    Restaurant is wonderful and staff and service were excellent. Only problem was the valet service out front was quite aggressive about mandating that we valet despite there being a handicap parking spot. When we parked there (we have the proper placard), valet guy demanded that we pay him for the valet or he would Call security. Thankfully the manager inside handled everything and took care of the situation but that valet guy should be reprimanded for poor and illegal behavior.

    Foccacio bread was fresh and tasty. The accompanying butter was flavorful. Thr frittomitto -fried calamari was crunchy and savory. Salmon was well cooked and very tender. There was a good crunch with the Branzino fillet. 2 cuts of Lamb chops were cooked well. The price was too expensive for the dish.

    We had dinner for 7 as a celebration for a big business success & this place was a perfect venue for this occasion. The service was perfect, sophisticated and just the right amount of attention was given to our group without intruding in our celebration. The food was lovely (all three courses) and the wines selection was broad, appropriate for the genre and well priced. Visually all the courses were sublime, especially dessert. This is a great place for a very fine evening and meal. The hospitality was top notch. This the accents weren’t authentic, I’d vote to give them an Oscar nomination (at least).
    TavolaResponded on May 21, 2025
    Thank you so much for choosing us to celebrate such an important milestone — and congratulations on your business success! We're truly honored to have been part of the occasion. It’s wonderful to hear that everything from the service to the food and wine contributed to a memorable evening. We put a lot of care into creating a refined but relaxed experience, so your comments mean a great deal to the whole team. And as for the accents — we’ll pass along the Oscar nomination! 😊 We hope to welcome you back for many more celebrations to come. Filippo Cipelletti GM at Tavola
