Restaurants near Herbert and Katherine Jacobs Second House

We came to celebrate a birthday and had a great experience last night. We really enjoyed our meal and our service was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

We started our meal with an appetizer special of cheese and Italian sausage arancini fried rice balls with marinara. They were a wonderful way to start our meal, paired with a nice glass of Cooper's Hawk Meritage red wine and an elderberry spritz. We also enjoyed a complimentary serving of pretzel bread that we saved for accompanying our meal. For our main course we both had the Surf and Turf Valentine's Day special. It featured two filet medallions with a winter truffle crust, a blue crab-stuffed lobster tail, roasted broccolini, whipped potatoes, and lemon beurre blanc. Everything was prepared superbly, with the steak being a perfect medium-rare, the lobster very tender, and the broccolini nicely al dente. The mashed potatoes were super smooth, creamy and delicious as well. Despite being quite full, we ordered key lime pie and banoffee (banana-toffee) pie, both made with a graham cracker crust. Both were great, but I would probably order the key lime pie next time instead of the very sweet banoffee. Although it's a 35 minute drive to get to, we now hope to go to Cooper's Hawk on a regular basis!

Excellent staff, extremely helpful and accommodating. Superior service, food is amazing.

We’ve been going to Villa Dolce for a decade. They consistently have fantastic food and wonderful service; they will not disappoint you!

I had a reservation and when I arrived the hostess tried to tell me I didn’t have a reservation. Some of my party got there before me and they were seated indicating my reservation. The background music was too loud. The food was good, but not much of it for the price which I was aware of. Nice time, but not overly impressed.
