Birthday dinner with siblings. Wonderful service (thx Robin!!) and food. Bib Salad was a wonderful surprise deconstructed on the plate. Calamari was the best I have had. Shared a Tomahawk Steak which was wonderful. Short Rib Ragu pasta was also fantastic. They plated a small birthday cake for us and wrote a beautiful and personalized "Happy Birthday" on the plate for us and did not charge a plate fee like most restaurants do(!). Highly recommended, especially for a special occasion. Overall excellent value, high level of service and 100% on the food prep and presentation. Thank you, Tosca!

Chardonnay's is a casual yet elegant restaurant featuring eclectic new-American cuisine and a carefully chosen wine list that includes twenty wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. We do not take reservations for the bar or the bar area, sorry. Those seats are first come first serve.

We had the most marvelous meal at Byblos! I brought two friends who didn't know the restaurant, but they asked me where to find the very best Lebanese food. Other than my own cooking, it's absolutely the homemade food at Byblos. We were delighted the the lunch specials -- all of them varied and delicious, along with a few of the standard dishes. Our server, Scotty, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful in making it a memorable time with friends. The pace was slow; the atmosphere was elegant and quiet -- relaxing, delicious, and soul satisfying. Thank you!

We were a party of 4, old friends who hadn’t seen each other in many years, and decided to meet at Porticello. The food was spectacular! I also liked that while the restaurant was crowded, it wasn’t noisy, so it was easy to hear each other talk. The service was a bit slow, but we were not in a rush. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
