    This was our first time there- we were celebrating my moms 84th birthday- the restaurant was beautiful- the food was amazing and so hot you had to blow it (which is a good complaint) our server was outstanding! The only negative was that it’s so loud - we could here the other diners conversations- overall it was a great experience and we will be going back…

    The food is always phenomenal. Service is wonderful. It can get a bit noisy as the restaurant fills up. Overall, I always recommend LaSalle Grill!

    Our dining experience at Yesterday’s last night certainly didn’t disappoint! The drinks, dinner and dessert were delicious. We all tried the perch and it was prepared perfectly. The garlic mashed potatoes were a perfect accompaniment. Key lime pie paired perfectly with dinner. All in all diners choosing Yesterday’s for the first time will be very pleased!

    We were exceptionally pleased. It was a lovely evening of quiet family-like dining. Laughter from other tables of guests enjoying themselves and an elegantly lit Christmas tree in the middle of the room. Our food was perfect temperatures, both hot and cold. We intended to share desserts and had to order more tiramisu because it was so exceptional! Drinks were fun and new to us, as Winter Specials. Will return soon as this is our new Italian favorite.

    I had 4 others in my party! My salmon dinner was good, burger was medium well, when asked for medium rare, the beyond patty was charred on one side, the fettuccine with chicken was a bit dry, the onion soup had no complaints, but not as good as some others! Service was just ok! But have been there many times over the years and always good! Maybe you had a less experience chef tonight, since Monday isn’t as busy! Thank you!
