    Phenomenal restaurant for a special occasion. Their cocktails are handcrafted, seasonal and on the strongside. For the first round we opted for their Mai tai made with aged rum. It’s $45 but pretty amazing! The lobster bisque is truly the best soup I’ve ever had. For the main entree the wife and I shared their Chateaubrand (20 oz. Filet Mignon, cut and served table side) and it was also the best filet I’ve ever had. We finished off our meal with an old fashioned and a large vanilla soufflés with grand marnier. Our soufflé was slightly over cooked however I won’t hold it against them as I’ve had it before here and it was perfect (accidents happen). Last but not least our server Jocelyn provided excellent service and we appreciated her attentiveness and suggestions. If you have a special day coming up or just a fan of the finer things in life, I highly suggest visiting the cellar!

    A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the City - Bruno’s Italian Restaurant If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine paired with exceptional service, look no further than Bruno’s Italian Restaurant. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warmth and the delightful aromas of fresh herbs, garlic, and simmering sauces. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel like family. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with rustic decor that gives it an old-world charm. Whether you’re coming for a romantic dinner or a family gathering, Bruno’s has a welcoming vibe that sets the perfect mood for any occasion. But let’s talk about the food. Absolutely exceptional. The menu offers a fantastic selection of classic Italian dishes, all made with the freshest ingredients and prepared with care. I highly recommend starting with their bruschetta, a burst of flavor that’s both fresh and satisfying. Service is always impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and they’re always happy to recommend wine pairings or dishes based on your preferences. The passion they have for both the food and the restaurant is evident in every aspect of the experience. Bruno’s Italian Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots in the city. It’s a place where you can enjoy an authentic Italian meal, a glass of wine, and feel like you’re part of something special. Highly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly memorable Italian dining experience.

    The Summit House is one of our favorite restaurants. It's a great place to go for celebrations and/or just a nice dinner out. However, Christmas at the Summit House is even more special. The amazing meal, holiday decorations along with the carolers made our dinner so memorable. To top it all off, our server, Jennifer, was spectacular!
