    Delfina has not lost any of its luster. The food was outstanding and the wines were wonderful. Just an all around awesome dinner. Been going there for 25y and it’s still as good as it was in the beginning

    The server was friendly and professional but overwhelmed and not attentive. It appeared to be a timing issue with how the dining room was seated for service.

    I was having dinner (we had a reservation at 5:30pm) with a friend and we had finished supper, we were still not finished with conversation at our table and drinking and water. A Caucasian male wearing a cardigan or long sleeve with what I believe to be silver or gray looking (maybe dirty blonde?) hair walked right up to our table and rudely grabbed the glass water bottle without asking and put it in the back of the kitchen area. Didn’t ask if we were done, didn’t thank us for our business, didn’t acknowledge we even existed. I didn’t want to address this at the restaurant because it was a joint birthday (for myself and my best friend) but it isn’t sitting well with me and figured I’d let you know either way. Not sure who this person is but clearly, didn’t leave a lasting favorable impression for me or my friend. The rest of the waitstaff was nice and cordial. This was our first time at Delfina and unfortunately our last.

    Amazing food and wine list. Interesting selections both on the menu and wine list. Fantastic service and the vibe was wonderful. Pavlova dessert was incredible!

    Had a reservation for 7 PM but wasn’t seated until 7:15. Noise level was so high It was hard to talk to the person at my table.  Food was poorly described and average at best.  Ordered a dish described as Petrali sole and got a plate of pasta with a few little pieces of Petrali presumably. We won’t go back.

    We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Delfina. Our server, Angela, was excellent. She was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The food is solid, and the drinks are tasty. I enjoyed a glass of prosecco that was poured generously. The ambiance is lively, and people clearly enjoy themselves. The music is loud, so be prepared. That's the only reason I'm deducting a star. Still, we would return.

    Great food and great service. I see that some folks say it’s on the noisier side but I found it to be easy to talk and totally comfortable.
