Excellent service, delicious food, and really nice environment.

Awesome experience. Amazing food! Great vibes. very upscale restaurant. We went for lunch and it was a really good experience. I would highly recommend Italian food.

Great place for business meetings Food and service is always good.

Real Italian restaurant, very tasty. The outside of building looks casual, once you go inside it is so nice and kind of classic style.

The dish was excellent. Tomato, garlic, angel hair pasta with chicken breast. The tiramisu is price at $12 and it was worth it.

A very good Italian restaurant, and on top excellent service

The food is great. I love the appetizers, dinner,drinks, and desserts. Very nice atmosphere. I have observed wedding parties and other celebrations held here. The staff are great too. I do not care for the smell of the bathroom,it strongly smells like that 70's perfume Maja, it's a pretty strong smell, but not a deal breaker. I have tried quite a few dishes here,and enjoyed all my food choices. The quality of the food and service are consistent. I enjoy eating here and look forward to my next visit.

Came here for dinner with the besties and it was so yummy! The butternut ravioli was yummy and everyone else said their meals were yummy too! Bread before dinner sooo fresh! Drinks all around and great. 5 stars for the win!!

Great place for a romantic date night, loved the atmosphere and loved that they had a big parking lot so I didn't have to worry about that. The food was delicious and large in portion.

We just got back from three weeks in Italy and this place cured our culinary withdrawal symptoms instantly. Their regular prices aren't nearly as cheap as their happy hour, but you do get what you pay for. This place is as good as anywhere we ate in Italy -- and it's much easier to drive to.

I was impressed with the cozy warm decorations of the restaurant!! The waiter Bill was excellent and attentive to our party of 12. The appetizers were delicious .. The wine list was exceptional.. The food was excellent i definitely be hosting another party at this restaurant.. Thank you everyone who made our BIRTHDAY ladies have excellent BIRTHDAY!!!

It was a really great restaurant. It was maybe 1/2 full when we ate here. Staff was wonderful and helpful. They were very knowledgeable!! They would great regulars which was nice to hear. Food was great! Personal I like my pizza and pasta with just a little more sauce and creamy. But overall great. 9/10!!!

Food was excellent. My wife had the salmon and I had a pasta dish. Both were great. We also had an appetizer and dessert. The Gelato is also very good. Service was also excellent. This has become one of our go to places.

Delicious food, courteous and friendly service, all in an elegant ambiance, the ideal place for a pleasant dinner

Good food . Nice ambience. I love the Rosemary Chicken and as well as other entrees.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere very pleasant. The waiters were very careful. A good Italian reference in California with some traditional dishes, generous pizzas and a beautiful list of Italian wines. I found the price a bit too high but this is maybe just my European perspective as such beautiful restaurants are quite common in Belgium.

Absolutely amazing restaurant with great amenities beautiful atmosphere and amazing Italian food the best I've ever had in a while I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area perfect for date night and any event you may have! Will be coming back on multiple occasions.

From the moment I and we walked into this place the staff was very nice and welcoming. It continued that way all evening. And the food was to match

Very good Italian food! Excellent quality! Formal yet, friendly professional service. Knowledgeable waiters and perfect location! Italian dishes are traditional and big portions. Very well presented on your plate. Classic High End Italian decor and great ambience! Fantastic for business luncheons and company's party! Evening dinning is also very, very good, I highly recommend! Not expensive for the high quality food, excellent service and superb Italian dinning experience and ambiance!

Our go-to place for Italian food, especially if you are looking for an elegant and warm interior. We have yet to have a bad meal here, and the staff are amazing. We love coming to this location and have shared so many special memories here. The easiest parking lot for a restaurant in Manhattan Beach.

I had the Caeser salad and a ravioli dish, along with a few cups of wine and the complimentary bread/oil/vinegar combo. The service was on point, and the atmosphere was exactly like you'd expect for an Italian joint... Dimly lit/intimate/candle lit. the food was fantastic in quality and portion.

Came solo to watch the game at the bar. Had some Coronas, my team won, had a tirimisu and sobered via their excellently chilled water and an afogato vanilla gelato with two shots of espresso. Great solo trip at II Fornaio. Always great!

Classy yet casual Italian restaurant in Manhattan Beach. - Cozy atmosphere - Ample and free parking - Happy Hour deals - Fabulous service

Great, authentic Italian food. The service was excellent as well!

Exceptional menu with a broad range of dishes from which to select. Fabulous chef and wonderful waiters.

