Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Springfield

I was traveling to see my kids for Thanksgiving and came here for the Thanksgiving buffet. The owner greeted me with a smile, handshake and a hug. The waitress was very attentive and the buffet was good. Everyone was very friendly.

Everything we tried was outstanding! Highly recommend the sampler. I wish we weren’t several states away or we’d be regulars!

Our party of 4 had an amazing experience last night! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. First off, the convenience of free off-street parking was a big plus. The portions were absolutely gigantic—come hungry! Our server, Brandy, was phenomenal. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I started with the jalapeño margarita, which was the perfect blend of spice and sweetness, and the seafood chowder, which was rich and flavorful. For mains, I enjoyed the perfectly cooked strip steak with creamy Parmesan risotto and a fresh side salad loaded with vibrant vegetables and tangy Greek olives. My husband opted for the surf and turf, and he was raving about how perfectly everything was prepared. This was hands-down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Delicious food, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Have passed bNapoli numerous times on our way to the theatre. It always looked interesting, so we joined friends there last night for our first visit. Won't be our last. From start to finish, the experience was totally enjoyable. Wonderful service, food and drinks, and ambiance.

We have always liked Lattitude, but we had not been there is a few months. Tonight’s meal was above and beyond.The Caeser salad was amazing:My husband and I shared one…then we ordered another one. Our entrees and wine were wonderful: pork chops for him, deconstructed Chicken Parm for me. To top it off, we had the cheesecake…flavorful and rich, but not too heavy. Best of all, we had a funny, competent waitperson named Whitney who just made the whole experience that much better. Thank you, Whitney!! Kathy and Dave
