    Christmas dinner at Giardino’s was nothing short of magical! The cozy atmosphere, twinkling lights, and festive décor made it feel like stepping into a holiday wonderland. The food was absolutely incredible, each dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff was warm, attentive, and made sure every detail was just right. It was the perfect place to celebrate the season with loved ones. Can’t wait to come back next year!

    I returned to Bleu Boheme for another year of their Joyeux Noël dinner. I so truly enjoy everything about it, choosing to sit at the bar and enjoy the staff and fellow diners as we feast on a variety of C'est incroyable dishes. I love that the bartender GG was able to precisely pair good French wine with each item I chose from the menu, though for each course he let me sample a couple from which to choose. I truly can't say enough about the experience!!!!!!!!!!

    Aromi consistently has excellent entrees with a good selection of wines. The daily special today was Mahi Mahi with a lemon caper sauce that was delicious. We always enjoy dinner and the friendly staff and servers.
