I cannot think of anything worse than having to work on Christmas day in a public facing role. So I was overjoyed that our server at Valentino's for our Christmas dinner was outstanding--smiling, polite, and perfectly attentive. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I had to take half of my dinner home and order my dessert to go. The special holiday menu with turkey, ham, and a vegetarian option was especially appreciated as grandma said that having a Christmas dinner at an Italian restaurant "did not sound like Christmas." Thank you to Valentino's staff for making our holiday a little less family drama and a lot more delicious.

I needed a lunch spot with a variety of foods and ample parking for friends who were recovering from surgeries. This was a great location. The server was attentive. The crab and lobster dip was okay but the lunches we ordered were excellent. No complaints from anyone in our party. The only suggestion I have is to include the prices for all of the cocktails.
