    Everything was nice. Good food, pretty restaurant, decent service. Nothing was bad, but….just not amazing. At $30-$50 a plate I expect to be blown away. Again everything was just good.

    All of the entrées, including the chips and salsa were salted to the max  i’ve decided after them bringing me back two dishes that still tasted like salt that I would leave Reto alone for quite a while.

    Beautiful bar, restaurant, and patio. Fireplace in patio creates a warm, cozy setting for private conversation. Sunday brunch with choices of 3 Neverending Drinks is a great option. Attentive friendly service from hostess to waiter. Love this place!

    It was a nice experience but too loud and the table was way too small not comfortable at all. Food was good, drinks were great.

    Great food. Nice restaurant, but so noisy you can’t have conversation without shouting.
