We were seated next to the window with great views of the lake and cute baby geese wandering around outside. Michelle was our waitress, but collectively the whole staff was fantastic, helping clear the table and refilling our cups without us having to ask. The buffalo chicken pizza had crispy edges, and the celery gave it a satisfying crunch with every bite. The shredded chicken on top was spread thick and evenly across the pie with a nice heat kick to it that didn't overwhelm the other flavors. The zucchini fries came with a delicious dipping sauce, and the fries themselves were very delicate and perfectly cooked. The lobster ravioli with rich vodka sauce ended up being a great dip for the crispy crust from the pizza, though I do wish there were more ravioli pieces in the dish or that it was plated a bit more generously. The eggplant bake was also really good with a great tasting sauce all throughout the dish. It had lots of layers and was definitely a big, hearty portion. LaScala's Birra continues to be a top choice for waterfront dining with excellent food and service.

This place is very clean and well-kept. Server Natalie was right on the ball! Our orders of chicken lasagna and brussel sprouts for him, the LaScalla salad and zucchini for me were all great! Terrific food, hot and fresh! Desserts of the brownie and ice cream for him, and the tiramisu for me were good...and the tiramisu was huge!

We had a wonderfully relaxing visit to Robin's Nest Restaurant, with soft live music setting the…read moretone and food that absolutely lived up to the atmosphere. Right away, when walking in, we were greeted with delicious looking dessert options and welcoming faces. We were seated nicely next to the decorated window, and our waiter was quick with our orders. My crab and scallop penne pasta with Alfredo sauce was delicious, with seasoned bread crumbs on top. The Alfredo sauce sadly did overpower the dish, and there just was not enough crab to come through. Some bread on the side would have been a treat to soak up all the sauce and bits of crab. The eggplant parmigiana had many layers of tasty eggplant and their flavorful sauce. I am glad we ordered the fries on the side, because they came seasoned and went perfectly with both meals. We decided to take our desserts home with us, and the limoncello was our standout favorite. There were many other options on their dessert menu that we were debating between, and we will have to stop by for more later for sure. Between the welcoming staff, relaxing live music, and well prepared plates, Robin's Nest Restaurant delivers a charming dining experience that stands out.

My BF made a surprise brunch reservation at Robin's Nest and I was just so excited…read more The restaurant & bakery is in a converted home in downtown town Mount Holly and its oozing with historical charm. There's a large parking lot across the street which makes for ease of access and there's also on street parking. My typical brunch booze is mimosas or espresso martinis but since they had quite an impressive and well thought out boozy brunch menu I opted for non traditional martinis that just made sense given the weather and warmth inside - French Toast Martini & a Rice Pudding Martini. Both a 10/10! Flavorful, strong and mighty and fun! We wanted to try a few things for our entrees so we decided to share the Quiche du Jour, Shrimp & Crab Grits, Turkey Chili and a Side of Bacon. When I tell you that this food didn't miss on a single thing ... literally SLAMMING! We ate until we couldn't eat anymore, ok I lied, we ate until there was just enough room for dessert lol because I had to order the Lemon Bar ... HOMERUN!!!! Seriously not a single thing that could've been better with the entire meal! Our server was also friendly and really thorough too which made for a dare I say it, 5 STAR RATING!!! We're definitely coming back and will bring friends and family when in town bc it's just that dang good :)

Extremely disappointing experience tonight at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill on Mother's Day…read more My wife and I waited about 15 minutes just to be seated while watching at least five groups who walked in well after us get seated first. According to the greeter, they were all walk-ins too. I tried to brush it off as Mother's Day chaos and stay understanding. Unfortunately, it only got worse from there. After finally being seated, we waited around 45 minutes for our food. My wife ordered the steak penne, and it arrived not even lukewarm. I ordered a ribeye that was undercooked and completely unseasoned. To make matters worse, our silverware was dirty, and we had to ask twice just to get clean forks and knives. Even then, we waited another 10 minutes before we could actually eat. What makes this especially disappointing is that this restaurant meant something to us. This was where we had our first date, our wedding night dinner, and our first anniversary dinner. We came back expecting a special night and left genuinely let down. I understand holidays are busy, but basic service, food quality, and cleanliness shouldn't completely fall apart.

I have to say this place is quite the conundrum. I have lived up the street from this restaurant…read morefor 8 months. I first tried some take out from them when my husband and I just moved into the area, & I was trying to get a feel for the good food spots. What I got was ehhhhh not memorable. It confused both of us that it seemed like a nice building, but the parking lot was never full- even on the weekends. A girlfriend of mine was visiting this evening, and we originally wanted to venture to Curtains Wharf for an outdoor on the water experience. An hour and a half wait, no thank you, and I said hey, let's go to Il Portico-been meaning to. Inside is very dated. It's got the vibes of a 1950's Italian cigar lounge. Again not busy, maybe 5 or 6 tables the whole twoish hours we were there. However, the staff seemed to really be trying to accommodate you, everyone was polite and helpful. A cocktail list and wine by glass list would really go far. We got some bread for the table, some of it was kind of rock hard & looked day old, but some of what looked like focaccia bread was good. We got excited for carpaccio on the apps side, but were disappointed to find it wasn't beef, but salmon (?) in an Italian restaurant? Odd. And we also saw a lot of Tuna options for entrees, again, odd. I did want steak originally, but NY strip isn't my fave, and I opted for Veal Medallions- very good. Sauce was delicious, veggies cooked just fine. $12 for an Arugula starter salad with legit, one tomato wedge was again ... odd. My friend had the beet salad and Branzino special, said they were both good. Only off thing was her Old Fashioned had the coloration of a Shirley Temple, but the flavor was on par and good. A couple weird little moments but we really enjoyed ourselves & would love to return.

