    Excellent dinner tonight to celebrate Christmas. Our main server, Jory, was outstanding. So was his teammate - just can't remember her name. The team was both attentive when needed and stayed away when they weren't needed to give us space. Group of 5 - we all had steaks - 3 orders of filet mignon, one bone in filet and a bone in ribeye. Sides and steaks arrived hot - cooked just as everyone wanted. We had a few appetizers - burrata, bacon and carpaccio. Not much room for dessert - except for a soufflé. Outstanding meal - great service and excellent food. Will return after the new year - a lot of interesting items on the menu for us to explore.

    Insignia is by far my favorite restaurant! Tonight we dined with my in-laws. They complicate every dining experience. Our waiter Anthony was kind and patient with them. He was attentive to their requests and needs and made for an amazing experience. They enjoyed themselves as did I. The food was excellent like usual. Wine and cocktails wet the pallet. We started with the calamari which has a delicious miso lime vinaigrette- sooo delicious. In addition, we had the applewood smoked bacon. That was a lovely experience watching it be torched tableside. Our appetizers were comprised of wedge salads, Caesar salad, and tomato and mozzarella. Filet mignon was cooked to my desired temperature, while the mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and mac and cheese added to the richness of our plates. Let us not forget the cheesecake and donuts!! Cappuccino and hot tea to end a deliciously perfect meal! Thank you Anthony for a quality experience!! I’ll be back with friends!!

    I scheduled a reservation for 8pm and ended up coming in a little early. I was seated without any wait despite my arrival being early. The food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, as well as delicious. My only complaint that I do have is that the margaritas that my table ordered were a little too strong for our liking. Aside from that, I definitely will be returning to Mito in the future.
