For dessert, we tried the New York cheesecake, gelato, and an affogato. All three were good and a nice way to finish the meal. The service was great and everyone was friendly. The restaurant was a little warm inside, but it was extremely hot outside, so that may have been part of it. Overall, Kiki's was good.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

The look and the feel of the Grapefruit Basil restaurant did not feel like other Tommy Bhammas. It did not have that vibe. Plus, the drink menu is not the same as Tommy Bahammas as well- while reviewing the menu I noticed a couple of similar drinks such as the grapefruit basil, so I decided to order a familiar drink. Unfortunately, this drink was not as good as the one that I had the night before-- I could not taste the alcohol, it just tasked like grapefruit- I was sad, as this is like my go to drink. To compliment out drinks, we had the salsa guac appetizer that we are very familiar with from the Tommy Bhamma restaurant. The appetizer was good, and like I remember from their restaurants. So how was the atmosphere-- we just popped down at the bar. The bar felt like we were at a hospital. Very white and blah. If it was a cooler night, the outdoor space might have been nicer. They do have a bar and seating outside. As it was still in the 100s, we did not have that option. The bar was a bit distasteful with off conversations- we don't mind a party vibe, but the vibe was not that kind of environment. Lastly, this restaurant/bar does not use the tommy Bahamas membership program so you cannot accumulate points or use your credits. Would we come again- well, Tommy Bahammas it's not too far away, I think we would head there instead or another bar.

He was really great and very professional. The wife ordered The Garden Farm Red & Greens ($16) that was one of the tastiest salads we've had in recent memory. Red radicchio, baby arugula & Belgian endive, candied walnuts, dried cherries, Asian pear, applewood smoked bacon, goat cheese crumbles, vanilla honey essence and dressed in a marvelous champagne vinaigrette. It was delicious with many different textures and flavors. The wife ordered the 8 oz. Filet Mignon ($65) and I went with the 16 oz. NY Steak ($70), with a loaded baked potato ($13) sautéed mushrooms ($14), and a side of peppercorn sauce ($6). Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. Rolando treated my wife to a wonderful chocolate brownie for her birthday dessert. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and were impressed with the entire dining experience.

Definitely make reservations. It was busy when we got there. They first sat us inside, but the acoustics are terrible; it was so loud and echoey in there we could barely have a conversation, luckily the host was able to sit us on the back patio. It was beautiful there and they had a lively guitar soloist who was very versatile in all genres of music. Our waiter could've been a little more attentive. We got waters and drinks, but I thought he'd ask if we wanted any appetizers, but he ran off as soon as we got the drinks and we probably sat for 20 minutes. I had an Arnold Palmer to drink maybe to be cliche but it really hit and paired well with my meal. I thought they might have some complementary bread or something, but no. Our server finally came back to take our order. I thought they might have some specials, but he didn't mention any and I was impatient at that point. I don't always leave 5 stars, but the food made up for what the service lacked. It was really worth the wait once we got our food. We started with the potstickers. They were prepared excellently. They weren't soggy at all as they can sometimes be and the dipping sauce was simple yet phenomenal. The calamari was great. It was crispy and had crunchy breading. The best thing were the onion rings. They were THE best I've ever had. They were just the right amount of crispy, they weren't greasy and their flavor was amazing with the perfect amount of salt and seasoning. We even tried the BBQ shrimp. That was just ok, I don't know about the sauce or the piece of bread it comes with. Our entrees were excellent too. I had the halibut with pepper jack risotto. That was amazing. You don't find halibut at a lot of places and it was so flakey and not dry whatsoever. The risotto was excellent too. You hardly ever see pepper jack flavor either; It did not disappoint! The spaghetti was amazing too. My partner ordered that. Their homemade noodles and sausage are next level. A couple other entrees at our table included the filet mignon and the New York steak. They were both excellent. I'd say the New York steak was the better of those two options. It was cooked to perfection. Our server didn't bring our food out, but the guy who brought our food knew which person ordered which entree without asking which was cool. We didn't stop there. They we had dessert. I tried the peanut butter gelato. It was rich and decadent. My partner had their house butter cake a la mode, which was so tasty. It was moist and not overly sweet. The banana split was huge too! The valet gives you tickets to pick up your car. We were one of the last patrons of the night and Seth from the valet recognized us and already had my car ready before I had my ticket out. He saw me in the lobby area about to exit. I highly recommend going here. Make a reservation for outdoors (when the weather permits) and you'll probably get a great server.

Who in their thoughtful mind makes a table reservation 15 minutes prior to closing? You realize that kind of reservation s/b a to go order? Wow. I'm so confused. Almost all the reviews are so sweet and positive. After working every kind of restaurant from Jacques Donne le box to fine dining, I beg all of you: order fast food if you're hurried! Order nice food if you want to enjoy fine conversation and PS' slower version of life. Wear your screen, sip Gatorade or lemonade or Pellegrino or Perrier w/a citrus wedge or even tap...Stare at the fake lake and enjoy life, plz...Slip an energy bar in your bag if you get hangry...most nice hotels provide them.

