Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

This was our first visit to Friar's Table and we had a wonderful experience! We love the decor, the service, the food and the very friendly wait staff! I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon with the beets and oranges as a side. My husband and daughter got the beef stew as an appetizer and found it absolutely delicious. The only issue was that my daughter got a lot of beef in her cup and my husband got a lot of broth. But this is an easy fix! In addition, my daughter enjoyed a delicious salad and my husband enjoyed his chicken dish very much! We will be back for sure! Great job everyone!

Lunch was great - all of us ordered different salads with the add-on crab cake. The salads were good and the crab cake was perfect - crispy edges, not a lot of filler, and delicious! Our waiter was attentive and inconspicuous at the same time.
