    Fabulous location, beautiful decor, exceptional menu and a service team that was all about getting to “yes!” My husband had a stroke 11 years ago and restaurant music that’s too loud is uncomfortable for him…we asked if the music could be lowered and they accommodated. We will be back for brunch!

    It was my first time there and not my last! We were greeted by Makayla, who was amazingly accommodating as I called to change my reservation twice. Given the option of outside or inside, both had a lovely and live energy. We were seated inside, and our Server Enrique was astonishing. From the beginning to getting to know us, to the end with us hugging as if we knew each other for years. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the whole menu. 10 out of 10 MUST RECOMMEND Lychee Martini, Waygu Sliders, Crab Cake, Whipped Potatoes, Bacon Mac and Cheese, Chicken Entree, Box of cookies. The restaurant manager John was extremely friendly and gave us a great recommendation. If you get the box of cookies, get a side of cookies and cream with it and eat it together. AMAZING!!! Okay, I know I wrote a novel, but it was worth it. Our experience was wonderful. We enjoyed ourselves from the staff, the ambiance, to the food.

The service is outstanding and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal at Martorano’s You owe it to yourself to pay one of the locations a visit. I plan on going to the new place in Philadelphia in the near future. Yo cuz thanks for another outstanding meal.

    I feel awful for not remembering our server’s name as he played a major role in making our night here a very memorable one. We had reservations for 2 but sat at a booth because we planned on ordering a few tapas. The vibe was just right, there was live music being sang by a guy with his guitar and his partner on the piano. For drinks we kept it simple with a few shots of tequila and some margaritas. For tapas we had: -Pot Roast. This dish was warm, savory and succulent. The beef was braised to perfection and the veggies were well cooked. -Peel n Eat Shrimp. The butter sauce has old bay seasoning in it which gave it a nice kick! The herb garlic bread was wonderfully toasted, not too hard and soaked up the butter sauce nicely. -Bacon Wrapped Dates. The sweetness from the dates paired well with the bacon. The blue cheese on the inside was well melted and added a creaminess to each bite. -Filet Mignon Slider. No comment, my husband swallowed the slider whole. He says it was a 10/10. I believed him because he liked his fingers to get up the bit of aioli left on it. -Lamb Chops. Perfectly grilled. Nice grill marks on the outside and juicy on the inside. -Chicken n Waffles. Cooked to order. The waffle was still warm when it got to our table. The chicken breast tenders had a nice crunchy well seasoned batter on them. -Pork Belly. Wish they fried it a bit more but you could taste the marinade on the meat. The glaze was also a nice touch. -BBQ Ribs. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone. Only thing I would recommend is to get a good broil on the bbq sauce so it’s not too messy . We will definitely be back & have already told our friends to check this place out.
