I went Friday night at about 11. It wasn't busy at all. I went right up to the bar to order a…read moredrink and for some reason had to wait for 45 minutes. The bartender looked like he was sleep walking he was slow. In the middle of all of this waiting a party of four came in and sat down at a table behind me. The guy stopped everything and quickly moved behind the bar to hug one of his friends. He then went back and poured two beers for them and brought them to the table. Then he poured two more and brought those over. All the while I had been there for about a half an hour waiting. I joked with the guy waiting behind me that I don't even want the drink any more but don't want to feel like a quitter. Finally the owner, who had also seen me there, came and took my order and made the bartender get it for me. I left after that. Other than that night my experiences have been great there. They just need to get rid of that bartender. He's AWFUL!

Most recent dining experience is at Il Vigneto but the review could apply to Iron Bar too…read more Executive chef Basarov has been around about a year and has really hit his stride, updating many of the classics with Mediterranean and Latin American themes. Pastry chef Manon is amazingly talented with a wide variety of crave worthy cakes and decadent ice creams & sorbets. (Dec 2022 update: sadly it looks chef manon is moving on; Cordevalle is advertising for a new pastry chef.) French Baguette: some like is soft but I ask for it seared crusty. The aged prosciutto is real Parma and outstanding. Tuna Tartare: a classic and deservedly so. The sweetness of the soy and the spice of the chiles accentuate the tuna. Butternut squash soup: light and delicate and not too creamy. Good crunch from sunflower seeds. So good I got this again. Short Rib: menu says domestic wagyu which might be overkill for slow cooking. Regardless it's very tender. The polenta is a little too cheesy for me. Gnocchi & Truffles: it hasn't been on the menu recently but I beg you to order it if you see it. No description needed - just eat it. Thanksgiving turkey: cooked sous vide which keeps the breast meat moist and tender. The dark meat was shredded and nicely seasoned. Cranberry: listed as cranberry and cinnamon compote. Tastes like it has orange in it as well. I had to taste it 4 or 5 times to make sure. And take some home... Pumpkin pie: holy pumpkin Batman! I'm not obsessed with pumpkin like some are but this was easily the best I've ever had. Outstanding doesn't do it Justice. Pecan pie: with maple and bourbon! Yes this is sweet as pecan pie should be but not cloyingly sugary. The torched marshmallow on top kicks it up another notch. The bar tender makes an excellent Manhattan. There's a good selection of wine. Like everyone who works at cordevalle, the staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. Reminder you're at a high end restaurant at a high end resort so you pay for what you get.

Love this way to start the meal. Next the "taste of the South Bay" seafood platter- oysters, shrimp, and yellowtail carpaccio. Bread course with garlic confit. "Our burrata" pasta-subtle yet spicy. The star dish of the night was the parpadelle with slow braised lamb shank, fava beans, and pecorino. Wow!! loved all the flavors here but especially the differing textures of slow cooked lamb mixed with crispy pieces and fresh fava beans. The service was as impeccable as the food! If you ever have the chance to eat here- do it!

