    Very Impressed with Encore. Service was top notch. Food was excellent. We chose the fixed price menu, which offered plenty of choices and comes with appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. Live piano music that was just loud enough to be enjoyable.

    Made our reservation on the same day. Was seated promptly. Our server, Sloan was attentive, made some winning recommendations. Support staff was similarly attentive without being overbearing. The food choices were varied and well presented and flavorful. Happy to return again.

    Went for Valentines night dinner. Michael was a phenomenal server. The entire night was amazing. Food was excellent and perfectly done. From the greeting at the front door until the end we truly enjoyed the night. I highly recommend the beef Wellington!

    Overall, I think everything is just overpriced for the quality. 30 something dollars for a plate of pasta is a little ridiculous.

    We love coming here because it’s always great no matter what you order. Service and food are exceptional. We’ve been coming here for years and it’s always delicious. If you haven’t been here I’d say you need to try it. You’ll keep going back just like us!!!

    Food was very overpriced for the quality and taste received. Steak was ok, not bad but definitely not great. Chicken parm was a little bland. Definitely was not worth the costs we paid
