Nice Italian restaurant in Alpharetta. Appetizers were good. The crab bisque soup was also good. The peppered chicken Alfredo was delicious. I was told the steaks were also good. Get the Baileys coffee cake after dinner and you can thank me later.

Had dinner from Rena’s Italian Fishery & Grill. Excellent service, a wide variety of delicious dishes, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food is fresh and flavorful, with standout options like the seafood and handmade pastas. A perfect spot for a cozy dinner or special occasion—highly recommend!

Our first time here.. We came to celebrate our son’s birthday and it was a great experience. My husband and I both ordered the same pepper chicken Alfredo dish. It was a lot to eat and delicious! Our son got the lobster ravioli and he loved it. The service, drinks and dessert were excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

We were seated immediately upon arrival for our reservation, which was a great start. Our server—Christi, I believe—was absolutely outstanding: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food came out quickly and was packed with flavor. There are plenty of gluten-free options, which we really appreciated. My girlfriend said the pesto was the best she’s ever had, and she raved about the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The calamari came in a generous portion and was perfectly cooked. To top it all off, we had a butterscotch crème brûlée that completely knocked it out of the park. An unforgettable meal from start to finish.

Amazing food, the lamb chops with broccolini is top notch but you have to try their butterscotch creme brulee, top 3 I've ever had and had theirs twice. Good wine selection with plenty og French options to pair with the meal

Very crowded so make a reservation, but worth the effort! Excellent service and food. We will return to try more if the menu items.

Excellent wine selection. The scallops appetizer was quite good - balanced and hearty, and the scallops had a great sear. The lobster ravioli was stuffed with lobster and the goat cheese sauce was tangy and rich. The bruschetta is killer! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with lowered lighting and comfortable chairs with backs at the bar and high tops. The room doesn't get too loud, even when full. The standout of the night was Dani's service, which was the gold standard of hospitality. She was genuine and warm, checked in often, and made great recommendations. Ask for Dani!!

I had a very poor opinion of this place after my first visit. Poor service, food and drink. That all changed last night. We were greeted by our OUTSTANDING server, Alex, and she was amazing throughout the entire evening. So personable, knowledgeable and hard working. I had the grouper per her recommendation and it was delicious. Husband had the trout and loved every bite. 1 star off for atmosphere as it was LOUD but everything else was so perfect! We will definitely be back!!

My family and I have eaten here several times and the service is always excellent. The menu choices are great and the portions are quite filling. It's always a treat whenever we go there. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First time in on a Friday night. Exceeded my expectations. The service was 5 stars by itself. From start to finish! Our server was very tentative. I had the chicken piccata which isn't on the menu but they had veal piccata so I asked if I could substitute. No hesitation and it didn't miss! If you are looking for some amazing Italian food, give this place a try! You won't regret it

The restaurant is very pretty inside. I would definitely classify this upscale casual. My parents have been there several times and we got together for the holidays so we went. We got several of their signature dishes even my nephews enjoyed their pasta vodka. The only reasons that I'm giving them a four out of five stars is some of the flavors and seasonings were a little around the board. I feel that they over, seasoned some of the dishes to the point where I had to wipe some of the seasoning off of my steak with my fork. I did get the 14 ounce strip. It was good. I asked for a medium. It did come out a bit medium rare, but that's to be expected they were very busy. I know that people like to put broccolini on their menus, but if you're not gonna cook the stems all the way through and they could be difficult to cut just cut half of them off for presentation sake, and to speed up the cooking. When I go back to Atlanta and visit my parents again if they want to go to Rent A's, I would definitely be back to go. I do have to say our server was excellent. She was about 50 years old and was very patient very understanding, especially when dealing with so many people in such big tables and the holiday season

Absolutely phenomenal. The entire experience. Came here for my birthday with a group of 6. They have a ton of gluten free options. The cocktails were amazing, I got the basil martini and it was different but amazing and I would order again! All of the entrees came out correctly and were delicious. Lots of gluten free desserts as well. I will be back!

