Great experience. Ordered the Ravioli and it was delicious. Service was fast, but not rushed. Drinks were mixed well at a decent price. I appreciate the hospitality and corner table made the whole dinner feel intimate tucked away. Would definitely recommend!

The food was excellent especially for a valentine’s menu. And our server Monica was awesome. She was friendly and attentive and kept checking on us even though it was busy. That’s how all waitress’s should be. The desert was really good too

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner on Valentine's Day. We were seated at our favorite booth in the main dining room. My wife selected Prime Rib, and I had the halibut substituting mashed potatoes for the rice. We began eating at this restaurant when it opened and have enjoyed many wonderful dinners by ourselves with guests. We even hosted a large wedding reception for one of our daughters. The staff keeps this restaurant organized and running perfectly. The wait staff is always helpful and willing to do what is needed to make it a memorable dining event. These days there are painfully few restaurants that are able to consistently deliver a superb dining experience. Fortunately, the Summit House is one that can and does.

We visited Bruno's restaurant on 2/14/25, prior to attending a show at the Civic Center. Our reservation was made weeks in advance and Bruno's and a show was our Valentine's Day plan for the evening. There was a line out the door upon our arrival. We were greeted by Stephanie at the hostess station, were served drinks at the bar by Aaron and served dinner by varying staff, and attended to by Sophia. Sophia provided us with top notch service from start to finish. Ron and I dined on Fritto Misto, Lobster Ravioli, Short ribs with homemade pasta, Tiramisu and bread with balsamic vinegar, peppers and olive oil. That was the best bread we have had and all of the food and wine we consumed was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our evening at Bruno's a wonderful one. Dawne and Ron
