    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    Amazing experience. It was a busy Valentine’s Day dinner and they still found the time and effort to make us feel valued. Esteban was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The food was delicious! Bone marrow is a must try for anyone going! The oysters were cold and fresh. The veal was soft and perfectly cooked as requested! Thank you Il Mulino for a great dinner!

    This place is awesome in an awesome location. Everything is fresh and authentic. The service is out of this world! The waitress would come over and pour or bottle of wine they even answered any questions we had. The owner came up to our table and greeted us! This place felt homey in an area that has changed so much over the years. I would definitely recommend this for any date night, out with friends or a family outing.

    Cafe Mars was AMAZING. The service was so personal and attentive and kind. The food was BOMB. The pasta with Sunday sauce and breaded trumpet mushrooms were real stand-outs. Best meal and overall dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

    We had a wonderful 5-star experience! Our waiter, Zoran, was terrific and enjoyed his warmth and energy. He gave us a wine recommendation that was perfect and our meal was absolutely delectable. We were visiting our son, who lives in NYC, and he selected Il Giglio for us. We absolutely enjoyed our experience.