It was nice that downtown wasn't too crowded and Willard Hicks wasn't overly crowded either. Ambience was casual and relaxed. We were seated at a booth and given waters and menus to look over. Ordered a couple of appetizers and then our entrées. APPETIZERS WH CRAB CAKES $20.00 FRESH LUMP CRAB, SWEET PEPPERS, CILANTRO, TARRAGON ON A BED OF BABY ARUGULA, SERVED WITH OUR CHIPOTLE AIOLI. Crab cakes were good and paired well with the salad greens that came with them. Would definitely return just for the crabcakes. COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP $20.00 COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP, SWEET PEPPERS, SCALLIONS. THAI CURRY BROTH, MANGO, MICRO GREENS, PEANUTS. The coconut shrimp were delicious. The coconut crust was crisp and golden brown, cooked to perfection. The broth with the mango and micro greens and peanuts paired very well with the shrimp. I just wish I had a spoon to scoop more of it up. Definitely coming back for this one too. ENTRÉES BLACKBERRY GLAZED FILET MIGNON $60.00 OUR 8OZ CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF FILET MIGNON, BLACKBERRY DEMI GLACE, FIRE ROASTED GRAPES, BLUE CHEESE, SERVED OVER A TRUFFLED PARSNIP PURÉE. This filet mignon was cooked to perfection. It cut perfectly and just melted in your mouth with every bite. The roasted grapes were a pleasant surprise and paired well and the blackberry Demi glaze gave it good flavor. SURF & TURF $78.00 FILET MIGNON, BUTTER-POACHED LOBSTER TAIL, TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, ASPARAGUS, BÉARNAISE SAUCE. The surf and turf entrée was on their Mother's Day special menu. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and it just melted in your mouth with every bite. The tripled mashed potatoes were delicious, and the asparagus was cooked to perfection while having a little bit of crunch to it. DESSERT COOKIES AND FROZEN MILK $10.00 FRESHLY BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, WARM FROM THE OVEN, SERVED WITH A SCOOP OF OUR ICE CREAM. This dessert was a big portion with 2 giant cookies and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cookies were crunchy and had a warm soft center. They paired well with the cookies and drizzle of chocolate. BUTTER CAKE $14.00 WARM BUTTER CAKE, FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM. Butter cake was good and paired well with strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Customer service not bad, however, it could have been better.

They just weren't checking in on us. Granted we were in the corner near the entrance and kind of tucked away which was nice. The place also was not busy as it was 530 on a Sunday with plenty of open tables. But near the end, they seem to be more attentive. There's lots of parking nearby on the street and in a covered parking lot where you could charge up your car if you needed to. And easily assessable if you were in a wheelchair.

We chose to sit inside, and the atmosphere was elegant, calm, and relaxing. The outdoor patio looked just as inviting, with plenty of flowers, lots of natural light, and a breezy, airy ambiance that would be perfect for a leisurely lunch or dinner. The menu was fantastic--honestly, everything looked delicious and it was hard to decide! I ordered the Noah's Special Pasta, which was absolutely incredible. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and every bite was delicious. My friend ordered one of the salads, which was fresh, beautifully presented, and equally impressive. What really completed the experience was the service. Everyone we encountered was genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Overall, Noah's Bistro exceeded my expectations. Between the beautiful atmosphere, outstanding food, and exceptional service, it's an easy 5-star experience. I can't wait to come back!

The service was good, it was brunch on a weekend so that is saying something. The ambiance is sort of strip mall meets diner with an outdoor patio.

Another sign states that Betsy's has been serving this community since 1981. I was greeted immediately upon entering and advised to "just sit anywhere." I grabbed the first booth I encountered and was brought water and menu right away. The waitress took my order of a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings ($16.50). A few minutes later the onion rings of my dreams (super crispy on the outside and a real onion rings inside with enough crunch left that you can bite through without dragging a soggy onion out of its outer shell, so each mouthful is both onion and crunchy coating) arrived and a sandwich with crispy (not soggy, underdone) bacon, hefty burger patty (done just how I like them with carmelized edges and perfectly done thick center) with cheese, pickles, red onions, lettuce and mayo. I asked them to leave off the tomato due to my food allergies. The bun was soft but held up well to the heft of the sandwich. The decor was classic 60's style diner. While the seats were well padded and the covering looked practically new, some of the tables showed the wear of the years on the corners. There is also a short lunch counter next to the kitchen. What really caught my attention is the staff seemed to know most of the guests and greeted them by name as they came and went and inquired into different aspects of their lives. This personal touch reflects what seems to be a long-time relationship with dedicated customers. Parking is close to the door. This place was a little hard for me to find as it is behind the bowling alley at Tennant Station Shopping center, but was well worth the effort to locate and enjoy. I will be returning in the future!!

