    The ambiance is like a school prom or a fundraising event, which we didn’t expect for a restaurant. Our reservation was at 7pm and when we arrived they didn’t have a table for us. Got seated around 7:30 and our server didn’t come around to take our order until 8. We didnt get bread until we asked for it bc they had “ran out” and was “heating it up” but when we finally got our bread it was cold. Our entrees didn’t come out until 8:55pm for a 7pm reservation. Then when it finally did the steak, which we asked for medium rare, came out well done. The seafood pasta was quite fishy and the pasta was very overcooked as if it had been sitting around after being prepared. The only thing good was the fried calamari appetizer.

    Went for my wife's birthday. Friends told me to go to the Fairgrounds location. Atmosphere was dark, felt like we were at a wedding reception. Steak was very undercooked. And I've never experienced a tough Delmonico before this night. I just took it home and cooked it a little longer. No big deal. French onion soup was good, wedge salad was on point. Goat Cheese Fig crustini was really good. Going to try the best Western location to see if there is a difference . But for $300+ I was really hoping to get a steakhouse experience closer to Turning Stone.

    Food was delicious- particularly the seafood lasagna. Our party also had prime rib, clams with linguine, and chicken parm. All very good. Rolls were nice and soft and tasty. No complaints at all. Our server, Allie, was fantastic. Atmosphere was pretty good, although it got a little loud at times. Would definitely recommend.

    Delicious food, it was a bit loud due to a party on the other side of the room and is the case everywhere, service was a bit slow, but overall a very nice evening

    If you haven’t been definitely worth a trip! Service was top notch and the food was delicious! A personal phone call from the owner thanking us for dining at his establishment was very impressive! Above and beyond!

    We enjoyed a fabulous meal on New Years Eve. The service was great and meal options outstanding. The room was beautifully decorated for the holidays and they also had photo booths with noise makers and party hats, to take New Year's pics with our group; A fun little addition as we waited to be seated. The ambiance at the Pasta and Seafood House is not nearly as intimate as the Steakhouse, as it has a much more open concept that feels more like a banquet hall, which is not surprising knowing of its old Empire Room days. We did however appreciate having a large round table to accomodate 7 of us, rather than a typical banquet table format. All in all, the food was fabulous and prices reasonable for top quality food, particularly seafood. The quantity of food was hefty and we had plenty of leftovers. Thank you to Charlie and his staff for wonderful evening!

    We had a wonderful dining experience on New Year's Eve. The hostess was friendly and seated us at our table. The waitress came within a minute to go over menu. Food was excellent.
