Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

Seated immediately and then sat for a while before getting menus. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the Butter Lettuce salad. Three in our party had the Crab stuffed Salmon and one had the Lamb Chops. When we went to leave by the back door, the manager told me we had to out the front door I still don’t understand why, since the other couple in our party went out the back.

This was our first visit to Friar's Table and we had a wonderful experience! We love the decor, the service, the food and the very friendly wait staff! I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon with the beets and oranges as a side. My husband and daughter got the beef stew as an appetizer and found it absolutely delicious. The only issue was that my daughter got a lot of beef in her cup and my husband got a lot of broth. But this is an easy fix! In addition, my daughter enjoyed a delicious salad and my husband enjoyed his chicken dish very much! We will be back for sure! Great job everyone!
