    An old favorite, we go there for nostalgia occasionally. Would not describe it as super innovative, but it's a classic, always reliably good. Service and ambiance also always good, especially Javier, who is extraordinary, and has become a friend!

    Their minestrone soup was weak and tasted like it could easily have come from a can. Waiter did not offer Parmesan cheese for it until asked, which did help give it some flavor. Pear salad was so-so. Was expecting thinly sliced fresh pears in it but pears had been cooked…and did not have much flavor. My friends got a salad that was a special of the day. She seemed pretty pleased with it. It was a birthday celebration. The waiter was not attentive and very slow. We had wanted to order a dessert to celebrate, but the service and then getting a dessert menu took so long that we just wanted to get out of there. It took almost an hour and a half to get the soup and 2 salads. Hadn’t been to Il Fornaio for a long time…and it will be another very long time before we go back. Very disappointing!

    I went to the restaurant days before my reservation to confirm we could get a specific small quiet room for a dinner birthday party of 8 people. When we arrived, the manager ignored my request and gave us a noisy table in the middle of the restaurant. The wait staff was not very attentive. I brought in a $300 gift certificate they would not honor. Not what i expected for $500.

    Service was hurried and inattentive…the server was never there and when he showed up, he wanted to leave. I’ve eaten there many times but lately everyone is going through the motions….

    Don't usually leave reviews, but feel like it's necessary in this case. Positives - server was pleasant. The negatives - main room was cold because they had expanded the restaurant for additional seating without adequate heating, server didn't arrive for a while, didn't bring water well into the meal and only after being asked, when asked to bring separate plates to share a prime rib, brought tiny plates, bread to the table has to be asked and not free, and most importantly the steak was very rare when asked for medium. They ended up comping the steak, so 1 star up for that. But my goodness, this is a subpar restaurant. Looks very nice from the outside, but the inside service/food is 2/4 equivalent. So, if you set your expectations right, it'll be a good experience, but don't go in expecting a 3/4 experience.