We dined here last minute on Easter Sunday & were so glad we could be accommodated. Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere & attentive, friendly service from our waiter David. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Plenty of parking which is ideal. 😀 The service was pleasant and the food was good. The restrooms were clean. I'd return and I'd visit another location at a future time.

Excellent Italian restaurant, I at there with work colleagues at a private dining event. Food is fantastic👍 Service is very good and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed 😎 Well worth a visit, I will happily return the next time I'm in L.A. 👍

This was an amazing experience. We made a late reservation at 3pm and we just so happen to get there 40 minutes early because traffic let up. We walked in and all the staff were welcoming and they wished my mother and I a Happ Mother's Day. We asked if there was any possibility of being seated earlier than our reservation time; with smiles on their faces and a sincere tone they checked their list and the area and said "we absolutely can work something out" not even 10 minutes and we were seated. Alex, our server came over right away and took our beverage order. My sister asked for a wine recommendation and he suggested a delicious pinto grigio. My sister and I ordered a bottle, it was that good. The food was fantastic, I ordered the Costata al pepe; a delicious 8oz filet with a pepper brandy sauce, roasted yukon potatoes, baby carrots and broccolini. The filet was cooked to perfection and the pepper sauce was rich and tangy; it came together beautifully with the sweetness of the carrots and the buttery potatoes. My son got the lobster ravioli in lobster creme sauce and he didn't stop talking about it the whole ride home, which is unusual for a 16yr old boy. This was an amazing dining experience and I would recommend it to everyone. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and accommodating. 10/10 recommend.

Had dinner here with a group of coworkers. Decent food and great atmosphere...

Italian food is amazing and the desserts are delicious

We’ve been to Canaletto in Las Vegas and we were told this restaurant was owned by the same people. We finally went in today and it was absolutely delicious. I had the tagliatelle bolognese — chefs kiss! If they had the gnocchi version of it, I’d be even more ecstatic about this place. We cannot wait to go back again!

I haven't dined here in years, but I had a craving for a great pasta dish. The quality of food and service is always top-notch. The bread is always fresh and fluffy. The atmosphere is always calm and quiet. I love that I can relax and have a great meal to myself.

Went here to get some dinner on a Sunday night, party of 2. Wait time was about 5 minutes. Seated in a cozy private-ish booth near the back. Greeted immediately by Gabriela, amazing service, attentiveness and hospitality. Order the calamari appetizer and lemon veal main course. Flavor and freshness was spot on, didnt even noticed the salt and pepper on the table. Bread with oil and balsamic was rosemary tasty, warm, and crispy crust! Calamari was lightly battered and the spicy marinara with it was smooth with the hint of heat at the end. Veal could be a bit more tender or steak knives could be sharper? either or.... Yukon potatoes were the highlight of the dish with the lemon sauce. Overall, great service and food was fresh as promised. Will be back!

A few years ago I had the wonderful experience to dine at II Fornaio during restaurant week. It was a 5-star dining experience and I vowed to return. This week I treated a colleague/partner to dinner. It was another 5-star experience. Fine dining, great food and wonderful staff. The sea bass is a must-have.

Nikhil Tilak

Had NYE dinner here with my wife. The food was delicious however, the serving size was a little small for the pasta dish my wife ordered (tagliatelle). The service was great and so was the ambiance. We splurged a little and paid about a 100 bucks each for 3 courses and a bottle of wine ( including taxes and tips). Reasonable prices for LA. Would recommend if you're in the mood for a nice Italian meal for special occasions.

Fiona Goravani

It’s the best! For the price point you get a great amount of food! At other places for a similar price point you get much less. Here it feels high quality with great portions for a fair price. Our server Eric was very attentive, and helpful when deciphering the needs of my 5 year old sister. Who ended up getting what has to be the best macaroni and cheese she’s ever had. He was super attentive and very good at his job! Because of him we will be back again and maybe make it our regular spot. Really great service and ambiance! The holiday decorations were done very well too. I think it’s such a cute place and anytime I’ve gone here it’s been great! They have lots of great options no matter your needs.

Noah Packard

Food amazing pasta cooked perfectly al dente flavor spot on! Thank you Tim for the awesome service and tasty cocktails! Celia was also amazing will definitely come back again!

Brent P

A client took my wife and I to dinner here when we were passing through for one evening. The atmosphere was very nice. Staff was friendly and the food was really good, but it is pricey. We happened to go at a time when it wasn't very busy, which was nice.

