    This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The setting is great, love the lighting and vibe. The food was really good. We had salad (wedge was so good), soup, steaks and lobster tail. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and veggies had so much flavor. Even dessert was great, husband enjoyed the cheesecake and the chocolate covered strawberries I had were delicious. Our server was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back.

    Good food and friendly service. Tables are close together so if you are looking for a private intimate setting, this isn’t it. That being said the restaurant was decorated cute for Mardi Gras and the whole experience was very good! Would highly recommend.

    Disotto never disappoints. The Spaghetti Carbonara is as good as anywhere in the world. Their calamari just has the right amount of batter and the alioli was delicious. I also love the fact that the bar stuffs their own blue cheese olives. This is a management that focuses on details and creates a wonderful dining experience,

    Everything was fantastic. The only thing I would suggest is that when you order a fillet medium well maybe the server could ask if you’re OK with it being butterflied because ours is pretty pink inside. Although it tasted fantastic
