We are never disappointed with the food at Oasis. We definitely have our favorites, (Huevos Rancheros and French toast), and pretty much stick to what we know we like. They were very busy for New Year’s Day today, but we were seated at the exact time of our reservation, and received excellent service, neither taking too long, nor making us feel rushed to turn the table. These are the reasons we return time after time.

We were excited that Brio was open on Christmas Day! we made reservations for Christmas evening for dinner and were treated very well by our server, Seth. Even though servers were bussing their own tables due to reduced staff on the holiday, Seth made sure we were his focus and was attentive to our needs. It is not fun working on a holiday but restaurant staff went out of their way to help us feel welcome.

After my son had visited VENETO on two occasions, he employed me to visit as well. So I took the family of six to VENETO for a wonderful dinner. The food was second to none. The ambience was beautiful and the wine selection is amazing.