The ambience is pretty nice, they have nice animal pictures throughout the restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a full walk up or sit down bar, and TV's. 3 stars. #3. The service was fantastic, glasses constantly being refilled, asked us if we wanted more bread and butter and our server made some great recommendations "5 Stars" The Food: #1. They gave us 2 nice warm bread rolls with a room temperature salted butter cube. The bread at first tasted salty but then my palate caught up and oh snap! this bread was good!! 5 Stars! #2. The server recommended the beef Wellington. "I ordered it med rare, it came to me med rare" it comes with mashed potatoes and longstem broccoli with cherry tomatoes, and a wine/vinegar reduction for the Wellington. The broccoli had a nice crispness to it and were seasoned perfectly, the cherry tomatoes added some brightness. The mashed potatoes were silky smooth and paired perfectly with the Wellington. NOW THE BEEF WELLINGTON: OH MY .....GOSH!!! My eyes rolled back into my head, it was so good!! The beef was as soft as butter, I could have used a butter knife to cut it (not kidding) and it melted in my mouth. The seasoning with the dough and the spinach with the mushrooms inside nearly caused a wet dream (if you get my point) "and don't even get me started on their reduction sauce for the Wellington!" The waiter walked up to me and smiled and said "and I quote"... gives you goosebumps, right? Oh he knew, HE KNEW!! 5++++ Stars! #3. Wifey ordered the Grilled Salmon salad. She ate the Salmon so fast that I barely had a chance to taste it. She said she really liked it, now I did get a chance to taste the salad and I must say that it was so good that it could have been a stand alone dish. Again 5 Stars. #4. And for dessert we had tiramisu. It came plated beautifully with a raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, whipped cream, and a beautiful orchid flower. The flavor while not the best I've had was still pretty darn good 4 Stars. Overall food and dining experience at the restaurant easily hits 5 stars! Total bill for said food - tip $124 pricewise I felt it was well worth it. Oh I will be back!

Positives - have never had a bad meal. The food was good…read more Negatives - The service was very slow and our server seemed like he didn't care very much about being our waiter. He came to our table just after we were seated and before we had a chance to look at anything. Stood there looking annoyed as we scrambled to look at the menu for drinks and appetizers. We very quickly told him we would need a few minutes. The few minutes though turned into 10-15 before he came back to take our order. The appetizer took an extremely long amount of time to get to table. The young man who brought it wasn't our server and did not check to see if we needed anything else. When our waiter eventually came back with our cocktails. He just held them out to the nearest person and made us pass them down the table. Eventually after another long wait, our meals arrived. Server nowhere to be found. By this time our first drinks and waters were empty. Server didn't come by for quite awhile after. Some of our party asked for more drinks and water. We never got more water. Server never came by mid meal to ask how we were doing. If we needed anything else. I would've ordered another drink if I had a shred of confidence that it would've been delivered before I finished my meal. Speaking of the cocktail. YOU DO NOT MUDDLE THE CHERRIES IN AN OLD FASHIONED. It was just a mash of fruit floating around at the bottom of the glass. We finally saw our server again when he came by to ask if we wanted desert. He dropped off the menus and then disappeared for another 10+ minutes. At which point I had to go find him to inform him that we wanted to order dessert since we were celebrating my father's birthday. When the other young man brought our desserts we had to ask for new plates and clean utensils. We again had to ask for more water since it wasn't brought when previously asked for. Our server then eventually showed up for the check. He told us the first card didn't go through. He did not do this quietly or with tact. He came back after the second card didn't go through. We did not get any banking notifications about these and inquired if perhaps their system was the problem. It wasn't until the third card didn't go through that he admitted they were trying to fix the problem on their end. He did not apologize. We've dined at this restaurant multiple times a year for several years. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had here. If you care at all about the service you pay for then I would suggest you avoid this restaurant. Very disappointed. Next time we'll be dining elsewhere.

The family run establishment offers a wide variety of dishes with generous portions. The server was friendly and helpful in recommending options. We picked the Chorizo Skillet and Chile Verde Omelet. The Chorizo Skillet: This was a huge plate. They offer choices for egg preparation, potato type, and either tortillas (flour or corn) or toast. The added vegetables were a nice touch. I enjoyed the skillet. Chilie Verde Omelet: Another huge serving! The chile verde was cooked to perfection (they specialize in chili verde) and was overflowing with sauce. The plate came with a large portion of beans that were yummy! This plate comes with choice of toast or tortillas. Not sure if the tortillas are homemade, but they were really good. The only drawbacks were the somewhat slow service and the prices, which are a bit high. However, the generous portion sizes compensate for the cost. Visiting this place is recommended if you're ever in San Martin.
