    With Valentine’s Day being one of the busiest nights for dinner reservations, the staff was fantastic. Our waitress Brenda was attentive, but left us to enjoy dinner without feeling like we were being rushed out. The garlic hummus and olives were amazing and our prosciutto pizza was incredible. Definitely will be back!

    I had a fillet, which may have been the best steak I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to many great steakhouses. This was unexpected as I thought of the restaurant as an Italian place.  a waitress, Brooke, was very attentive, sweet and adorable. A Valentine date was all that needed to be.

    Early Valentine dinner for us. Big fans of Desi Vega on the south shore and the Mandeville location does not disappoint. Turtle soup, Ribeye and Creme Brulet for me and Filet, Lyonnaise potatoes and Cheesecake for her. Everything especially the steaks were cooked perfectly. Seth our waiter did a great job and we will be back soon.
