    We had a wonderful dinner at Delfina Restaurant last night. We ordered a lot of items and loved every one of them (except the gelato which seemed a bit freezer burned... but the pavlova made up for it!). The whole fish, the ragu, all of the sides (chard, Brussels sprouts, etc.), the pizza, etc. Everything had the best of ingredients and unusual (and very tasty) preparations. The service was attentive and friendly... overall, it was a great experience. We'll absolutely return.

    Food and service were great as always but I found the thrasher/punk music last night totally detractive from the experience. Please play music that doesn’t make me want to bang my head against the wall and leave.

    We were running late due to traffic for my wife's birthday dinner before heading to the theater. We also had an additional member in our party. The service was outstanding and understanding our limitations. We had to rush through but the food was spectacular, very tasty and a lot or depth of flavor. A lot of contemporary and delicious innovations on traditional Italian. Will definitely be back again and could not recommend more highly.

    Delfina has not lost any of its luster. The food was outstanding and the wines were wonderful. Just an all around awesome dinner. Been going there for 25y and it’s still as good as it was in the beginning

    The server was friendly and professional but overwhelmed and not attentive. It appeared to be a timing issue with how the dining room was seated for service.

    I was having dinner (we had a reservation at 5:30pm) with a friend and we had finished supper, we were still not finished with conversation at our table and drinking and water. A Caucasian male wearing a cardigan or long sleeve with what I believe to be silver or gray looking (maybe dirty blonde?) hair walked right up to our table and rudely grabbed the glass water bottle without asking and put it in the back of the kitchen area. Didn’t ask if we were done, didn’t thank us for our business, didn’t acknowledge we even existed. I didn’t want to address this at the restaurant because it was a joint birthday (for myself and my best friend) but it isn’t sitting well with me and figured I’d let you know either way. Not sure who this person is but clearly, didn’t leave a lasting favorable impression for me or my friend. The rest of the waitstaff was nice and cordial. This was our first time at Delfina and unfortunately our last.

    Amazing food and wine list. Interesting selections both on the menu and wine list. Fantastic service and the vibe was wonderful. Pavlova dessert was incredible!
