    I love this Il Fornaio, but one weakness is the less than welcoming attitude of the hostesses. For the last several years when I’ve gone at Christmas time, they barely acknowledge me and are certainly not friendly. Usually service is good and tonight was fine, but the server was also not very friendly, just efficient.

    Overpriced and not really that good. Very noisy. Food sounds good but meh overall. No dress code so you have slobs in tshirts sitting by nicely dressed folks.

    Our experience was great. Our waiter was very helpful with recommendations of wine and food. The staff was super attentive to us and our table, clearing plates shortly after dishes were finished.

    We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with our party of 7. The service started out poorly, once we were seated. We were left without our waitress coming by for 5-10 minutes. We then asked a server to please find her. Once she made contact with us, the service greatly improved. The food, drinks and holiday decor were all exceptional. We ended up enjoying a relaxing 3 hour dinner of appetizers, salads, main entrees and desserts. It was a warm and memorable experience.

    We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We were celebrating my 8 year old’s birthday and our waitress was amazing! So attentive and sweet and extra attention paid to the birthday girl. The food was delicious as always and the Christmas decorations added to the beautiful ambience.
