    The service and food was good however we sat in the bar area The music was so loud that we had to ask to lower the volume. The people at the bar were really loud and energetic which is great for the bar patrons but not for us who wanted to enjoy our meal at have some conversation. This is the third time that they sat us there even though it looked like they had had empty tables in the restaurant area. This is why we have not been there for a while and I don’t think we are going back

    I absolutely love the shrimp and crab cake appetizer. Always get it and it never disappoints. I would also recommend the Halibut. It is usually a special but delicious. I have introduced many friends to the restaurant and they also agree the food is outstanding, Staff is also friendly and very efficient.

    Food and service was exceptional. My only complaint was the price of my drink at the bar. $25 for a single pour of Reposado Tequila seems excessive and the pour was not very generous.

    The process of making reservations to the restaurant service and food was great. The food was excellent along with the service and no pressure to leave the table when we were done and chatting.

    Went on a cold Thursday night. Restaurant was not crowded. Usually very good food, but tonight was exceptional. Had tuna appetizer and pork chop, while my wife had two appetizers, the fig salad and the lasagna bolognese. Which I will be finishing for lunch today. Bravo, Testarossa!
