    We hadn’t been to Onesto in probably 6-8 years and the food just isn’t as good as it used to be. The beet salad was bitter and on the boring side, Caesar salad had too much lemon, and the gnocchi was disappointing given the price and how much food you actually received. I had 2 pieces of lobster, no scallop, and mostly teeny tiny shrimp. Our waitress never even made it to our table to check on how our food was until we were done eating. It was disappointing.

    Hi Kristin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your recent experience at Onesto didn’t meet expectations, especially after such a long time away. We appreciate your honest comments about the food and service — this is not the experience we aim to provide. Your concerns about the salads, gnocchi, and service have been noted and will be shared with our team for immediate review. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to show you the quality and hospitality we're known for.
