    Had a phenomenal meal at Onesto. Started with the Burrata. I had the lobster mezzaluna and the hubby had the bolognese. Ended with the flourless chocolate cake. Loved everything. Service was great as well. Quick and efficient without feeling rushed.

    The food was excellent. I had a salmon dish with orzo, and I highly recommend it. The cheesecake was unlike any I've ever had before.

    We really enjoyed our meal! The hostess overheard me commenting about my sister’s birthday and they put a card on the table so she would get a complimentary dessert. Fun! And the flourless chocolate cake was delicious! The menu was small, which shows they take care to provide seasonal options. I had the short rib, which was very tender and my sister had the meatballs and pasta, which she loved. They have non-alcoholic drink options, which was nice, as my sister doesn’t drink. She could still feel festive! The waitress was attentive, but not intrusive. A very pleasant evening!

    Lisa, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you both enjoyed your meal and that we could make your sister’s birthday celebration extra special with a card and complimentary dessert. We’re glad the short rib, meatballs and pasta, and flourless chocolate cake all hit the mark. It’s also wonderful to know that the non-alcoholic drink options helped make your sister feel festive. We appreciate your kind words about the service and are so happy to hear it was a pleasant evening. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon!

    Confused experience. Super slow service at lunch on a monday seemed under staffed up front. Ordered items came out of kitchen out of sequence. I think staffing shortage was worst problem throughout.
    OnestoResponded 5 days ago
    David, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We strive for efficient service, and it’s concerning that the timing of your meal didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, the winter months brings on cold and flu season, and we sometimes experience call-ins. We apologize that our staffing levels impacted your experience. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the high-quality service you expect.

    The Assistant Manager was extremely rude when we asked very nicely to move to another table due to a fan vent blowing in our face. It just made for an awkward rest of the night. Felt like we were not wanted. He told us to move to the bar. No one helped us move anything from our table. The food was good and waitstaff and bartenders were great.
    OnestoResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Ashley, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the food and had a positive experience with our waitstaff and bartenders. However, we’re truly sorry that your interaction with our Assistant Manager was not up to the standard you should expect. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable during your visit, and we apologize for any discomfort caused. We appreciate your constructive comments and will address this with our team to ensure better service and attentiveness in the future. We hope you’ll give us another chance to welcome you back and provide you with a more enjoyable experience. I will message you separately with my contact information so that we can discuss further. Best, April GM Onesto

    Great food and service but they have greatly increased their wine prices. The cheapest bottle they have is $60.00 which is disproportionate to their food prices and doubled our bill.
    OnestoResponded on January 20, 2025
    Megan, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service. We understand your concern regarding the wine pricing. We strive to match the quality of our food with wines that complement the dining experience, and unfortunately, factors like import taxes, increased natural disasters, and extreme weather have led to significant price increases across the wine industry. While we aim to provide a great value, we recognize that the rise in wine prices has an affect your overall experience, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We are committed to working with our vendors to bring in the best products at the best price. We hope to welcome you back soon.
