We had our birthday lunch at your restaurant today, three sisters. The ruben sandwiches crusts were so hard they could not even cut them with a knife. We feel they had been warmed in a microwave and had gotten that terrible hardness from that. I am so sorry I recommended this today for them. My Fr...
The food was excellent and unbelievably unique. We had fine service and the spot where we sat was very comfortable.
OK, So it is a Mcdonald's, you've been to ones before, well wait, this one is really different. The interior is nicer than any I have ever been too, and their food selection is slightly different, may be this is a test site. very clean, and large play area for kids.
First, it is not a mexican resturant. It is Americanized mexican food. So the best resturant to compare it to would be taco bell. Taco bell costs less, and tastes better. So why are you going to this resturant. If you want real mexican food, avoid this resturant. If you want good value for your do...
Have enjoyed Caprial's for years. When I have guests visiting who want to enjoy Northwest cuisine with a great wine selection, this is my number one destination.
fantastic food
I love having dinner at Il Piatto. I think that, considering, the owner does most of the cooking himself, the food is prompt and delicious. Its hard to come by a restuarant owner that does as much as Il Piatto's owner does. The restuarant radiates a romantic feeling and the wine list is truely extra...
Even things I don't normally like are better than I could imagine at Paley's. Sometimes you need to make reservations early, but there is a reason this place is popular. I suggest going to the website to see what's on the menu as it changes seasonally. Sustainability is a big thing at Paley's. T...
This is a very old restaurant and there is a worn look about it, but the food is pretty resonably priced and it is pretty good. It smells of smoke becuase on one end is the bar and the smoke just kind of permiates the whole restaurant.
This is the best food ever, There Crab Puffs are the very best and the egg rolls are wonderful. I would say if you like American style chinesse food you wont find a better place to dine. Nothing fancy just GREAT Food. I have been eating here since I was born as well.
I had a very bad experience at il piatto with a large group, None of our food came out a the same time, and half of it was wrong when it did come out. The tomatoes in my pasta tasted moldy, my wife found blue mold on her prosciutto, there was a lasagna that looked like it had been in a microwave al...
I had an amazing dining experience. The food is truely incredible. Very innovative, highly creative menu. Service was casual but professional. Wait staff was very knowledgable about their extensive wine list.

i think that old spaghetti factory is the best restaurant that i have ever beeing into. and thanks for thr good service. and as for the chief he or she is good cook too. as for the rest of the employees they are nice too.
So far the best place I've ever eaten at. Very intimate feeling. Beautiful food! I highly recommend!!
Paley's Place is a true "dining experience" from the excellent food, to the ambiance (particularly eating on the porch), to the wait staff. I have taken out of town company, and they wanted to go back the next night! Wait staff also honored my request to make sure I got the check but unobtrusively s...
Hello, I have been going here since I was, well, born. It is great food and excellent service. I still see the same faces as I did when I was little. I will say thought, it is definently a local's only place. It doesn't appear to be much but the food is, well, the best. See you there....
Reasonably good food, but certainly overrated in my opinion . . . steaks are good but not excellent . . . pricing is too high . . . overall, good choice, not great, too high a price . . .
Dirty food quality poor
My husband and I enjoyed our appetizers, New England Chowder (in a bread bowl) and Lobster Flourentine Soup--both were simply fabulous and bursting with flavor! For our entrees, we had the Boothbay Seafood Penne and the foot-long Lobster Roll; both were tasty as well. The Boothbay dish had plenty of...
Fabulous, carefully crafted food. Service is uneven. Typical Pearl district look and feel.
