    Our visit here was very enjoyable. Food was hot and tasty. Really liked the dimmed environment in the back of the restaurant. Rio was amazing at his job and entertained all of us for an unforgettable dinner.

    Decided to stop in and get a drink today, staff was so friendly. I wanted to warm up from the snow and the bartender made me a Spanish coffee which was great. Also was greeted by a pleasant smell, pristine restaurant and I love stopping by here.

    We've been going to 220 for well over 5 years now. First time today, food felt meh..(truffle fries were refried, distasteful). Seating area felt dirty (marks on mirrors, booth had food crumbs, table had fingerprints). Lastly, we went for 40th birthday celebration which i specified while booking, however, no wish, nothing. Anyways, we left without eating dessert or even completely finishing dinner. Decided to eat dessert at nearby chocomania instead.

    I had a good experience, service was great however there was hair on my food as I was eating so that was a bit disappointing and disturbing.
