    Food was super spicy. If your sensitive to spice I don't recommend eating here. Such a shame cause it was yummy but burned my mouth and torn up my stomach. Not to mentioned expensive for small amount of food. Drinks were good, atmosphere was awesome.

    Jacob was an excellent waiter. He welcomed us and took great care of us. It was my partner’s bday and he made sure we had a good experience and even brought out dessert for her. Loved the view and vibes! It was a bit windy but the heaters and nice sun was nice.

    Wow. I took my fiancé here for his 40th. They had a birthday card on the table which was such a sweet touch. Henry was our server and he was such a joy and made our night. The food was absolutely incredible even with some modifications I needed for some food allergies. Would absolutely go back there again. Such a great experience! Highly recommend the shrimp cocktail and the French onion soup.

    What an AMAZING evening! The service at Cesarina was impeccable. Every person that approached us was warm, friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. From the focaccia to the soup to the pastas and Tiramisu everything was delicious. We enjoyed an early Valentine’s celebration and it was lovely. The ambiance is cozy and warm. I especially loved the little touches of the hot water bottle and blankets to keep us toasty warm. Irish was so friendly, making time to check in on us and share the story of the restaurant. A true gem, can’t wait to return.

    Absolutely incredible experience. This was my second time coming back here and it lived up to the same hype I had experienced the first time. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was even better. What was nice about this time was that I had concerns about being too cold sitting in the patio area during the winter and after expressing my concerns, they reassured me it would be sufficiently warm and proceeded to have a good amount of heating as well as additional blankets and heated water pads given to us for additional heat should we have needed it. I will definitely be coming back again