Amazing food, friendly staff, and great ambiance. I had the gnocchi primavera which was delicious with tomatoes and vegetables. My husband had the pork chops which he said were delicious and the portion was so large he had to take half home. Excellent food and energetic atmosphere. Parking is a pain and we drive around a while before finding a spot. Service was great too! Great place for seafood, specially pasta and pork chops! The tiramisu was the best!!! Will be back!

Very appealing ambiance with comfortable seating and weirdly perfect lighting. Good choice for a special night. The service stood out, particularly the informed opinions in the upsell for wine pairings. We began with a selection of appetizers like the calamari, bruschetta, and meatballs. No complaints about any of it... but those meatballs were pretty standout. The accompanying bread was also a notable addition. For the main course, the salmon was perfectly prepared, complemented by a side of pasta. I got some spinach as well... which was oddly something I vividly remember enjoying. The cocktails were well-crafted and tasty. If they have the bread pudding, get it. It tasted distinctly fresh avoiding any hint of being reheated. Great place for dinner. It's a big open space so intimate conversations might be a little harder.

One of our local favorites - consistent food, friendly service, and a nice ambiance whether inside or outside. I recommend the lobster ravioli or chicken parm - free bread is always a plus as well

GREAT food. GREAT service. Our fourth visit but we won't be back if the parking situation remains. Valet parking charged us to park AND expected a tip as we were boldly told by the valet driver.

I attended a wedding rehearsal dinner here (technically Upstairs at Rena's) and was pleasantly surprised! We found easy parking in the lot in front, although there was also valet available. There must have been close to 80-100 people, and when we arrived, we enjoyed drinks at the bar while mingling before sitting down for dinner. Dinner included 2 options for an appetizer (caesar salad or chicken noodle soup), some mains (meat ravioli, a meat dish, and a fish dish), and then several little desserts at a dessert table (cannoli's, tiramisu, and ricotta cheese cake). Everything was tasty, and the service was great! Bathrooms were very clean, although only 2 stalls made for a bit of a wait at times. All in all, I felt that the venue was great for a rehearsal dinner!

Karyn B.

Yelp
The food is so delicious especially the gnocchi Primavera(I order it every time)! My friend, loved the mushroom ravioli, and hubby enjoyed seafood, cannelloni. The beet salad was delicious. And our waiter AJ was so awesome. Very attentive. Checked in on us all the time even though they were very busy.

Lobster ravioli all time, every time. Come for the lobster ravioli, stay for more lobster ravioli! Nice atmosphere for a special night of Italian feasting. Lighting is low, one might even say romantic. A solid spot for that special someone or a celebratory dinner out.

I live out of town and it's been a few months since visiting Rena's but remember the occasion well. The upstairs bar had been the venue for my niece's rehearsal dinner and all went well! The space was perfect size for what seemed like 100 guest and the bar staff was able to keep everyone happy with adult refreshments in a short order. However, the bonus that a family member and I greatly appreciated was asking to serve us dinner downstairs in the main dining room and bar...and only about 10 minutes before closing at 11p. We were prepared to hear the kitchen was closed but the staff gladly encouraged us to sit and produced one of the most delish pasta and cream sauce with bounty from the sea...was pretty much the works with a good wine to boot! So I give Rena's Five Stars for making the whole night an out of the ordinary experience for us

I booked this about 6 weeks or so in advance for an early Friday evening reservation. They are located a few blocks south of downtown Alpharetta, in a small plaza of various businesses. The plaza surrounds its parking lots. There seemed to be some valet parking, but there was also plenty of self-parking (at least when we arrived around 6 p.m.; it may get more crowded later). We were greeted and promptly shown to our table. The staff was uniformly friendly and efficient. The layout was basically a single large brick-walled space, but the noise level wasn't too bad. The bar and wine display cooler takes up one corner. They seemed to be fairly busy when we were there; I assume reservations are a must. There were also some patio tables outside - maybe 5 or 6, I think. The menu is mainly pastas and seafood, along with a few other options. My wife got the trout and liked it. My mushroom ravioli was good as well. We each got a small side salad, which were not tiny. We also split a chocolate dessert, which we enjoyed. The wine was reasonably priced and they appeared to have a good selection. Pricing was in line with the fine dining vibe, but the place wasn't super-formal. It was a good value for what you get. I enjoyed our meal here and would be happy to dine here again.

