I went here during the week in the evening. Service was prompt and attentive. The manager walked by and talked with all of the patrons to see how they were doing. I tried the meatballs for appetizer, and they were phenomenal. I definitely recommend trying this app! I ordered my usual old fashioned, and was very pleased with the quality; the orange peel zest was easily detected, and the bartender clearly took pride in his craft. For entree, I got the peppercorn ribeye steak-frites, and loved it. I was happy to see a French-inspired option on the menu. The chef prepared it exactly as ordered, a perfect medium-rare and the quality was great. I enjoyed the crust on the outside and peppercorn sauce. For dessert, I got the crème brûlée, and it was very good. They had a rock solid layer of the "burned" sugar on top and the vanilla custard was great. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

We stopped in at Marino’s for happy hour. This was our first experience and definitely will not be our last. From start to finish, everything was excellent. After a couple beers, we ordered some happy hour food. We definitely over ordered but everything was delicious. We had the marinated olives, meatballs, and order of focaccia, calamari, and fried artichokes. Usually there’s a dish that stands out, but in this case, there were at least three stand out dishes. The focaccia was fluffy and light, the calamari was tender and lightly fried, and finally, the artichoke hearts with lemon aïoli were absolutely delicious. To top it off, Alicia was a friendly and efficient bartender. We had a wonderful time there.

This place was amazing 🤩. We had tickets to the comedy club next door so we picked this spot. And Zero regrets. We sat outside and I met a friendly Pekingese dog so this place is dog 🐶 friendly. Reed was our server and he was the best‼️ I had the steak 🥩 tartare and it was a hug 🤗 from Jesus. Check this place out y’all you won’t be disappointed 🤩🤩🤩

If you visit, ASK FOR RAE! She is amazing! Treated us very well!. If only the food was a delightful as she was! We ordered the risotto with halibut and the chicken and spaghetti. Also ordered the spinach dip. Didnt like anything. Im pretty sure it's just not my cup of tea. Im sure the cooks did the meals justice. Just wasn't for us. Will be back to visit Rae!!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The menu is limited but the quality and ingredients are incredibly fresh. The truffle pizza is to die for. Top notch service and atmosphere as well. I definitely recommend this place to anyone.
