Restaurants near Blue Point Picnic Area

The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

Fantastic experience. Our server Easton was great and I felt we were really taken care of. Will definitely go back. Great spot for special occasions.

Perfect evening! We started with the shrimp cocktail (4 pieces) presented beautifully. Then ordered the beef tenderloin medium rare. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly. The puree potatoes tasty and vegetables again cooked perfectly. I told our server this was the best cooked, most tender steak they've served in the 20+ years I've eaten at the Patio. The chef and new menu are delightful! We can't wait to try some of their other items on the menu!

Anniversary dinner and the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. Our server (AJ) was outstanding in his attentiveness to our dining experience. The entree we selected were delivered in a timely manner, tasty, and arrived at the appropriate temperature. We were treated with excellent service and tasty meals. Great overall experience. Will return to Embers.

Really great food and staff was friendly. Food portions were appropriate for the price. Staff could have been a bit more attentive, but ultimately was professional and helpful. View of the nearby mountain range is incredible.
