    Food was great but we were sat in the room close to Dresden Rd which is next to a large AC unit. The other room had nice music while our dining area’s music was drowned out by wind.

    Everything from the time we arrived was an amazing experience. The service on every level was amazing from checking in for our reservation to our service from Tony and the choices he provided to make the dining experience memorable. I would recommend coming and I will definitely be back.

    Another fabulous 4-generation family experience at Valenza! Kendall took great care of us, as always. Our “senior” diner was my mother (95), while our youngest was my 2-year old granddaughter. Highly recommended!

    Valenza is our favorite restaurant and the food and service is always impeccable, and we go every two weeks. I did want to say that my octopus and grouper special entree was a bit undercooked. I brought that grouper to the attention of our server and it was cooked some more, but would have appreciated a visit from the manager.
