    Another outstanding experience at Matteo. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday and our waiter made it the most memorable and beautiful evening. His suggestions were perfect and added so much to our meal. He even sang happy birthday to our friend in Italian and has the most incredible voice. The entire experience was amazing!

    We were excited that Brio was open on Christmas Day! we made reservations for Christmas evening for dinner and were treated very well by our server, Seth. Even though servers were bussing their own tables due to reduced staff on the holiday, Seth made sure we were his focus and was attentive to our needs. It is not fun working on a holiday but restaurant staff went out of their way to help us feel welcome.

    Osteria Amore is our favorite restaurant, and tonight was easily the best experience we’ve had so far! Every visit is amazing, but tonight stood out, thanks to Josh, our fantastic server. He put together an incredible three-course dinner that felt effortless and perfect. The food was, as always, absolutely phenomenal—this place never stops impressing us. From the delicious dishes to the warm and welcoming vibe, Osteria Amore nails it every time. Can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable evening!
