The food for this Valentine's Day dinner was terrific. But delays in getting the second and third courses put a damper on the celebration.

We had a great Valentine’s Day dinner. The service was friendly and courteous. We had tomato bisque and lobster bisque soups, both so tasty leaving us wishing for more. I had a good filet mignon and my girlfriend had lobster tails, sweet but maybe a little overcooked. She loved her dessert of peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce. My chocolate mousse cake was a little heavy and dry. The overall experience was a nice way to celebrate with a satisfying All American dinner.

Everything was fantastic. The only thing I would suggest is that when you order a fillet medium well maybe the server could ask if you’re OK with it being butterflied because ours is pretty pink inside. Although it tasted fantastic

I made reservations for 2 for date night and requested a booth. They only had a table in the bar area.. It was just ok. They did not give any point(s) thru open table. I have a lettuce entertain you account, and they didn’t put in the code or points. I had to contact Lettuce entertain you regarding this. I’ve always liked dining here, but it seems that service “overall” is becoming unpleasant. Waiter was good, it’s just the overall service of the restaurant itself. I am now 50-50 in dining here again..

Their fish is incredible. My wife and I each enjoyed the crusted white fish complemented by lemon butter sauce. The server was kind enough to ask if we wanted extra sauce, which we did. The meal was outstanding, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it!

I’ve been coming to DiPescara for years. The food and especially the service is always good and it’s nice to have a place to go to that. They’re familiar with you and you’re familiar with them. Our waiter Marco, who has been there for years is the best!
