A Memorable Valentine’s Dinner Experience – 5 Stars Our Valentine’s Day dinner started off rocky, with a 45-minute delay that had us initially questioning the evening ahead. However, the professionalism and poise of the staff quickly turned things around, led by the exceptional hostess, Gianna. Her calm demeanor, thorough explanations regarding the Winter Wonderland Igloo seating delay, and ability to ease frustrations transformed what could have been a disappointing start into a positive experience. Inside, the ambiance was spectacular, thanks to the live piano, drummer, and a singer whose inspiring vocals filled the room. This musical trio set a romantic and elegant tone for the evening, creating an atmosphere that immediately lifted our spirits. Once seated, Daniel, our server, truly stole the show. His impeccable service and friendly demeanor helped reignite our excitement for the night. The food itself was a masterpiece—steaks cooked to perfection, seasoned expertly, and presented with artistry by the talented Trell. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant’s culinary excellence. Even the manager, Trent, went above and beyond, personally ensuring our experience met the highest standards. His leadership and genuine concern for guests were evident and greatly appreciated. The valet service, bussing crew, and everyone involved delivered outstanding service, rounding out the evening beautifully. A special shoutout to Becca staff, whose bespoke service continues to set this establishment apart. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction are why we continue to return time and again. Despite the rocky start, the professionalism, warmth, and skill of the entire team made this a Valentine’s Day to remember. Five stars all the way—thank you for creating such a magical experience!

On our pre valentines day dinner our four dinners drove 1:45 minutes to our go to special occasion, Aldos. We were 20 minutes early but immediately greeted and seated, and server reached the table within a minute. We were offered beverage choices and appetizers which arrived quickly and provided with menus and info on specials. Sabrina was a personable, knowlegeable, well trained and eager server who represents the high values of the restaurant. Everything was delivered to the table timely, hot , well prepared and presented. Salmon, veal and veal parmigian were all excellent and focacia bread and mussels were great accompaniments. The meal concluded with apple pie, peach cobbler and creme brulee. Our experiences at Aldos over 20 years have always been good to outstanding but this experience was the BEST ever. Thank you for a total dining experience and look forward to next visit.

It was a great evening. At 5:00 on a Thursday it was packed. This was our first time there so seeing a packed restaurant this early was a good sign. The food, service, and ambience were extra special. Thanks!!!

This was my first visit to Orion’s and it was spectacular. My wife and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary there and the staff and the food were excellent. The view and the atmosphere really made the evening special.

We arrived a little early for our reservation and were greeted promptly. Had to wait a short time before we were seated, which gave us time to walk around the lobby area. Devon was the perfect waiter; personable, friendly and was very attentive to our needs and questions. I would request him if he is working. The food was excellent. The chef in the restaurant knows how to cook food perfectly. My wife's scallop special was great. The scallops were seared to perfection; not mushy or dry. I had the surf and turf with pecan crusted pork chop and pistachio crusted grouper. These are on the regular menu, and I would highly recommend this dish. Again, both were cooked to perfection. A must is the salted caramel creme brulee. All in all, a great pre-Valentine's dinner. Thank you.
