    The Feast of the Seven Fishes was a real delight. Nothing like anything else we've ever even seen. Sword fish and tuna carpaccio! I've never heard of such delights, and the octopus salami was absolutely amazing. All the courses were fantastic. The sauce on the mussels I could drink like soup, and the lobster risotto was so creamy and delicious, topped with a perfectly seared pair of the largest sea scallops I've ever seen. This was the most unique and ambitious take on the Seven Fishes meal I've seen. We had a great recommended wine pairing as well, a white Bordeaux. My sincerest compliments to Chef Chris for putting on such a wonderful event.

    We had a party of 6, and most of us had eaten several times at Ivararone's. It was the second time my wife and I had the pleasure. We have eaten at some of the country's best-known steakhouses and restaurants, and I was impressed with the value and quality of the food. But it was the service that was exceptional and really stood out to me. Garrett was our server, and it was an absolute pleasure to have such a professional service in this day and age. He presented himself very well, was polite, and attended to all of our needs quickly and efficiently. The only thing that stopped me from awarding Ivarone's 5 stars across the board was the overall condition of the restaurant. Although it was clean, it seemed dated and needed some renovations to bring it to the next level. Ivararone's is on our short list of local restaurants that we will continue patronizing and recommending to our friends and family. Keep up the good work, and thank you for an enjoyable evening and experience. Charlie Kinnear
