San Marco is truly a wonderful restaurant, and well worth trying out. I strongly recommend you call…read morefor reservations, because this restaurant fills up quickly. There's two dining areas, I can only speak of one side to the left of the main doors. This side was decent size and had decent spacing of the tables. The service is excellent, but as many mentioned it is a bit slow. But for me, it was ok because you're not rushed at all during your stay. As for the food, I was throughly pleased on every entree I had. I would say though, I would've loved if they had a cocktails menu. I was surprised to see only wines and beer are offered here. But even still, that wouldn't deter me from coming back and becoming a regular. FILETTO AL CARBONE | $55.00 Grilled 8 oz. Filet Mignon served in a creamy porcini mushroom sauce with cracked black pepper and brandy. Steak was prepared perfectly, and the sauce served with this entree was delicious GAMBERI E CAPESANTE LIVORNESE | $39.00 Fresh sea scallops and tiger shrimp in a delicious brown sauce of cognac and shallots surrounding a nest of angel hair pasta.

**Catered Event: Board of Directors' Dinner**…read more Numerous locals recommended Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant as an excellent choice for formal occasions, and it proved to be a wonderful venue for our Board of Directors' dinner. I hosted a dinner for twenty (board members and their guests) and was especially impressed by the catering manager, who patiently guided me through the many decisions involved in planning the event and personally welcomed me on the evening of the dinner. The waitstaff were attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs, and the private dining room was both relaxing and quiet. We chose the "King's Table," which allowed all twenty guests to sit together around one large table. The room and table settings were beautiful, creating an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The event menu allowed me to select three salads, three entrées, and two desserts for our guests. Printed menus were placed at every setting, offering a gracious welcome and making the ordering process easy and efficient. I heard from many guests that their meals were excellent. I especially enjoyed the beet salad with goat cheese and the crème brûlée cheesecake. My filet mignon, unfortunately, was tougher than I had expected. The pecan-crusted salmon looked marvelous, and I found myself wishing I had chosen it instead. The pricing was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the setting, service, and overall experience. Each dinner was $85 and included a salad, entrée, and dessert. Bacchus provided a beautiful and memorable evening for our board, and I would gladly recommend it for a private dinner or formal gathering.

Corn season was in while we were here so we chose the totally unique corn waffle with arugula, chili, mushrooms. Divine. If we hadnt ordered more food we'd have licked the plate. The agnoloti wasnt your normal small hats but rather more interesting ravioli. But who cares it's shape--it was balanced, housemade pasta that made me very happy. The steak had that good crust and it wasnt your average steak house steak. It was as good but with different flavors. A great order.

We were seated upstairs. Our waitress was attentive and welcoming. We started with the bruschetta and stuffed banana peppers. both tasty.

I ordered the classic chicken parm. Did not disappoint. Most of this menu is pasta dishes, so if you aren't in the mood for pasta, I would recommend trying when you are!

Turns out…read morethere was some sort of corporate event thing happening, lots of 20 and 30 somethings wearing name tags snagging food off trays passed by waitstaff. Someone stuck a plate of meatballs in front of my face so of course I took one. Quite tasty. Loved loved loved the eggplant stack appetizer, but be sure to eat it all at the restaurant because it does not reheat nicely when you're home later on. I also had the chicken piccata which was on a bed of couscous and artichokes. Different, but tasty. Needed salt and pepper. My friends ordered some sort of a pasta dish and some sort of a salmon dish. They both liked their food. I tried my friends brussels sprouts and Jesus Christ. They were the best sprouts I've ever had. We did not order dessert because apparently Chef had prepared too many teeny tiny cups of banana pudding for the corporate event, and our server brought a few over for us to sample. How nice. I don't even like banana pudding. But I ate it, because of course I did.

WOW! So glad I tried this place and saw what all that hype was about…read more The ambience in here is so cute and a great date night or girls night spot. Our server was very attentive and helpful when we had questions about serving sizes. I was with a party of 3 and we ended up getting 5 dishes to share , and 2 desserts. The fried cheese and hummus with bread were both phenomenal. I almost wanted to order seconds of both. We also got the octopus, ricotta gnocchi, and paccheri. Both pastas were again phenomenal. I could pass on the octopus, but I just don't think I like octopuss that much. I do believe their menu rotates seasonly so I will have to come back in the fall or winter to try a new menu. Definitely recommend Mira!! (If you are able to snag a reservation LOL)

I wanted to love my fig/prosciutto/balsamic pizza and their version of a Caesar salad, but I just didn't--too salty and the flavors were just off for me. (I don't think there was anything wrong with the dishes themselves--I just think they were too rich for me. I'm sure I would've been very happy if I would've eaten the same dishes as my boyfriend. I'm sure others will enjoy that pizza and salad). Chocolate-orange gelato was delicious. Huge portions of everything! You won't leave here hungry. Was sad we couldn't take anything home as we were traveling. I wish that they had had their cuccidati (Italian fig cookies) on hand in the restaurant--which they apparently sell at their bakery at another site--I wanted to see if they were as good as the ones I make! Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to visit their bakery as we left town the next day. Service was very attentive and pleasant (my Scottish boyfriend thought it was over-the-top, but he's used to minimal service standards, ha ha). (If you want to be completely left alone for your meal, this isn't the place for you). I found the service to be terrific. Definitely can tell this is a family business--and as someone who also is a part of a family Italian restaurant, I enjoyed this aspect. Would visit again if I was local--and I'd make sure I had the minestrone and a meaty pasta dish--or I'd even come just to have a cocktail and bread with the dip!

Food 4/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 Perla's happy hour is a great time to try clams, oysters and shrimp. Prices cannot be beat during the happy hour for these seafood delicacies which are costly otherwise. I was out at Perla on a Wednesday recently to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday with a group of friends. We had a great time and our server was such a sweet guy. The Woodfire pizzas are very good if you're not into seafood. Those you have to order from the regular menu. The menu is too limited for the happy hour. I knocked off one star because of this. There's usually a live band during this time, but we did not have one on the Wednesday that we attended unfortunately. I would definitely come back for the oysters!

In my 38 years on this earth I experienced a first at Perla while trying to catch a happy hour…read more Never saw a bartender throw a tantrum up until today. While reviewing the happy hours specials I noticed "bottled and draft beers: $5.95". Not the greatest deal but went with it. I then proceeded to order 2 Corona Extras. We enjoy ourselves, finish our drinks, and now it's bill time. After reviewing the bill we notice that my Coronas were charged at $8.95 each. We bring this up to the bartender and are told "that's only for domestics"; not anywhere on the menu is this stated (don't worry I double checked). We ask if this is an error in our favor to which the magic happens. We must have said the magic words to this dirty blond bartender because that's when the tantrum happens. She then proceeds to reach into her tip jar and throw a single dollar bill and four quarters in front of us (technically still owed us $4). I've never seen such blatant disrespect and utter lack of candor or customer service. There's 100s of different ways to handle that situation if she disagreed with our thought on the bill and her reaction was literally the worst one. I had all intentions of coming back because we thoroughly enjoyed our time until literally the last minute. Obviously, we will not be back and I will share this experience with anyone that asks me about this place Take my experience for what it is and be mindful of the service (or for the love of God don't try and call them out on their specials!).
