    My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Gibsons thanks to Eli and the managers! We started with the caesar salad…it is one of the best i’ve ever had. We then got a filet and NY strip with the bernaise sauce (THE best) and the meat was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. We finished dinner with the banana and chocolate cake dessert. Everything was absolutely perfect. Eli made our experience unforgettable. He was so nice, helpful, and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!

    My wife and I chose Cafe Farina to start a weekend long celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. I seleted this restaurant based on other reviews I read. They did not steer me wrong!! I hope my review will help others finalize their choice to try Cafe Farina. Now to the experience itself. In my 53 years of life, I've eaten my fair share of Italian food. I truly can say this was by far the best Italian I've ever eaten. The atmosphere was extremely warm and welcoming. We felt like we were at Grandma's house for a family celebration! The staff was extremely friendly and warm to us we felt like family!! Cafe Farina has now been placed on our must do list when we get to Michigan City! All I truly can say to anyone on the fence about trying this restaurant is just do it!! You truly will not regret it. I love this place!!
