    Overall good, Martini is tried and true and has been successful for many years. However, eating out is too expensive. Lasagna $36…c’mon. Thank you for a nice evening but the food bill was too heavy for good (not exceptional) food.

    Visited Martini's to celebrate my birthday. Our server, Amy, was exceptional. She throughly discussed the food offerings and made suggestions. She was surprising knowledgable about the wines we were considering. While she was covering multiple tables, she was attentive. The food was outstanding. Martini's is one of 'go to' restaurants when we want to celebrate or have a terrfic meal.

    The food is always good at Martini’s. Although I was a little annoyed they didn’t clear our apps before the main course came. At this price, which also seems to have increased a lot recently, I expect things like that to have been taken care of.

    Once again the table selection was terrible. High traffic area , very small space, had to continue shuffling dinnerware to have space to dine. Waiter rushed the experience. Not one of our more enjoyable dinner dates. Table size and location is a continued disappointment when booking via OpenTable.

    1st time here. Had an excellent dinner. Great service. Valet parking a big plus. Had a filet cooked to perfect order. Husband had delicious scallops. Kids had pasta dishes that were good. Meatball appetizers were really good and the garlic bread service was melt in your mouth delicious. Chocolate mousse cake dessert finished the dinner off with everyone being very happy.

    We had the MOST amazing Birthday Dinner! Our server was gracious and so helpful, the management team AND chef took time out of their night to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. The food and drinks are always a 10/10. Thank you Martini Team for making our night feel so special!
