Great appetizers and shareable pizzas and strombolis. Entrees are varied between pastas, meats and seafood. Killer desserts. Patio seating available daily. Tuesdays live music out there; lots of regulars and very enjoyable, but very hard to hear table conversations!

We've been here a few times. Always had a good time. This time we were seated close to the kitchen, it was a bit noisy so we ask to be relocated, not a problem. They were more than happy to grant our request. The food as great, service was professional and friendly. Cocktail prices are a bit high but we had a great time

This was my first time at this restaurant, I have had the pleasure of dining at all kinds of fine dining establishments in the US. This one single handedly blew me out of the water, not only that but also with a last minute reservation the day of. The server Angela was beyond outstanding, the back of house staff made me and my partners food at a quality no less than perfection. Also Shelby (supervisor of the night) was extremely accommodating and made us feel like this was our 100th time coming in despite me having never been there before. I walked into Martinis not expecting much, but walked out having received the best service I could’ve ever dreamed of. Thank you to the whole team that worked May 30th 2023 ❤️

Everything was very nice. There was a group waiting to be seated that was extremely loud near our booth. This was very disturbing for 10-15 minutes. Food was very good. Had the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp feature appetizer - delicious. Wedge Salad was very well presented and a nice portion. Delmonico Steak was fantastic and the Filet was very good as well. Wasn't able to eat all of the filet as it was undercooked. Side potato orders were enjoyed as well. Service was very good. So, all in all we had a very enjoyable dinner minus the noisy people waiting to be seated that should have gathered in the lobby and not near our booth and the restrooms!

Our Farewell Dinner to our Supervisor at Spaghetti Warehouse was a great experience. All seven of us enjoyed delicious food and drink. Our server was exceptional We had brought a cake with us, and our server provided us with dessert plates and utensils. We had a fantastic time. I would recommend Spaghetti Warehouse for any celebratory event.
