones which would’ve been more in keeping with the way veal cutlet Parmesan is prepared.Other dishes ordered were very good. Enjoyed the salad special with 2 huge burrata pieces, watermelon , etc. Also the wine menu was just ok. Drink menu was pretty good. Deserts we had were also very good. The tiramisu is definitely made for sharing. Cheesecake was a regular cheesecake with a rainbow cookie bottom that looked pretty but really tasted like a regular cheesecake, which isn’t a bad thing, but was hoping for more rainbow cookie and the chocolate topping taste to go along with it.
