I have been to this restaurant several times and it never disappoints. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. Our server, although very busy, was amazing. He truly went out of his way to make sure everything was great. I had the sizzling shrimp appetizer which was very different and made to perfection. My husband had the breaded chicken, and I had the ravioli both of which were excellent. While they had some interesting signature cocktails, it would have been nice, to add some holiday drinks and some old favorites like chocolate martinis. We are locals so having this amazing new and different restaurant is a bonus to our community.

Food was great but not a great table as we were not in a room but rather the hallway, which goes to and from main room and other room. Lively and noisy but SERVICE WAS GREAT! Very attentive staff.

Amazing once again. We've been to Iavarone plenty of times. Yesterday happened to be our anniversary. I didn't even have to say anything and they brought us over a champagne toast. Food is always delicious. And service is on point. From the Hostess stand to the waiters and waitresses. Yohan took care of us. And she was simply amazing!