Garrison Moratto

A wonderful Italian restaurant. The bread is delicious; the pasta is to die for. And who can resist gelato…

The Baseline

The Baseline: For an Italian sit down restaurant the food must use of prime Italian ingredients (garlic, tomatoes, cheese, basil), preparation of sauces and al dente pasta, the meal portion size must leave me feeling full, and the service needs me feeling like I am part of the family. Food: The pasta was al dente and well sauced. The sauces were tasty and well bodied and clung to the pasta well. The calamari was crisp and hot with a nice marinara dipping sauce. The cocktails were effervescent and took the edge off. Overall it is a good Italian meal. Service: Had a bit of a rough start waiting for water, but it ended up being good service. Water glasses were kept full after getting them and the used plates were taken care of quickly. Ambiance: This is a great, large Italian themed restaurant. Really good for large groups and the decor fits the theme of a Mediterranean Italian home with high ceilings and open concept dining area.

I love this place! Very intimate setting. Really provides an Italian ambiance, from the music, to the architecture of the restaurant, the food, the service, the color scheme. I highly recommend. The food is very delicious, I had a light salad because I get full fast, however the Salmon was very tasty.

Had a great time with family to celebrate birthday. Entrees & service far exceeds our expectations! Ambience totally the best in the South Bay Area. Specialty Eggplant appetizer & Lamb Chops, LINGUINE MARE CHIARO, and SALMONE ALLA GRIGLIA entrees are the best; prepared with care & excellence! Kudos to the chefs & service crew!

We have been in this restaurant a couple of times, and we have some mixed feelings about it. At first we did not really like it, but from the second try, it was a lot better. We were practically the only visitors, and the personnel was very welcoming. The food was also a lot more delicious. Overall, it is a worthy place to visit.

Came for my grandma's memorial service reception. We had reserved the whole back patio for ourselves. You can hear the cars from the street but they played music on their speakers so it wasnt too bad. It was nicely decorated and looked beautiful. The service was excellent and the drinks were nice and strong. My favorite foods were the calamari, veggie pizza, pasta, and chocolate cake!

The ONLY thing that disappointed us was the Cavolfiori. Bruschetta, Ravioli, Risotto and the wine pairings were really good. The staff is great!!

Good service and excellent food!

I went here for my anniversary. The service was excellent. They were always near for service. The atmosphere is beautiful; however, the food was ok.. I didn't really like my chicken breast . This place is probably good for wine and hanging out for occasions but not for food.

Food was amazing! I would have given it 5 stars but the service was basic nothing bad just not great.

My 1st selection was the Lamb Chops, The Lamb was tough I Changed to The Salmon, It was Delicious, Moist & The Desserts Were Scrumptious Overall It Was (10 out of 10). The Servers Were Very Attentive & Explained The Menu. Customer Service (10 out of 10).

Went here for work sponsored dinner. Everything was solid but nothing was amazing. The panna cotta was perhaps the best thing I had that night.

This place is really beautiful, I loved the restaurants atmosphere, Perfect for a date night setting, All of our food was delicious, Will definitely be returning.

Celebrating a friend’s birthday, it’s the routine schedule, good service, good food.

Easter brunch was amazing. The waffle was to die for! My omelette was loaded with salmon.

The Osso Bucco was delicious, but they use to serve it with a risotto now they use mash potatoes and instead of veal they used pork, with no bone marrow to dig into. The minestrone soup warm and fresh on a cold night. The rigatoni vodka pasta delicious. I hope they return to serving Osso Bucco with veal and on risotto. The tiramisu was delicious and would buy again. $100.32 for the meal.

Consistently average quality and some vegetarian options. Pasta dishes are reasonable. Minestrone soup is good and the salads are excellent . Italian wine selections are good

Bill Lin

Il Fornaio is for sure a luxury place to dine, love how spacious it is, while they still have the Italian details in both their environment and food. Let's start from their Caesar Salad 🥗, the lemon taste of the sauce lighten up the entire dish, the bread crunches is the highlight. The blueberry sauce of fillet mignon, gives you the Italian dessert type of delicacy, the only thing I will make a suggestion is that if they can take out the ginger from the sauce, will be perfect.

We used to go to Il Fornaio in Pasadena all the time before it sadly closed down after the pandemic. We’ve always loved their food—especially the pizzas—so we were excited to find out the Manhattan Beach location is still going strong. After visiting our daughter nearby, we stopped by for a bite and were so happy to see the familiar menu with all our favorites still there. We ordered the Pizza Fradiavola and calamari. That pizza? Next level. The crust was perfect, and the toppings had just the right amount of kick—way better than anything we’ve had from CKP. The calamari was solid too—crispy outside, tender inside. Great spot, great food, just like we remembered.

