    Had an amazing brunch with my lovelies for our friendsmas. Everyone enjoyed the drinks and food there. The DJ was playing on the background and we were able to have conversation which was a huge plus. Been to other restaurants where the DJ is playing and we couldn’t hear each other except yelling out the conversation so it was nice to enjoy our brunch without yelling. We ordered Deviled Eggs and Pulpo for our appetizer. The octopus was tender and packed with flavor. Our entree was also packed with flavor. Our server, Desiree, was very attentive and our water was always filled throughout our time there.

    The Godfather's is a classy, old-school restaurant. Red leather booths...waiters in suits. And the food is very good. My sea bass was delicious. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. And on the weekends they have a piano player. There is also reasonably priced valet parking. Highly recommend

    Great dinner at Et Voila last night! Recommended by a total stranger, but he was right! Great atmosphere, attentive service, and great food. We had onion soup and escargot, of course, Then duck confit and roast duck. All were superb! An enjoyable time was had by all! (PS: The $40 corkage was a little tough to swallow... And after opening our bottle they never served it to us...)