Burlington, NJ has a true dining gem with Revell Hall!

I discovered this place in an online search for dining experiences near Andalusia Historic House,…read moreGardens, and Arboretum to follow a tour there this past Friday. The Michelin Star chef and positive reviews caught my eye, but the menu -- especially the cocktail menu! -- was especially compelling. (Please note that at the time of my posting this review, the cocktail list on the restaurant's website and the dessert list are NOT up to date, so I have added a photo of their spring menus that just launched.) The food and drinks were a solid 10/10. My partner and I started with the Spanish Grilled Octopus, which was mind-blowing. This restaurant knocks punchy flavors and umami out of several time zones. We both ordered the Cast Iron Miso Black Cod, which comes with a heaping portion of pleasantly-herbed root vegetables. The cod was so luscious, buttery, and silky. The flavor was majestic. Rapturous. I hope it stays on the menu forever. I'm normally more a fan of autumn/winter drinks than spring/summer because I loathe the emphasis most establishments place on gin, fruity /sweet/sour flavors, carbonation, etc. The center of my cocktail universe would a well-made Vieux Carre or a Sazerac with the absinthe left in the glass, and everything else revolves around this like a supporting cast. SO, while I was initially dismayed that I had just missed Revell Hall's winter cocktail menu, this feeling passed quickly when I saw how creative and spirit-comprehensive the new menu is. I ordered the Jade Lagoon (pictured below). I've never experienced a drink like this, and I don't have the proper lexicon to do justice to its beauty and complexity. It turns out that the mixologist is Steve Mazzuca from Bathtub Gin in NYC, my beloved former home. What a phenomenal choice for Revell Hall and a special connection with New York! Service and atmosphere were also fantastic. Although the dining area is a bit spare and modern, bringing the beautiful corner view into the space was clearly the intent. The bar area is gorgeous and has an upscale, warm elegance. I can't wait to go back and try the Squid Ink Pasta with Lobster.

I don't understand the poor reviews, perhaps people are ordering the wrong things. Or perhaps…read morepeople are injecting their personal preferences versus being introspective and think... "Perhaps I didn't like it this way, but other people do so I'm not gonna do this small business harm when everyone's out here trying to make it?" I don't know. But anyway! this is my second time here and I failed to read review the first time. Both times it came for Happy Hour. I set up the bar and I was served by Kelsey G. She is fantastic! I hope she doesn't get mad and won't let you in on our little secret. You gotta order the wings with the lemon pepper dry rub and then a side of hot buffalo wings sauce. Absolutely crazy. Plus, a blue cheese in the ranch must be Housemade because they are out of this world. Also had an order of the Mexican calamari-delicious. And you know what we did? We drudged that calamari through the lemon pepper sauce from the wings. Sent us straight to Heaven! We had the Gramps cocktail, wasn't strong at all. It tasted like fruit punch. But we're thinking perhaps it's one of those sneaky cocktails that goes down easy, but bites you in the butt later, lol. Also had the lavender Bellini, absolutely delicious. Also got the pineapple martini, Taklatini, it was supposed to have a cinnamon, simple syrup, and and frankly it just tasted like a pineapple Martini with nothing special added. We checked out the menu and decided we would definitely come back to try some other items. We don't live nearby, but now we're thinking we would go out of our way to stop by to support it. It is absolutely fabulous!

The hostess who sat us was nice and our waitress was great…read more Service was excellent from start to finish. Portions were tiny for the price, and all 4 entrees were served cold. One entree was sent back to be redone and didn't return until everyone else was done eating. The manager did comp this meal and offered free desserts. Bottom line is it was not a good experience and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My girlfriend and her family have been dining at Marco's specifically for their all you can eat…read moreDungeness crabs now for years. This was my first time. We made reservations for 6:30 on a Saturday. We finished up shopping a little early and Marco's had no issue seating us prior to our reservation. The feel in the restaurant was what you'd expect from a casual clubhouse vibe. Our server was welcoming, attentive, and very hard working. Constantly making rounds, asking if we needed anything, cleaning tables, running food. She made the experience that much better. As far as the crabs go, they come with garlic bread, fries, and a soup or salad, and you're able to order the crabs cooked in garlic butter, old bay, or both. My girlfriend is the pro and recommended both so that's what I did and they didn't disappoint. The $49.99 price tag on the ayce crabs for their winter months in my opinion is a great value considering other local ayce seafood deals. The crabs were cooked very nicely and were very easy to open. Each leg and cluster produced large, in-tact, succulent pieces of crab. To drink I had a glass of Maker's Mark neat and a draft Yuengling (which you can't really mess up, but the Yuengling was cold and crisp). My gf had a vodka club with a splash of pineapple which was refreshing and wasn't overly sweet. I did not try the garlic bread as I was trying to save as much room as possible for crabs, however the old bay fries were great. The soup of the day was cheeseburger which I chose instead of a salad. I'm hoping it's not an indication of how the rest of their soups are. This was very below average and would make me shy away from ordering soup off of their menu again. With that being said I'm not too worried about the soup impacting my overall experience at Marco's. I was there solely for the crabs and prior to arriving I was not planning on eating anything else. We were told that in the coming months as the colder weather moves out, prices will be going back up to their Spring/Summer prices of $65/person. Definitely get in before then if you're looking for a reasonable price for all you can eat crab

I might return for the food. Ambiance was just ok. No music. We listened to the male server at the table next to us.