Odette Cook

Went for my friend's and I birthday dinner, we had plenty food to try but I ended up liking a slim picking of it. The highlight of our night was ordering a bottle of wine, liking it so much and going right after to to Total Wine to purchase it lol.. Service was amazing and the table bread was really good. When I go back, I know exactly what I want to order, the rigatoni alla vodka... My friend enjoyed the seafood plate. Food 3/5 for me but with going back..

Very nice place to bring a date or family. Prices reflect the elegance, service is alright. Waiter was cool but the guy cleaning up the table is rough around the edges and needs to work on his manners. My portion was a little small, seared scallops & prawns (forgot the Italian name), seafood was a little salty. Overall a nice place if you want to impress someone bring them here.

Rob & Raiden

So my girl & I went there on a "spur of a moment thing" when she got back from Colorado the atmosphere was nice, it was a late lunch for us so it wasn't crowded yet i had steak...yes rib eye steak at a Italian restaurant, it was cooked perfectly portion was a nice size the asparagus cooked & seasoned even better(my favorite) but the steak just needed a little more flavor in my opinion, my girl thought opposite, we different palate's, she enjoyed a pasta dish (unfortunately i can't remember the name) also had cocktails that were pretty good if your from Italy (little bitter for my taste) dessert was awesome...this is a "come again" place for us to try other items.

It was my first time and we went to celebrate one of my girlfriends birthday. We had a group of group of 7. I like the atmosphere a lot. The decor is very inviting and a calamari plate was just absolutely amazing. But the over all service is very poor. We said three times hi to the person how brought us bread and he ignored us. The young lady who served our tables was very unfriendly and cold. Service is important to me and i am not sure if I want to recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Ok dinner but would choose somewhere else in the future. We booked for our anniversary dinner after wanting to dine here for a while now. We were seated when we arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation which was a plus. Drinks came in a timely manner and were generous on the double pour. We ordered the arancini as an appetizer and they were disappointing still cold inside. My husband ordered the short rib ravioli and it tasted ok but nothing memorable. I had the tagliatelle bolognese which came out hot but also nothing to write home about. I did appreciate they acknowledged our special day with a comp-ed dessert but we also grabbed something else to take home since it was a whipped cream/strawberry/gelato parfait. All in all disappointed for what we ended up paying (+$200 for two of us) and definitely think we could have a better dining and food experience somewhere else.

It was our first time at I’ll fornaio, and most likely the last one. The service and the atmosphere were great, but the food was bland. I ordered risotto and it had no taste, my boyfriend ordered chicken same story. We had pizza which was okay, nothing special. The price is too high for what you get. Anyway we still had a nice time, but the food disappointed me.

I have been to other Il Fornaio locations and this is the only one where my food, the Mediterranean bass was just okay. The service acted irritated with substitutions. We had about a party of eight and many of the people ordered the chicken parmesan and felt it was weird that it came with mashed potatoes instead of pasta. Every other time I've been, I've had such great food and service. This was an exception. Atmosphere was great but all else was meh at best.

My husband and I had dinner here with some friends last evening. I had the Regina salad and my husband had the Caesar salad. Both had fresh ingredients but were tasteless. My pasta with salmon was good but my husband had a steak which was nearly impossible to eat. It was very tough and full of gristle. He did not send it back since we were with friends and it would have taken quite a bit of time to reorder. Also, the bread which used to be free is $2 for 4 small slices

Slow service during happy hour at the bar. Food was ok. They also charge a 3% inflation fee.

Great atmosphere and great service, so it’s pretty disappointing when the food is not. I had the lasagna and the ground beef in the meat sauce was overcooked, lacked in depth of flavor and overall reminded me of stouffers microwave dinners. My partner had pizza and while the crust was okay flavor was seriously lacking. The meals taste more like they should be priced $8 dollars lower, and don’t seem to match the atmosphere. Pretty disappointed in the food, I was really expecting so much better.

First visit here. The food was okay but lacked seasoning for my taste buds. I was disappointed that they did not have any non-alcoholic cocktails. The wait staff was very nice and friendly though.

We are always looking to find a new spot to try and this was the place we went with. Was a nice spot to dine in at. My pasta was good, staff was friendly and attentive. Wasn't really worth the price of what was ordered but overall it was a nice time out.

