    We always enjoy our meals at Plate. We had a new server today who was amazing, Nicholas. He was very attentive, throught of all the small details and enhanced our experience there. Definitely 5 star service! My hisband and I are gluten free and tend to get the same meal each time we go. Appetizer: we split the Burrata and Procuitto and Carpaccio plates Dinner: We split the NY Strio which we have cut gamily style with a side of risotto and baby broccoli. Dessert: decaf coffee and Budino Thanks for a great meal!

    We had a delightful dinner at Piropos for an early Valentine's Day celebration. Jackie was an excellent server and our dinners were delicious - ribeye for me, lamb for my husband. The atmosphere was not super quiet because there were a couple of large tables in our area, but it was not intrusive and we could still have a nice conversation (and it was fun to watch the groups enjoy their time together). We had a wonderful evening at Piropos and will be back!
