He made sure that we were taken care of, and attentive to our table. He came over to wish him a Happy Birthday. They gave us a complimentary birthday cake which made it so special and sweet. The hospitality is unmatched and worth visiting. We got the lamb/mash, and the hanger steak/mash. The meal was delicious! I'm glad we will be in Iowa for a little longer to visit again!

Speaking of perfect....our beef tenderloins were perfect. Not to mention the truffle risotto. It's AMAZING!!!!! The place wasn't too busy so it made for a nice laid back Friday night. Was leery about going back after my last time here but I'm so glad we did! My only complaint is that took the beef Wellington bites off their appetizers, but I understand the need to change. Can't wait to try some of the new stuff on the menu but it'll be hard to get away from the beef tenderloin.

FOOD: I got a pretty basic salad and a side of mashed potatoes. My partner got the scallops. Both were perfectly good. DRINKS: we both enjoyed a Valentine's special drink (champagne with other ingredients, which we opted to forgo) which was very well priced. SERVICE: friendly and efficient. Our server did a great job while also being the perfect amount of friendly. AMBIANCE: perfect for casual or a more upscale outing!

We're so glad we found Napoli's! The restaurant is spotless, and the inviting atmosphere makes it…read moresuch a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The vibe is wonderfully chill, and the service was friendly from start to finish. The food was absolutely wonderful--especially exciting for us because Napoli's offers classic Italian dishes without pork. I got the lasagna and my partner had the penne bolognese--both dishes that usually include pork--and we were so thrilled to finally be able to enjoy them. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Napoli's is definitely going to be our go-to spot. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience!

This is a cute place located in a nice quaint little building. Atmosphere was your typical Italian…read moredecor, lots of greenery and rustic Italian themes. Service was incredible. I mean, our waitress predicted what we needed before we asked, put my son's food order in first and brought it out quickly (we so appreciated this) and was super prompt with literally everything. We didn't have to ask for boxes, and she had the check ready on time, her timing was impeccable the entire time! The food was overall, good. The bread service was delicious. The garlic knots were freshly baked and heavenly. They do an olive oil dip with it and we usually love this at comparable restaurants but their olive oil was on the fruity/floral side for me. My husband liked it, but for me I prefer a more buttery and garlic flavor to my olive oils, especially when meant for bread. The calamari wasn't good. The issue (which is easily fixable) is that the pieces were HUGE! We've never seen calamari rings that big! Because of that, I'm assuming they got overcooked to ensure they got up to temp as these were so so rubbery and tough. I don't know if this size is typical for them if there was an ordering issue, but these would be really good if they were smaller so it could be a faster fry and less likely to get overcooked. My husband had the shrimp and scallop Alfredo and he LOVED it, he said he likes it more than his usual at Biaggis which is saying something because that's been our go to for over a decade. I had the chicken parm and the chicken itself was great. The spaghetti was okay, but the noodles were watery, making the sauce on top thin, this would've been better if the sauce and noodles were tossed into a pan to thicken the sauce and coat the noodles. My son has the chicken strip meal (it came with fries) and he was happy with it! Overall, we had a positive experience and the service itself will be enough for us to come back and try more on the menu!

My wife and I went on a date night to Mirabito's on a Friday night. Here were our thoughts:…read more Service: The service we received was excellent. Our server was polite, patient, and attentive. Food: Appetizer -- Meatballs (These were solid would rate them around 7.8/10, very generous serving size - as were the servings for the following menu items). Entree #1 -- Chicken Parm (Would rate around a 7.1/10, not a huge fan of the red sauce but the chicken was great). Side Salad -- Caesar (Rating was around a 6.6/10, the salad had great flavor but it had A LOT of Caesar dressing). Entree #2 -- Chicken Alfredo with broccoli and chicken (Easily the favorite dish of the meal, would rate 8.8/10. This is the dish that will make me a return customer!) Ambiance: This is a quiet spot for a tasty Italian meal. It feels cozy and inviting. Overall, would recommend giving this place a try. It doesn't quite reach the top tiers of restaurants I've eaten at, but as mentioned earlier, I'll be a repeat patron of this place in the future!

I was here for lunch and water eat light. I got a lunch special that's half salad and half sandwich. I got the blt and the chopped salad.

We have seen this place look really crowded so the atmosphere may be very different when comparing weekdays vs weekends and when the university has all students in attendance.

The indoor activities could also make the experience more enjoyable with a larger group, so that also would need to be factored again. Until we "eat" again Tavern blue!
