    I was a little disappointed with our visit last night. When we arrived the hostess just pointed to our table instead of walking us over. It was relatively close, but it is not the service that we've come to expect. We weren't asked if we were celebrating anything like normal either. A couple of our meals were sub-par as well, one of my son's ribeye had a lot more fat than my other son's ribeye, and my wife's veal parmesan was a smaller portion than normal with very little pasta under the veal. Due to a "delay" our food took a while to come out. Overall, the experience was underwhelming from what we've come to expect.

    Had a wonderful Sunday brunch with my family. Peter & company took great care of us. Appetizers crabmeat cheesecake, arancini, bread service were amazing. My filet was cooked to perfection, delicious side of sautéed spinach. Hubby had cedar plank drum fish to die for! Can’t wait to return-so delicious!

    My wife and I had dinner with two of our young adult grandchildren who are college graduates and employed. The meal started with charbroiled oysters that were delicious. Entrees included Tuna, Veal, steak and eggplant dishes. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Not our first time here and we’ll be back soon.

    Ruffino’s was delicious from the bread , appetizer, entree’, and dessert. I am not a cotton candy fan so we declined on that. Also the braised pork cheeks were a first try and they were really tender and tasty. Definitely get them a try.

    Very pleasant evening out. Lamb chops were a special and were very good. Nice menu addition. Skin-on trout with raspberry reduction was great. Need some changes to the calamari. Not much taste. Batter fries up hard.
