    Family dinner at Cafe Vico. Party of 4 Arrived an hour early to watch the football game in the bar. Thomas (the bartender) took excellent care of us, drinks were prepared well and served promptly and enjoyed happy hour appetizers. We decided be seated at a booth in the bar so we could watch the game instead of the main dining room. Thomas continued to serve us exceptionally. The homemade pastas were incredible, the veal was amazing, and the chicken parm was really good! Portions were more than generous and we topped the meal off with with homemade cheesecake which was amazing. Cafe Vico is a 'go-to' for us and will continue to be!!

    Exceptional Dining Experience at RGS Steakhouse We recently celebrated my brother's birthday at RGS Steakhouse, and it was truly a fantastic experience! Despite being a large party, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us seamlessly. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, which set the tone for the evening. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was absolutely amazing! Each dish was perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, and there wasn’t a single option that didn’t impress. RGS Steakhouse has definitely won us over. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for any celebration or just a great meal out!

    We had a great experience at 15th Street Fisheries. We had Sea Bass and Crab Cakes. Both were amazing! Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We had Cake Bread Chardonnay with our meal on 1/2 price bottle wine night. Overall, great seafood, service and atmosphere.
