This was our first time at Seranello’s. It was very good and reasonable. Will go back again. A real highlight though was Michael, the valet. He was very friendly. It was a very cold night. When he drove our car up he had put the seat warmers on. Which I thought was a great touch.

Decided to try this place before the Marriott show. Finding parking was a little rough as there was a lot down about 1/10 of a mile. The food was good; although I had ordered spinach with my meal and the server forgot to enter it, however did not get charged for the item later received. My wife really loved the beet salad and the entrees were of decent portions.

Salad was really good. I ordered what I was told was one of their most popular dishes, meet lasagna. When a deer goes into the woods and they lick on the salt, that was Saranello's meat lasagna. It was a complete and total salt lick not worth anything, ever, at all. Make it yourself or do a Stouffer's...