+2

Three of our seven at the table reported the food had no flavor. I had the chicken parmesan which was void of flavor.

Very nice restaurant but no vegan options :/ I ordered an artichoke but there were no vegan sauce, the waitress said yes but when I received the order they told me they didn’t have any sauce for me and on top of that the artichoke was not well cooked. A little disappointed with this beautiful restaurant, the place looks nice and despite the problem with food the waitress was very nice. They have a nice wine list and great drinks.

The food and the overall look of this restaurant is good, but the service is terrible. The hostess and wait staff are not attentive and not friendly. They give you the impression they'd rather be anywhere else.

CHINESE CRESTED

In my opinion, the meal was highly salted, the chicken was overcooked, and the spagetti was aldenti. I was surprised at the lax in service for the price. A 3% "Service charge" is something unexpected and, in my opinion, based on the service rendered, unwarranted. Not that I'd eat at the olive garden ever again, but years back, when the olive garden was popular, the food and service was better. I would not make this establishment my first choice for italian food.

Siham Koury

Great customer service. Friendly. One last thing was disappointing: their desert: cranberry orange sorbet was just colored ice... we were chocked. Please do better with this desert.

Green Sea Shells Mag: Wellness by KK

Il Fornaio in Manhattan Beach, part of a global chain renowned for its authentic Italian cuisine, offers a variety of dining experiences and unique private spaces like the East Loggia and Sala del Vino. While it’s known for fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and regional specialties, my recent visit left me underwhelmed. The vegetarian options, including pasta and minestrone soup, were fine but not exceptional. The pasta sauce lacked depth, though a side of pesto improved the flavor. The soup was under-salted but easily fixed, and the bread and olive oil were satisfying. The ambiance was lively, with an open kitchen that created a bustling atmosphere, though it didn’t feel intimate or particularly special for a date night. However, it’s conveniently located with easy parking and could be a great spot for hosting large groups in their well-designed party rooms. While Il Fornaio has its charm and remains a favorite for many (as reflected in its generally high reviews), my experience didn’t match the hype. Perhaps exploring their seasonal menus or signature wine pairings could reveal the true essence of what they’re celebrated for. Would I return? For a special group event, yes, but for a personal dining experience, there are other options I’d prefer in town.

Super disappointed. Service - our waitress didn't show up to take our orders for at least 20 minutes if not more. She never told us her name. After bringing us our food she never game by to ask how it was or ask if we wanted another drink. We had to flag down another member of the staff to get her so we would order more drinks. Food - both my and my friends pasta dishes ( pomodoro and Bolognese) were super bland. Dessert was not good either ( tiramisu and bread pudding). Really disappointing with all the high reviews. I'm really easy to please but for the price I really hoped for better. Drinks - my rum punch kinda drink was tasty!

The food wah just meh for me. The bread was so-so. The pasta (fusilli with tomato and burrata) was not very tasty. The pasta was too aldente, borderline undercooked. Flavor was not there. The burrata was good. Overall, the food was disappointing to me. We were a party of 8 but they won't split the bill for us. They said they can take a maximum if 4 cards. That was very inconvenient. Service was a little slow. Although the ambiance was nice, I don't think it's enough for me to go back to this restaurant.

Service was VERY SLOW. Quality of food has deteriorated (and I have been going there for over thirty years) - this last visit my Chicken Funghi was overcooked, one of the Lamb dishes had to be returned for same reason. They now charge for . paid for bread before - maybe that is why they have slow service. Finally, we were a group of about sixteen - and they would not accept credit cards from more than four people per table. I will not go back again and cannot recommend it.

I've dined here twice and was disappointed both times. Food and service were just okay. We had a group of 10 and after waiting an hour for our meal we complained and they brought it out right away, but it looked and felt like it had been sitting under the warmers for way too long. Some said their food was too salty, others too bland. Overall, not a great experience and I definitely won't be back.

