    Honestly this place used to be one of my favorite spots to go to. But it seems like the menu is smaller and it’s gone downhill. We won’t be returning. Came here for my daughter’s birthday, put that in the notes and nothing was done we were rushed out. And there were screaming babies in the dining room so bad giving me a migraine. Never again.

    Nice place (aesthetically) but we were disappointed both in the menu options and the entrees we selected. Not bad - just not GREAT.

    Food was amazing and staff was very accommodating! You get what you pay for, service was very quick even during a time where the venue was noticeably busy, outside seating is more intimate, whereas inside has a more traditional restaurant vibe, although there are more intimate tables available if booked sufficiently in advance

    Thank you for your glowing review, Kamryn! We love to hear that you enjoyed the cuisine and hospitality during your visit to Mulino. Our team appreciates your kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable evening soon!
