    We LOVE eating here. We've eaten too many times to count. Typically we eat here 2-3 times during our stay on island. It never disappoints. We've enjoyed Juan, our waiter and have asked to be seated in his section several times.

    Wonderful evening shared with my wife as Michael Anthony's rolled back prices on their top menu items. The food, service and ambience were terrific!

    Always awesome! Food, drinks, service always at its best. THE BEST bolognese sauce! We’re locals and since it’s opening 23 years ago, it’s always been excellent. The ONLY thing I don’t like is the switching of olive oil to a tomato sauce for the bread. I know olive oil has gone up in price, but really….?

    Food and service were great. We have dinner here 4-5 times a year and it’s consistently top-notch. Going back on Valentine’s Day.

    We participated in 23 for $23. All meals were excellent. Must give the person who called after we left that we invertly picked up a bag of leftovers that turned out to not be ours. They called to let us know that it contained shell fish since they knew my wife had an allergy. Ours was still available, if we wanted to return.
