Restaurants near Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge

When contemplating a restaurant for my birthday, Assados was my first choice. Boy, was I not disappointed! The food was exceptional, the waitress (Elizabeth) very accommodating for changes in the menu, and the ambience very friendly for a sweet get together with close friends. The fireplace was warm and inviting as well. Clearly the owners take pride in their restaurant and staff. It’s a gem!

We had a lovely evening. The service was top notch. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and wine. The other service staff was friendly, polite, and attentive. It was a great experience.

Always a wonderful evening. Cheryl took very good care of us keeping the food and drinks flowing at a perfect pace. Started with bread and the spicy margarita then moved on to a well curated wine selection. We had very fresh shrimp cocktail, a flavorful perfectly dressed arugula and beet salad, a steak, and a pasta. Everything was hot and well prepared. The room was lively and full. A very lovely date night with my Valentine.

I had the ravioli and meatballs which was perfectly cooked and tasted great, my sweetheart had the veal marsala which she liked also. Sheila our server was very friendly and helpful.

Our bartender, JR, was OUTSTANDING. He's made for bigger and better things than tending bar, but he seems to be very happy doing what he's doing, so we hope he's around for a while. He managed a full bar of at least 15 guests, perhaps more than 20, plus the restaurant diners' needs, and did it with a big smile, very friendly manner, and didn't miss a beat in our service. Seemed like at any given time he was doing two or three things at once — chatting with customers, taking orders, clearing, serving, making drinks, washing glasses and shakers, boxing up take-home, etc. But he did it all with a smile and super positive attitude. Bar'Lino really should have two bartenders working a bar that large, but at least the one they have was more than capable of handling it. Outside of the great service, we enjoyed our meals — really like the Bar Bites menu, especially the meatball sliders and pizzette. Paired with a salad, it was the perfect dinner for me.
