    In our three years in the area, we have heard a lot of good things about Region and were excited to finally dine there. Unfortunately our experience was very disappointing and we are unlikely to return. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, but overall service was very slow and not well timed. We started with the Bang Bang Cauliflower which we enjoyed, but didn't think it lived up to the hype we heard prior to our visit. The real disappointment came with our entrees, we both had steaks. My husband's ribeye was almost laughably thin, (think steak and eggs at a diner), and was pretty basic. Despite requesting the jus on the side, it was all over his plate, he didn't want to send the entire plate back for this reason but it was still disappointing. I had the Boursin stuffed filet, which strangely had little Boursin, and was also quite bland. Both entrees came with whipped potatoes, which were probably the highlight of the meal, as well as green beans. The green beans were so overcooked that there was no crunch left in them. We were also served homemade dinner rolls, which were also slightly overbaked. We both felt that we make steaks just as well here at home as what we received at Region, a huge disappointment especially given the price point. Maybe steak just isn't their strength, and other entrees would have been better choices.

    My husband and I went for a birthday dinner. After our order was placed, the server came back to let us know that 3 items in our order were unavailable (2 add-on items and one entree), which was disappointing since it was a special dinner. We have been to this restaurant before and we do like their food, but to run out of items on a Saturday when they are expected to be busy (and we were told the same happened when they had a large group booking earlier in the week), should not happen. Additionally, my husband ordered a steak that was almost burned on one side and relatively uncooked on the other, rendering it inedible. We were surprised, as our previous experiences were not like this. It was just disappointing since this was a special dinner. Aside from the above, the service was great as always. We will likely be back at least one more time because of our good experiences in the past, but if we have the same experience again, we will not be back.

    We’ve always had very good experiences at Region. Our last visit seems to have been a one off miss. I informed the restaurant in advance that we were celebrating a special occasion. Rather than seat us in the main dining room at a table with a tablecloth, we were seated in the noisy bar annex. It was clear that the hostess was not willing to accommodate us in the main dining room. Our waitress was great. My wife ordered the sea bass which was good. I ordered the Jaegerschnitzel. Unfortunately when I bit into the schnitzel, it tasted like a piece of fried fish. It was like eating a fried cod basket at Culvers. I’ve had a lot of schnitzel in my life and I have no idea how the kitchen at Regional achieved this flavor for pork schnitzel. I brought most of it home. Our college aged son came home hungry. I offered him the leftover schnitzel and he immediately remarked “this tastes like fish” and he wouldn’t eat anymore of it. Any doubts I had that maybe it was just me quickly disappeared. I very much like Region but our most recent visit, but for the grace of our server, was a complete disappointment.

    We've never had a bad meal at Region and we've literally worked our way through the whole menu! Great cocktails too and you can't beat the $25 corkage fee. And while it seems every other restaurant has raised their prices significantly, Region's prices are a bargain in comparison!

    The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The crème brûlée was also very tasty.

    We’ve been to Region several times. We had the pasta dish and the spa bowl. The pasta dish was bland and the spa bowl had an odd sauce at the bottom. Bang bang cauliflower was very good per usual though.