I am always in the mood for Italian food, even if I don't think I am. Rena's is located in the new(ish) development - The Maxwell - in downtown Alpharetta right off Main Street. It has a beautiful interior and an industrial, modern aesthetic with gorgeous light fixtures and lots of seating options. Service was fantastic, and our waitress made sure to explain all the specials and offered plenty of recommendations when we weren't sure where to start. Complimentary bread is offered for the table, and the menu does have a variety of antipasta (apps) and salads to start with, and I chose to go with a caprese salad. I give it a 10/10 just for the freshness. I actually ordered an antipasta for my main course, and I'm glad I did because it was plenty of food! The shrimp and scallop scampi dish was top notch and the scallops were seared to absolute perfection. It has a lemon white wine sauce and comes paired with yummy and crunchy garlic toast. I chose to add pasta for a small extra fee and they even let you choose what type of noodle. I went fettuccine because it seemed great for a scampi. They do accept reservations and also offer takeout, but no delivery. Definitely recommend making a reservation. I didn't save enough room for dessert, but will be back for some seasonal gelato and cheesecake.

I met a couple of colleagues here recently for a dinner and everything was great. The bread is delicious, for starters. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the service was fantastic. My favorite type of server is one who is attentive without being pesky. Especially for a business dinner meeting, this is an important factor for me. The food was very good and I would certainly eat here again.

5 Stars for a great ambiance and tasty Italian food in a beautifully done dining/shopping center. I was in town and able to grab a reservation for dinner at Rena's Italian Fishery & Grill in Alpharetta. Right of the bat, I was impressed with the center where the restaurant is located. It's clearly newly developed and had some really cute shops, restaurants, and even a Pilates studio. Another plus- plenty of parking. As we were seated, we commented on the dim lighting and atmosphere- it feels like a good spot for a date! Our sever, Citlali, got us set up with drinks. I wasn't drinking alcohol that night, so I'll have to return to try the espresso martinis I keep reading about! We ended up ordering a Caprese salad to share and I opted for a mushroom ravioli. The Caprese was stacked high and came with plenty of fresh basil and balsamic glaze. We were offered pepper and I would highly recommend this addition to play off of the sweet and acidic glaze. My mushroom ravioli came with a creamy sauce and I was sure I wouldn't eat more than a third of it given the portion size, but I truly had to stop myself from devouring every last bite. It was rich and worth repeating. Overall, a solid meal with a great ambiance and friendly service!

I've been twice. Both times were great experiences. Lovely service, beautiful ambiance, and lovely environment for a tasty Italian meal. Go ahead and start off with that bread service. I've enjoyed the sea bass, trout, spinach, mashed potatoes and the tiramisu! It's definitely worth a stop.

We chose Rena's to take our daughters parents for a night out! From the reservation to our greeting when we walked in and our server, it was fantastic in every aspect! Our server was awesome and we will ask for Alex everytime! She made everyone feel welcome and special! Her bright and personality made the dinner that much more! And the food was fantastic ! The grouper was perfect as well as the steak over risotto! We could not have asked for a better evening! Thank you, Rena's!

My husband and I had a date night at Rena's and had a lovely meal. We made reservations on a Friday at 7:30 but were able to get seated at 6:45 outside. I definitely recommend reservations if you'd like indoor seating. Our waitress Megan was extremely helpful, and attentive throughout the meal. We started off with the burrata and bread which was delicious. To drink I had a Pinot noir that was recommended and my husband had a beer. For our main course my husband got the rib-eye and mashed potatoes and I got the seafood cannelloni, both very good. The steak was a tad over cooked but the mashed potatoes was 10/10. For dessert we shared the mouse stack which was 9/10, the only thing I'd change was the hardness of the brownie. Overall a great meal with great service!

Food is good, Caesar salad was large with a lite dressing and lots of cheese. My lasagna was disappointing and I had to send it back. Multi layer but so dense it was dry and burnt on the edges. They removed it from the check and offered something else but it was too late. Deserts were good, coffee cake with ice cream I recommend and tiramisu was tasty and beautiful. My friends liked their chicken parmigiana and the Alfredo Caio Pepe.. noise level was high but it was Saturday night full house.

