Had dinner this weekend with visiting family. Last time I was here was over 20 years ago. The food was just as exceptional as it was in 2004. My family, self proclaimed foodies, loved it all, We had a party of 11 and the family style presentation was perfect! Every appetizer, along with every entree, weren’t just delicious, they were all phenomenal. Braised fennel is more than worth the hype.

Best steak I’ve ever had. Service was friendly, available, and not disruptive. To be honest, the hanger steak dinner could have been split among 2-3 people with the pasta included - prices were fair for a fancy dinner. Will be back!

Food is awesome, but I prefer to be greeted by someone when I enter what isn’t clearly the entrance…. There is little outside to indicate a great restaurant is upstairs, but enter through the unmarked door and walk up stairs that look like you’re going into a storage area… When you actually get inside, there is no place to wait. When I asked if I came in the front door, I was given [too much attitude] a cold response from someone who acted as though I was in the wrong place, but told to wait…. Bottom line, make reservations and don’t expect a friendly greeting.

This Italian restaurant was amazing! The pasta was absolutely delicious , fresh, flavorful, and the portions were huge! You definitely won’t leave hungry. We didn’t have a reservation and had to wait about 20 minutes, but it was totally worth it. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic.

EdoSquid is always a great choice — the food is consistently delicious. We always enjoy the broccoletti, and they have so many great seafood options, like the clam dishes, linguine and clams, halibut or rockfish with a side of pasta, and the Diablo shrimp or Diablo fish. Always a great meal!
