    We thoroughly enjoyed the stellar service, and delicious food and wine. Server Elizabeth and her supporting staff were there for us the entire evening. Elizabeth also was very helpful with food and dessert recommendations.

    Great experience at Intermezzo. Staff was very accommodating over a few dietary restrictions and the food was delicious. Shrimp pasta was excellent as was the Filet Mignon with pepper cream sauce. We will be back again. Definitely recommend.

    Kitchen couldn’t keep up. Took 30 minutes to get our salads, which were good. Told the server to cancel one entree. The other entree was a pizza delivered cold with an undercooked crust. Second bad experience, so we won’t return.

    Really a wonderful night at Intermezzo. Celebrating Christmas early with friends. The place was packed with people! Our food was delicious. Steaks, salmon, oysters, shrimp pasta, all really good! The place can get very busy due to its popularity. We can understand why! Highly recommend Intermezzo.

    Went just to the bar area for happy hour. Tried to sit at the table by the fire, but we were told that that was not available due to reservations. We were there for an hour and a half and no one sat at that table. Just a bit disappointing. I had a lovely time though And the drinks and food were lovely.

    eating on the patio is lovely, romantic fine. we love the cask burgers and the banana split. service was ok, usually better but they had a private party i believe was taking away from service.

    An amazing experience, the service, the waiting time for the food was very short, I can tell that it was a pleasant experience. My daughter complemented the chef’s mashed sweet potato and he sent her a Togo bowl 🤩
