    We always have a great meal at Padrino’s. The staff is helpful and attentive. Even for the buffet which is outstanding. I use them for catered events too and always receive compliments about the food.

    Everyone at Padrino's was excellent. The host, server and food were fantastic. The ambience was truly energetic. I would most definitely take my friends and family there for dinner anytime they are in town.
