Booked 18 times todayFood was outstanding as always. Service from parking to sit down was polite and welcoming. Waiter (Chady) was calm, confident, and knowledge. Provided a clear path between drinks, appetizers, and main. Never hovered, but readily available (as with other supporting staff). Perfect amount of service and privacy provided:) All in all, five-star from start to finish. Lombardos is a staple that keeps the family returning for generations. Period. More

The service is always excellent and we usually eat much earlier than we normally do, to have a better chance at a table by the window and a great view of the lake. This time I had the lasagna and it was first time I was a bit disappointed in the food. It was just too heavy and overwhelmed by the sauce. We’ll certainly return, though, to try other dishes! More

Perfect place for an upscale meal or special occasion. Our meals and appetizers were perfectly prepared. Started out with their spinach bread and oysters Rockefeller. Both were delicious. Next came the decadence of egg, which is egg yolk custard, crispy pancetta truffle and hot potato foam served in a egg shell with the top 1/2 inch or so removed. This is a delicious and remarkable little appetizer. My wife had a fillet that was cooked exactly as she ordered it. Lately when ordering fillets at other restaurants medium rare is either raw or way overdone. I had a lobster tail which had neatly been removed from its shell. This made it quite easy to eat the perfectly cooked tail. Our waiter, Fred, was a delight. Polite and attentive but not intrusive. Always available when needed but never interrupting our conversations. More

Toutant has got to be one of the best restaurants I have been to as of late. The service, food, and atmosphere were all absolutely incredible! The corn dumplings were little pillows of heaven and we could not stop eating them. The flavour was umami at its best! You can't go wrong with the fried chicken or jambalaya either. They were both outstanding. My mom and I felt like we were back in Charleston, SC when we ate there. Kudos to the Chef for sharing a part of his childhood memories with us. We will never forget our fantastic meal at Toutant, and hope to go back one day soon! More

The only issue with the food was that one person’s flank steak was cooked to medium well instead of rare. It was still okay. The other items: risotto, pappardelle were great, and the scallops and desserts were amazing. More

Everything from the time we walked in the door to the time we walked out was perfect!!! We arrived a few minutes late and the hostess was more than gracious and let us grab a drink at the bar before we sat down. Drinks without fail we’re beyond average!!! Tony was fantastic and our drinks were superb!! Franklin our waiter was attentive and spot on without ever being pushy. All 4 of our courses were delicious and beautiful!! Above everything else Angela the manager made our evening so extra special that I cannot put it into words. She really does this restaurant an incredible service and really put our experience over the top. I you haven’t tried Patina....GO!!! Well played to the entire staff. I will 100% recommend this place to anyone who will listen More

We were greeted by the general manager, Brian when we walked in the door and he later stopped over at our table; he was very kind and sociable, congratulated us on our expecting baby and mentioned the private room they have to host showers and parties. Our server was Nick, who we will request on all future visits (this was our first time dining in their restaurant) was very attentive and helpful, we had conversation and joked with him; Nick made us feel like it was a friend taking care of us. For food we started with the calamari, which my wife loves but I usually don’t......to my surprise I loved theirs and ate more than my wife wanted to share. We also had the caprese salad which we loved and tried the Margherita pizza which was amazing and we will order every time we visit. Thanks for the great service! More

My wife and I dined there on a Monday evening which explained why it was so quiet. I think there were only 5 other people dining at the same time. But we had a wonderful meal and a chance to talk without shouting. My Delmonico steak was perfect, and the lobster bisque was also tasty with large chunks of lobster (some places you get shredded pieces and you can't always be sure if it is really lobster). We would go back there again for certain. More

Food was very good for the most part - starter salad seemed a bit limp, and it took quite a while to get the food with very few tables in the restaurant. Not great for a quick work lunch. I do however appreciate that fresh meals need more time to prepare. Overall very good food, and server was excellent also More
