    Another excellent experience at Sullivans! We wanted to impress our guests about the food and ambiance of Sullivans. That desire was satisfied. Our compliments to management, wait staff and the Chef.

    Absolutely amazing experience for our anniversary. We had Monique and Jasmine as our servers and they were phenomenal. Food was excellent decor a little outdated but no big deal once you eat the dinner you realize the decor doesn’t matter.

    Appetizers were great (burrata and fried artichokes). Dinner was ok and over priced. The burger was meh and the Moholland salad was small for the price and something I could have made at home with my chopper. The service from Autumn made up for the ‘ok’ food. She was attentive and incredibly friendly. Autumn was memorable! The dessert (banana and ice cream) was excellent and the various spritz drinks were incredible. You can’t beat the ambiance! I would eat here again and try to order something different (my friend said the lobster roll was delicious). I wish there was a different menu for lunch versus dinner though.