It failed the refill test.I only asked for 1 drink and it was just sparkling water. Never got it. I spent 700 USD and it failed a simple refill test and while every one got their expensive alcoholic drinks, I never got my sparking water. We the restaurant wasn't even full. There were several waiters but we only ever got the one and he was good and full of pep. It tries to to upscale but if you fail a simple refill (aka refill a glass of water). The refill test is simple Applesbees did a better job at the refill test. This place is not for me and that's ok. It was nice to try it out but I was just at Bucca De Peppo and spend the same amount and got better service. For the cost of the ravioli I could get a combination meal at daikoyuya with a beer. And still get better service, and I can leave full.

how disappointing, first bar tender Tim no personality, very unfriendly. the happy hour drinks no alcohol, stuck to the wine, dinner was so disappointing Scaloppine Al Limone was overcooked cooked and tough. why the spinach on same plate getting sauce all over. my server David very friendly, didn't refill water and wasn't offered more bread. the bread was delicious. waste of $175....too bad so sad

This decor is lovely, open, and airy. Very nice ambience and great service, however, the food on the other hand was lacking flavor and in need of a few extra boosts. I ordered the seafood linguini and the seafood was cooked well, but I found the dish to be a bit bland and boring. After a fresh squeezed lemon, a side of pink cream sauce, some salt to taste, and freshly grated parmesan I felt my dish was much better. For $30 a plate you should not have to dolly up anything.

For me it's was just meh....nothing special. We went there for lunch. Ordered the caprese traditionale and RAVIOLI LUCANA. The tomatoes in the caprese salad were not even cut so uneven that I didn't even enjoy the presentation. Maybe that was done on purpose but it didn't do it for me. The burrata also didn't taste fresh. The raviolis were very lightly stuffed with the sausage filling and they tried to overcompensate with the tomatoes. I understand restaurants being more frugal but reducing portion size and such but it was more pasta and tomatoes than filling. Service was ok although they were very friendly.

Went to the restaurant about 5pm- not busy at all. We were there before the dinner crowd. I arrived, sat in the bar. Needless to say. The bartender served everyone in the bar but my table (we were the only Black people in the restaurant). He came and took our order. And never returned. My niece needed a refill of water, we needed to-go boxes and eventually needed our check. Bartender continued to server every table near mine. But wouldn’t stop at my table. We had to waive down someone for a refill of water, for to go boxes and I had to get up from my seat to ask for the check. I talked to the Mgr on duty. Informed her of my experience. And she reassured me “he’s just busy” remember I arrived before the dinner crowd. The restaurant and bar was like empty. I’m just here to say as a Black woman. I’m so tired of normalizing the behavior of not getting proper service as everyone else in the restaurant. I’m just so exhausted.

The location is good, the restaurant may be decent, but definitely the pizzas has to improve. We had 3 pizzas at out table but arrived cold and super hard to cut them. We had it request steak knives to cut through the crust. Even at half of the price, the pizza weren’t worth the money. It doesn’t take a starred chef to make a decent pizza, so we hope this review will make management take a look at it and make appropriate adjustments. Until then, my suggestion is that is not advisable to go there for pizza, but try something else.

We went here for a celebratory dinner with 12 people. The food was average to slightly better than average but the service was so bad I can’t give this place more than one star. Our waitress seemed to have no idea that being a waitress actually requires you to wait on people. She dropped a tray full of champagne glasses, told us they didn’t have things, then came back and told us they did. We had to ask for things multiple times. We had ordered a bottle of champagne that she poured and when I asked for more, it took her ages to bring the next bottle I requested and when she did bring it, it was when I went to the bathroom and she didn’t pour for me. When I returned, I was surprised my glass was empty and asked her to pour my glass and she told me the second bottle I had ordered was empty. I asked her why she didn’t pour my glass in the first place since I was the one who ordered it and she said she relied on my guests to tell her what glass to refill and she can’t remember every person at the table’s order! Seriously? That is your whole job. So by this point I’m in a bad mood and dinner is nearly over so I just bought by the glass. Then she comes back, actually checks the bottle and celebrates that there was more champagne in our bottle all along. All I could do is shake my head. She seemed to have no clue that she just caused us to spend another $50 on drinks because she told us our bottle was empty. No apologies, no concessions on our nearly $1000 bill. Just Horrible. Ruined a very special night that I was paying for. This is the second time I’ve had bad service there so, I won’t be back. Do yourself a favor. Go somewhere else. You’ll thank me.

I had to changed my review solely out of principle. The host or manager lied straight to my face. They told me that this fake fancy restaurant has aways charged for bread and water. WATER! NOT A BOTTLED WATER. STRAIGHT FROM THE BARTENDER GUN. I will forever put this place down on any, and every platform I can find. It cost $94 for a piece of cake, salad with chicken, bread, coffee, and soda water. I will NEVER come back to this place. Your staff need more integrity. Don't lie to customers. This place serves super overpriced pasta. Go to the Olive Garden off of Marine. You're welcome
