    Martinis is always an awesome stop. Our first time there with the new menu, thank God the house fillet dish has not changed. It is truly amazing. I’m also a big beat salad fan. There, the new version was good, but the old version was my all-time favorite anywhere that I’ve ever had. My wife got chicken Parm and it never disappoints. Great place to eat and we will definitely go back.

    We made a reservation for 8:15 but decided to go early at 7 to maybe catch drinks at the bar. We were able to sit down immediately and never left. Mike and Lexis behind the bar were absolutely great--super friendly and fast despite it being very busy. After our salads, my wife ordered the chicken parmesan and I opted for the braised lamb papperdelle. Both were spectacular...incredibly tasty and nice sized servings. Highly recommend!
