    We had a wonderful dinner at Delfina Restaurant last night. We ordered a lot of items and loved every one of them (except the gelato which seemed a bit freezer burned... but the pavlova made up for it!). The whole fish, the ragu, all of the sides (chard, Brussels sprouts, etc.), the pizza, etc. Everything had the best of ingredients and unusual (and very tasty) preparations. The service was attentive and friendly... overall, it was a great experience. We'll absolutely return.

    It was an amazing dinner! The food, ambiance, and service were on point. Our waiter, Brian, had wonderful suggestions, and the timing of the dishes coming out of the kitchen was perfect. Don't miss the ceviche with corn fritters or the pulpo. The cocktails are a wonderful addition to the meal. Wonderful restaurant and service made for a perfect evening. I will definitely be coming back.

    We LOVED this restaurant. We sat inside so we couldn’t see the movie, but that wasn’t really an issue. The restaurant itself was stunning. Our server David was absolutely lovely. He really made our experience. The food was great, we got the smoked salmon, burrata with pears, sesame chicken, and pork chop. Everything was delicious. For dessert we got crème brûlée and a sort of chocolate mousse. Fantastic. It’s an expensive date but you pay for the food and the experience. Would go again!
