Server Merve provided perfect service, knowledgeable of the menu and good at matching menu items with our taste and interest. The experience was delightful, food was excellent. Don’t forget to leave room for the chocolate moose cake! If you’re going to Char Stake House, do yourself a favor and ask to be seated in Merve’s section to ensure that you have the best possible experience Char can provide!

We were lucky to get seats at the chef’s table. The kitchen is well run and efficient. Food was excellent. Calamari was fresh and tender with a tasty aioli sauce accompanying the usual marinara. We had swordfish tacos - tasty grilled fish with fresh ingredients. The seafood risotto had generous amounts of lobster and shrimp with two seared scallops. Checking out at about $100 with tip for two this was a good value. BYOB.

Caffe Piazza is such a great Italian spot. The food has been excellent every time I have dined. This time, I had the Sunday Stufato special that included a meatball, sausage, and braciole. The meat was all so tasty! The homemade paperdelle was perfect, and the sauce was spot on. The service is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Caffe Piazza!
