    Mikes Italian Kitchen is an outstanding experience in Italian cuisine!… I compare it to some of the finest restaurants in the North End of Boston!… I’ve been there twice now and have truly enjoyed both visits!… I wish they’d open a branch in my town in Florida!

    Stella Blu was very nice. We were a party of 5 people who hadn't been together in a while, so we were the noise! We had a great table in the back and our server was wonderfully attentive. The food was great and we loved being able to order as we went. The cocktails were also very well done.

    all of the staff were friendly and courteous. The food was great: I had shrimp cocktail and the lobster cobb salad, my husband had the bolognease along with roasted carrots. My martini was great too. I love the humerous paintings, one I call Abe Lickin’ since he is holding an ice cream cone! We will be back.