One of the best value restaurants I have eaten at in a long time. If you would have just showed me a plate of food from there, I would think it is double the price. It was excellent food, very well made and delicious, and a good portion for a low-ish price. We started with a calamari appetizer. It was incredible. The sauces they served with it was delectable and the breading on the clamari was crisp, perfectly seasoned, and coated the entire calamari. It was also so large we did not finish it for fear we wouldn't want anything else! I got the steak for an entrée and it was cooked to the perfect temperature. It also was seasoned perfectly. The salads were also unique, well combined ingredients, and fresh produce makes them a wonderful option. We also had some incredible service. Lastly, the drinks were made with perfection. We went off menu and the bartenders did not miss a beat. We will certainly be back many times.

I had a latte, stuffed mushrooms, calamari, and veal Marsala. The food was unmatched - this will be one of my go to places moving forward for Italian. The ambiance and service is some of the best I have received in the Alpharetta area.

Absolutely yummy. We came on a Sunday night without reservations thinking it would be okay... we were mistaken. The restaurant was PACKED with a wait time of 20-25 minutes. (We ended up sitting in a crowded bar to eat because we were getting hangry). FOOD: We could not choose which meals to get so we ended up getting: potato crusted sea bass, veal (with Alfredo) and the wild boar bolognese. 10/10! The food came out within 15 minutes and everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Even though we were stuffed, we decided to order the butterscotch creme brûlée which was also so tasty! (as I am writing this review 2 days later, my mouth is watering again). SERVICE: the 2 bartenders were so attentive and engaging. They were incredibly busy but never served without a smile on their faces. Our waters were always filled and we were asked if we were okay about 3-6 times in the 1 hour time slot we were there. AMBIANCE: I wish that the lower level were a bit bigger to accommodate bigger parties. There is an upstairs where people can hold larger parties/weddings/etc (their website states minimum:$3000 needed for food purchase). I did appreciate that there was no music in the restaurant as the noise would be unbearable. The decor and vibe of this restaurant was very chic (not as "Italian family style" as they advertise themselves to be). There is a kitchen that is visible to patrons + it is very clear special attention is placed on each dish. We will DEFINITELY be coming back-- to try other items ... but this time making a reservation.

Rena's Italian Fishery & Grill is a fantastic, upscale choice for dining with surprisingly more affordable options than other restaurants of similar caliber. * Initial thoughts: As aforementioned, the place has a fairly upscale vibe, dimly lit, and upon entering you're greeted with a huge wine wall that definitely adds to the atmosphere. It was packed (We went on a Saturday night) and they had some spots to sit down but even these were all taken up. We weren't waiting too long as we had a reservation - we were there just a tad early. * Service Our server - Steve - was fantastic and genuinely enjoyed being there. He brought so much personality to the night that honestly, I wouldn't want to be served by anyone else. He had fantastic recommendations that were spot on and was very attentive with his service and was passionate about nearly everything. I wish we could've talked with him more but it was a very bust night. * Food: The food was great! As an appetizer, we ordered the fried mozzarella medallions which I had assumed would be essentially cheese sticks. While similar, these were of higher quality and fairly filling. You get a total of 5 (see pics). 6 would have been better to make sharing for two easier but that's nit-picky. The best part was they didn't "feel" greasy/oily and I didn't feel gross after eating them. From this moment I knew they use quality ingredients. For our main courses, I ordered the gnocchi primavera which is both vegetarian & vegan. It came with zucchini, brocollini, tomatoes, and portabella mushrooms mixed in with it. It was pretty good, but I didn't think the dish was cohesive enough - maybe I should've asked for some pomodoro to mix in with it. I'm sure with their level of service, they would've accommodated. My girlfriend ordered the Cinghiali Wild Boar Bolognese. She enjoyed it just fine. It wasn't outstanding but she did like it. Nothing much else to note otherwise. * Drinks We ordered 3 drinks total, 2 different types. The had a limoncello mule which we weren't too fond of honestly. The drink was crafted well but I suppose we both aren't real fans of Limoncello which was a bummer since I love mules. However, I also ended up ordering two Amaretto Sours (which isn't featured on their drink menu) but these were the best Amaretto Sours I've EVER had. It was legitimately sour so if you're a fan of sour flavours, I implore you to order one (or 3!). Topped w/luxardo cherries, it was perfection. I'd honestly come here for these alone. Lastly, for dessert we ordered the Coffee Cake (it has Bailey's Irish Creme mixed into the cake) w/Vanilla Gelato accompaniment. We probably shouldn't have because at this point we were stuffed, but it was fantastic. Definitely a must-try option if it's your first time here. * Summary Rena's Italian Fisher & Grill is a great, upscale place perfect for a date night or a night out with some close friends. The vibe and atmosphere is nice, the service from Steve was FANTASTIC and they have an eye for quality. Drinks were made great, the entrees were a little underwhelming but the appetizer and dessert made up for it. Definitely a must-go and be sure to get an Amaretto Sour if it's your type of drink!

