   Food was not as hot and fresh as you would expect. Two people at our had to wait an uncomfortable amount of time for their food while everyone had theirs. No water refill waiter until our meal was basically done. I am sure they have had better nights at their restaurant. Seems to be apparent that they were low on staff in the kitchen as well as dining area. Excellent location and decor was very reminiscent of restaurants we had been in Italy. Male host was wonderfully friendly and even took a picture of our group at our table for us.

   The Garden at The Summit is a great spot for your everyday date spot. I also saw a bunch of families with young kiddos as well. The inside is beautiful and my wife and I talked about the design for at least 5 minutes. The food is authentic and delicious. The cocktails were refreshing and our server was impeccable. The food did take a while, probably a mishap in the kitchen and nothing normal (40 min) and the chairs in the indoor seating were not very comfortable. Still a 5 star kind of establishment. You won’t leave here unhappy.

   With our reservation we still waited 30 minutes for our table. Our food was pretty much inedible and the drinks were not good as well. We waited 45 minutes for our food. We asked to speak with the manager and she blamed being short staffed and employees calling in and not having fill ins for the kitchen. Our bill was over $200 and nothing was offered to make up for the fact that we didn’t eat or drink anything we ordered.

   Service was terrible. We had a 6:30 reservation and didn’t get our food until 8:45. Server said she was getting us bread and came back 30 minutes later with it and no plates or silverware. When we asked for silverware she said “yes be right back” and didn’t come back for 45 minutes. Bread was then cold and hard. Server didn’t seem to mind that we were upset with the wait nor did she tell us about any delay in kitchen wait until we complained hour 1/2 later.

   We made a Reservation for Mother’s Day at 7:45 and we found out there they close at 8. The server literally told us that he would have to stay longer then he should since we had a late reservation, that made the dinner uncomfortable, we felt like we had eat fast and leave. Gratuity was added to our check at 20% when the service was really not a 20% tip. Dirty plates were on the table towards almost the end of our visit. And the vibe there was really weird. Definitely not coming back nor recommending this place.

   This was very disappointing since we had been to this restaurant a couple of times before. They do not appear to be set up for brunch. We had to wait 35 minutes to receive our order, poached eggs were hard, coffee drinks were just warm. However, the mimosa was great.

   Starting with pros: food is 5 star on the way! Cons: Service If restaurants could make it in food alone the restaurant would be a success. Sadly I don’t think that will be the case here. We made a reservation. An inexperienced host sat us 30-45 minutes after our reservation. When asked how long it would take to get sat she couldn’t give me a time frame but only said it would be soon. Our waitress did not ring up my husbands meal at all. She also never checked back on us after our food was delivered by the runner. So my husband did not get to eat. We would have like to get an order of food to take home but we’re not given the opportunity. My husband would have liked a second beer (along with his meal). Again no opportunity. Desert was something we planned to have but again no opportunity. Once our order was taken we did not see the waitress again till it was time to close our check. (Even then I had to waiver her down to request our check as we had another commitment and needed to get going) The owners are loosing money due to the lack of service. I really wish them the best since the food we did get to try was so delicious. I hope to go back again soon and try some of their other menus selections.

    Not sure about the food, but had a reservation and was told it would be 20-30 minutes after our designated reservation time. 45 minutes later we had to leave to make our plans that night. No point in a reservation.

    Booked this restaurant for daughter and friends Prom night. Had a 645 reservation and when daughter checked in at 645 was told it would be another 15-20 minutes. What's the point of a reservation? She checked back at 7 and was told table still not ready. Luckily I was in the area and went into speak to hostess'. I was told " oh yeah the table is ready" at 7:05. I don't think that would have been the case if it was still only my daughter. They were seated by 7:10 (25 min late) and ordered. Food didn't come out until after 830. They ended not getting to prom until after 9 (started at 8). She did say everyone enjoyed their food a lot. So that's good! I would go eat here just not on a busy night. Sounds like they didn't plan well for having a prom held in the hotel next door.

    Hondo was a wonderful service person. Very professional and attentive to all our needs. Food was consistent with the past. Very good. I don’t know why more people aren’t coming. Maybe you should do something to draw attention as many from the area are not familiar.

    Overall it is Italian food and its hard to mess up. However the Lasagne was room temp, the charcuterie board took over 20 minutes to come out of the kitchen (there were 5 tables in the whole restaurant including us). Service was slow, the waiter seemed overwhelmed like he was servicing a full house solo, but there were plenty of staff. Everything took forever, ordering, refills, appetizers, entrees, the check. Its pretty mediocre to begin with with kinda bad service and their prices are not inline with their offering. I wish it was better because its close, convenient, and I like Italian, but overall not really worth it. Just 'meh" with slow service.

    This was our first visit there. Everything was awesome. Half priced wine on Wednesdays is worth the trip. We were greeted immediately and seated with menus and water. Wine recommended was delicious. Apps...OMG. Our group had different dinner entrees and each were also delicious. Did we save room for dessert? You betcha. The best we've had in years. We will definitely be back.

    We are regulars at The Garden and particularly enjoy Happy Hour appetizers and a nice glass of wine. There are only a few dinner plates, but they are excellent, if priced a bit high. Overall, an excellent place to dine.

    My wife and I had a great Friday evening dinner out on the patio. Lots of nice lights, server was nice enough to light a heater for us, great service, great food - especially the fingerlings (smashed and roasted potatoes) A bit pricey but ended up being worth it.

    It was ok. We had an 8pm reservation on a Saturday night, but no reservation was needed. There were only about 4 other parties in the main dining room and 2 outdoors (on a very pleasant night). No major issues occurred, but nothing outstanding either. We had to ask for water after we ordered cocktails and had to ask for bread, even though we didn't order any appetizers and it took a surprisingly long time for the meal to be served. I had the crispy trout and my wife had the Pappardelle Alla Medici Again with the theme, the cocktails were ok. My Martini was watery and while I would normally think a full glass is good, this was so full that it spilled onto the table when the server set it down We've heard the pizza is really good, but that wasn't in our plans for that night. It's unlikely we will return as there are just too many better options in the area.

    The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. The food was good quality and tasty and the service excellent. I was allowed to bring a birthday cake in for a celebration and a vegetable substitution was allowed again their normal policy, which was appreciated. Other diners informed us that the pizza was very good, so I look forward to trying it on my next visit!
