    Volare has always been excellent experience for me. The manager, and there may be more than one, that I always see there is a fantastic gentleman. A tall gentleman with short hair and glasses always in a suit. He does a phenomenal job of taking care of guest - whether they are regulars or first-time visitors. The ambience is outstanding. The menu is extensive, as are the nightly specials. The dessert menu has so many options. It's the size of a regular menu board. There's certainly has to be something for everyone. For those who don't drink alcohol, they have several mocktails available. From the free valet service, to the opportunity to check your coat into a coat locker and the very nice touch of having your leftovers remain at the reception area until you're ready to leave, Volare seems to have thought of everything. Our waitress was Danielle. She could not have been better. She was perfect!

    Valentine dinner was a great experience. The staff was very kind and attentive to us. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great. She had the fried chicken with skillet potatoes and gritz and I had the NY strip and asparagus. We would recommend and will be returning.
