    Staff always professional. Chef accommodates special requests and diet restrictions. And the manager, Lane, always greets us with open arms. He is the reason we choose to dine at Shanahans versus another steak house.

    EL FIVE was a great place for my son's birthday. The ambiance and food were amazing. And staff were all so attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the menu. The chef sent out some incredible dishes to our table. CATY was a fantastic server, knowledgeable and great personality to make our experience top notch.

    We’ve long been fans of Rioja but the dinner we had tonight was, perhaps, the best ever. The bacon-wrapped cod was perfect. The service, as always, was impeccable, and the ambiance was friendly, comfortable, inviting.

    We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the evening was the pasta with lobster—perfectly cooked and brimming with flavor. It was a dish to savor with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion being my wife’s birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great suggestion made for our first time here! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance, Tavernetta is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!
