    We had dinner in the patio on a summer Monday evening during the Jazz in the garden series. The food was outstanding and the live music was great. I had jalapeño risotto with bacon wrapped shrimp and my spouse had salmon with parsnip purée. Both entrees were excellent. The service was great, as was the atmosphere. Overall it was a wonderful evening, and we will be back.

    I have been here several times and the service has always been so so . Many servers walked past me as I was waiting at my table for my other guest. I finally asked someone passing by for water, otherwise I would have waited longer than 15 minutes to be recognized. I don't understand poor service, it detracts from the overall experience. I don't know if I'll go back .

    Our party had a wonderful lunch at Prego. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with recommendations. The martinis were delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked, and the salmon plate and short rib pappardelle pasta were tasty. Prego was great for a high-quality lunch option in a relaxing atmosphere.
