    We dined on a Thursday night and there was only one other table occupied. There were 3 employees standing around looking at videos and laughing. We were approached after 10 minutes for a drink order. We waited another 15 minutes to place our dinner order which took 30 minutes to arrive.

    We were excited to have dinner here since the menu online looked good. Since it was Valentine’s Day we were forced to get a $70 pre-fixed menu per person. Nobody told us at the entrance that it was the only choice and got surprised with it at the table. After waiting for 15 minutes for water I had to ask the food runner for it since the server never showed up to say hello. He came to our table 15 minutes after just to take our order and never came back to check on our food or drinks. The appetizers were delicious, the main courses were not great. The stake and the burger were overcooked. The desserts were the worst part of the meal, they had no flavor. The entire experience was bad, they basically took our money and provided a poor dinner and a terrible service. I don’t recommend this place for holidays, they will take your money and offer mediocre service to charge you a service charge at the end even if the experience was bad.

    Food service was pretty good due to the fact it was a packed house, and the singing was top notched I was not a fan of the food but maybe it was just what I picked out, honestly give it a try

    My husband and I came here for Valentine’s Day and it was a huge mistake. What went well 1. We both enjoyed the taste and presentation of our appetizer and entree What went wrong 1. When we arrived, they had trouble finding our reservation. My husband had to point it out to them on their iPad. 2. Our server took our order prix fixe order - app, entree and desert. She came back a few minutes later to confirm my husband’s app selection. 3. Our apps came out timely and tasted good. Then, issues sprung up! We had to wait 40 minutes for our entrees. We asked 3x about where they were watching other tables get served their full three courses in that time. The server was quasi-apologetic but didn’t do much to fix the issue. 4. My husband ordered 2 diet cokes. The first was in a large mug the second was in a slender glass. 5. The busboy dropped cutlery on my husband and spilled tomato sauce (from his app) on my husband’s dress shirt. Then proceeded to leave the dirty cutlery there and never replace it. 6. My husbands desert looked like a mess. The ice cream on the meh tasting cheesecake had fallen off. 7. They gave us complimentary champagne but it was terrible. It tasted like vinegar. After all that, they automatically added their gratuity and gave us a haphazard “Hope you enjoyed your meal.” We tried to but this place made it near impossible.

    Nice setting and great service. We all enjoyed the food and drinks. I had the BUTTERFLY MARTINI and my husband had the Godfather, which has a fun presentation. We ordered the calamari, pepperoni pizza, ribeye, lamb chops and chicken parmigiana. All were delish. For dessert they surprised us with TIRAMISU and ZEPPOLE with candles. I absolutely recommend Valdari for delicious food and great service.
