Best Authentic Restaurants in Country Club

Everything about our experience was wonderful! On a typically busy neighborhood street, they had free valet parking when you pull up. Our reservation was immediately noted and we were given very comfortable seating. The wait staff was more-than-appropriately attentive and uber-professional. The timing of the plating was perfect and each new course was served without much overlap with the one that was presented prior. The dishes were very tasty and cooked exactly right. The swordfish dinner was perfect. The Vongole Oreganata (clams) was delicious, but the breading was a bit excessive. Nevertheless...very, very enjoyable. The meal concluded with an amazing cannoli and a Manhattan tartufo. Espresso was a must, and perhaps the best tasting brew in our experience. When we exited the restaurant, our car was already waiting at the door. Marios is a restaurant we have every intention of eating at again (...and again). (Personal note: My family used to dine at Mario's when I was a young child growing up in the Bronx. Mario's granddaughter still runs the family restaurant, greeting us at the door. The experience hasn't dimmed one iota in the 60 years that have elapsed since!!)

The pasta is perfect and the Osso Bucco to die for. Or, you can fly to Florence. Your call.

Mythos on a Saturday night was busy with many families. The service people were kept hopping with so many patrons. It felt a bit rushed. My friends and I shared the Pikilia (4 dips) and a grilled cheese appetizer. The greek dips were about average, but the Saganaki was delicious. For entrees,I had the grilled shrimp, my husband had the grilled red snapper and my friend enjoyed the grilled salmon. My large shrimp was well prepared, and nicely seasoned. It was a large portion size too. My friend enjoyed her salmon. It was grilled exactly to her liking. My husband’s red snapper was a bit undersized but delicious. They did a nice job in deboning it. We will return.

Always amazing food, courteous staff and a wonderful dining experience!!

Old school red sauce joint. Excellent on every level.
