    They had a rough night on Christmas Day. I think the kitchen got behind from the jump. But you know what? They did the best they could with what they had. They comped our drinks and starters because of the delay, and communicated they were behind (although they mentioned it would be half an hour and I think we got our food around the 50-60 minute mark). However, it wasn’t our servers fault. Probably a series of unfortunate events of people showing up late, staying long, and the kitchen missing a couple tickets. They were working on Christmas so me and my family didn’t have to cook. The food was still fantastic when it arrived and they did what they could to make it right. I would eat here again absolutely

    I wanted to take my wife to a nice Christmas dinner and we chose Orange Sky on a whim, not knowing what to expect. They were not offering a pris fixe menu for Christmas but their regular menu offered exotic meats, such as Antelope, Bison, Wild Boar, Ostrich and Mike, our server was STELLAR. He took excellent care of us, guiding us through the menu, and making my wife feel extra special (her birthday is Christmas Eve). I specifically chose an early reservation to enjoy the sunset, and the views did not disappoint. The black garlic oysters were my personal favorite, while my wife enjoyed the sausage. Mike paired our food with several excellent wines from Italy and France. I wanted an espressotini with Baileys and Orange Sky was happy to make my dessert cocktail a little creamy, the way I like it. I would LOVE to come back to try their smoked prime rib or dry-aged meats soon.

    Another successful dining experience at the Italiano. We opted for the Festival of the Fishes which was a special 5 course meal. Loaded with seafood, and other dishes..the only dish you pick is the entree. I ordered the Swordfish even to the server said it wasn’t her favorite, but out of the other 3 choices it sounded good. The description didn’t match what I received tho.. It looked like 3 rolled up breadsticks. The actual swordfish was very thin and wrapped around some ground Saleme…it didn’t look appealing at all. Would not suggest or tbe menu needs to be more clear. Everything else was very good, except the weird sticky cookie type crackers they served with the Rainbow cake for dessert.
