This was my first time at Petunia and it was outstanding! The food was excellent, I ordered the scallops and was not disappointed. I ended up bringing some home they were so delicious. Despite not finishing my dinner I did save room for the pumpkin cake which was definitely something I would go back for! The service was excellent and I can’t wait to try some more of the choices that were on the menu.

Went to try the new menu. Excellent. Filet tip rice balls were so good, as was the MVP. Ceasar salad, always a go to for us. Scallop Genevese was delicious as was the Truffle Alfredo. Had leftovers enough for another meal for each of us. Highly recommend trying their new menu. We will be back.
