    Our experience was great. Our waiter was very helpful with recommendations of wine and food. The staff was super attentive to us and our table, clearing plates shortly after dishes were finished.

    We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with our party of 7. The service started out poorly at first, once we were seated. We were left without our waitress coming by for 5-10 minutes. We then asked a server to please find her. Once she made contact with us, the service greatly improved. The food, drinks and holiday decor were all exceptional. We ended up enjoying a relaxing 3 hour dinner of appetizers, salads, main entrees and desserts there. It was a warm and memorable experience.

    We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We were celebrating my 8 year old’s birthday and our waitress was amazing! So attentive and sweet and extra attention paid to the birthday girl. The food was delicious as always and the Christmas decorations added to the beautiful ambience.

    This was our one year anniversary dinner. The food was great as well as the service. My only complaint is the prices. Prices for pasta shouldn’t be over $20 a plate. Overall, the experience was great. On a plus we were given a free dessert for our special day. Very thoughtful by Il Fornaio