We stayed at the Chateau at Lake La Quinta for our anniversary and had an exceptional time! After we checked in, we went to Melange for happy hour. We sat at a table on the patio overlooking the lake and had the Ahi Poketini which was absolutely delicious. We then ordered the calamari and it was tender and flavorful. The chardonnay was cool, crisp and a nice accompaniment to the appetizers. Later on, we ordered room service - the Caesar Salad and the Jumbo Sea Scallops and Prawns served over a bed of garlic risotto with asparagus. Oh my gosh - we were in heaven! The presentation on the Caesar was wonderful and the dressing one of the best we've ever had. The scallops were cooked perfectly as were the prawns and the risotto was so flavorful and the asparagus delicious. We are planning on going back ;-) read more

Nestled in an elegant corner of the city, this sophisticated restaurant offers an unparalleled dining experience. The friendly and attentive staff ensure a warm welcome, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance is truly enchanting, with a stunning view overlooking a gracefully lit water fountain, its tranquil cascade adding to the romantic atmosphere. Outside, the rustic charm of a brick oven smoker wafts fragrant, wood-fired aromas into the crisp evening air, evoking the timeless essence of a European piazza. This picturesque setting provided the perfect backdrop for celebrating our wedding anniversary. Every detail--from the exceptional service to the thoughtfully designed space--enhanced the magic of the moment, making it an occasion to cherish. read more

Our server, Amber, was especially a delight, friendly, attentive and added so much to our dining experience.

We all enjoyed our food. I had the grilled catfish and my wife had the fried chicken sandwich. Our friends had the chili (excellent) and the grilled chicken sandwich. I saw multiple tasty looking entres and deserts being delivered. Try the onion rings, they're superb. Only two negatives. The kitchen was slow but the food was served hot. The catfish was a little over seasoned for my taste. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic Easter brunch at Bellatrix Restaurant. The food was incredibly fresh and so…read moregood--honestly one of the best brunches I've ever been to. The selection was unreal... there was so much to choose from I couldn't even get to everything. Prime rib, lamb, scallops, eggs Benedict, an omelette bar, pasta station, incredible desserts--everything was done perfectly. On top of that, the view is gorgeous and the service was just as impressive--attentive, friendly, and seamless. Could not have been better. Already looking forward to the next one!!! PS.....I heard they got a new kitchen and whatever they did with that resulted in WOW food!!!! Bravo chef!

Makayla and her busser were amazing. Loved the food. Try the short rib appetizer! Impressive wine…read morelist and having dinner with a beautiful golf course as a back drop adds to the ambiance.

Without question, between the food and service, the BEST dining experience I have had in my 50+…read moreyears. Food- incredible. I have eaten in Italy and this was even better. Everything is freshly made in-house and they grow many of their own ingredients. I had calamari, caesar salad and Vinnie's pasta. The chef obviously chases perfection because my meal could not have been prepared any better. Service- if you have an opportunity to be served by Elena, do it! Elena is a PRO! In addition to her culinary expertise, she is a really warm person. We feel as though we made a friend in her! Sit outside in the garden if you can. A beautiful setting. The area is inviting and relaxing. I could go on but I would exhaust my euphemisms. Just go to La Spiga! You're welcome!

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The service and food are both outstanding. We visited…read moreseveral times and have never been disappointed. They offer valet parking and there has plenty of close free parking as well. We enjoyed the lobster tail and ravioli, special, as well as the gnocchi in a chicken Bolognese special. And we highly recommend the chocolate tiramisu cake. It's the bomb!

When you enjoy a dish there and want to have it again rest assured it is the same fabulous taste as your initial time! We have had steaks, pastas, salads ,, pizza and wines and I have loved every dish I tried. The short ribs are luscious . My favorite salad is the beet salad. Always so fresh and so many flavors in one salad! The Pork Chop is excellent too. It's difficult to find a Chef who can get a pork chop just right. This chef nails it everytime!! There is a little area with high top tables Where one can catch a ball game and also one tv in one of the eating areas but they are not at all intrusive. There typically not many children when we are there but when they have been they have been well mannered at very young ages and they make dining fun! I have no negatives which is highly unusual for me (just ask my husband!!)wonderful overall experience. If you want a bit more time between courses just tell your waiter. They are very accommodating!! PS Roy the bartender is really nice and fun. Try it!!

Thanks for the recording in your phone not mentioning that small detail. Apparently this is your thing because I now see a review saying the same thing from 3 years ago! A notice on your website, or phone recording could go a long way. Saw some other customers drive up looking dumbfounded too.
