    I had lunch here with a friend and I have nothing but good to report. Our server was spot on with her timing at every step, the butternut squash ravioli I ordered was a winter miracle of happiness to eat, and the restaurant atmosphere was warm and cozy. Great job Valentina’s! I’ll be back and soon.

    1st - Kori, our server was fantastic. The good was delicious as always. The stuffed pepper soup was excellent, and both sandwiches were good as well. Our only complaint is the menu changes that removed the pizza and moved the fried chicken to a special has us disappointed. We used to visit a couple of times monthly, but with the menu changes, it's down to once monthly.

    We had a very cozy early dinner at the Pearl. We requested to move our seats close to the window for the river view and our waitress happily moved us. The happy hour was wonderful.
