    This is definitely not the same Mom and Dads it used to be years ago. Severely disappointing. They used to have the absolute best lasagna. Multiple Layers of pasta and so delicious! Last nights meal was like a sub par microwaveable pasta dish that had been over baked in the oven until Dry and crispy. Our server was great, but we will not return. Hate to be so negative, but very disappointed.

    Mom and Dads is our go to Italian restaurant. Beautiful restaurant but very casual dress is fine. The happy-hour is a good value. The shrimp pasta is great and the baked spaghetti is spot-on. As the weather cools the outdoor seating is very nice. This restaurant has actually gotten better since it opened.

    The Mother's Day brunch was great. It was a little disappointing that they ran out of the prime rib so early in the service but other than that, I was pleased with the offering. They were really accommodating when we were seated on the patio and requested to be moved because the sun was shining bright on our table. Thank you for moving us. The attention from the servers and management was excellent. The experience was very enjoyable.

    Limited menu for Graduation was awful. The pasta sauce was disgusting. Thick and was too sweet. Chicken parm had a burnt taste. Complained and the waitress ignored me. Way too expensive. Tiny pizza for my son due to the limited menu and they wouldn’t make a bigger one. Really awful place. Find something better.

    We are Easter brunch on Sunday. We made reservations late and had to sit outside. They had heaters on and did the best they could due to the unexpected cold weather. The food was awesome with so many food items to choose from. We hope to make this an annual event.

    I am in a wheelchair and the place was not really equipped for that. I was told next time to let them know. There was no way in the form to do that. Very overpriced and very crowded. Plates were like saucers making you havevtobreturn several times in that crowded space. Food was mediocre and definitely overpriced.

    We had a great date at Mom and Dad's! The ambiance is fantastic; live music and a fresh rose and candle at each table were highlights. Our server did very well at making us feel comfortable and answering any questions we had about the menu. The drinks we ordered were out very promptly and were delicious. We were a bit frustrated with the wait for the items that we ordered. We had a good time chatting and enjoying our drinks, but there were significant delays between the appetizer and main course. It did make us hungry again, which was a plus, but definitely plan on staying for a bit. Portion sizes were smaller than we expected for the price, but the food was delicious. Overall, it's a great spot to have a nice dinner for a date, birthday, or other social outing. The food is amazing, despite the long waits. As long as you budget your time accordingly, and don't mind your conversation partner, I would recommend it. Definitely try the drinks!

    First visit since they moved to the North end of town. The restaurant is lovely and large. The Staff was wonderful (Stephanie Tanner look alike sorry I dont remember her name.) On a random Wednesday night it took a while for the food to come to the table luckily we were not in a hurry. Ordered the fettuccini with shrimp and the chicken parmesan very good. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the lobster ravioli, either the pasta or the coating was much too thick for the slight lobster filling. Overall it was a nice experience.