We made a reservation for a large party over the weekend. We arrived early with our party which consisted of babies and hungry toddlers only to be told that we would not be able to be seated because the hostess misunderstood the number of people for the reservation. We were given no other choice but to order to go which was very sub par. Being an elite yelp member, making a reservation with children is not something that would mistakenly be off by 4 extra people. Therefore, I highly believe the hostess just simply did not listen to what was being asked and as a result it costed us. We won't be doing take out here and needless to say, definitely not dining her again. We were excited to bring friends here but it is not worth it. There was no remorse shown to us and we would much rather take our business somewhere that makes us feel important.

We were a large party, great apps,loved the calamari. Had the wild boar with noodles. Scratch house making own pasta. Great dinner.

The food is amazing!! Service is on point and the ambiance is perfect for this restaurant. My daughters and I had a girls day and decided to go to try this restaurant and we were so happy we did. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms and the bruschetta for appetizers and we were not disappointed!! They were delicious. We also ordered Lobster Ravioli, Mushroom Ravioli with Filet, Shrimp and Grits, and Chicken Alfredo. One amazing thing about the Lobster Ravioli is the amount of Lobster on it, it was just delicious!! We can't wait to go back. Everything was delicious and fresh made.

Came here on a weeknight with my mom and we were seated immediately. The service was great and friendly for sure. We ordered a drink to share, but honestly it wasn't good. The calamari we ordered as a starter though was a perfect crispiness . For my main I had this mushroom ravioli type of dish. It was delectable! My only qualm with this place is that you can feel the excess amount of butter they use. Butter makes it tasty yes, but I felt at the point of being oily.

We went here for a 14th bday dinner...party of 7! As would only be appropriate, we began the dinner with dessert and then moved on to appetizers. Bailey's coffee cake: it had good flavor, wasn't too sweet and had a good crunch on the top. Served with ice cream! Mussels: they needed the sauce to bring the flavor, and there was plenty of sauce to spoon over it. It was a huge serving, so if you're one person this would be an entree serving. Wedge salad: delicious! Bacon was nice and crispy! Halibut: Two ppl ordered it and the consensus was just okay. Both wanted the grouper but it was out so they each got halibut. One says it was not seasoned well. The other says that the sauce was necessary to give it flavor. The cheese melted over the asparagus as too much and chilled to the extent that it was kind of just a block of cheese on top of the veggies. Mushroom ravioli: so very well made and tasty but very salty. I really love mushroom ravioli so i was really excited about this but it was so salty I couldn't finish it. Alfredo: Two ppl ordered it (ages 10 and 12, important info). They both thought it was good but too peppery (even though one of them typically likes spice). From what I gathered they didn't like that it had some peppercorn pieces rather than it being completely ground up. Kids Mac and cheese: our waitress warned me that this had heavy cheeses and she was very right!! (See my pic of the cheese pulling with the noodles). My toddler loved it!! The experience was great! Every staff member was pleasant. Several of them stopped to interact with our youngest (who are 1 and 3), and our waitress Noelle was the best!! She was attentive, upbeat, and full of information and suggestions for us first timers. The little people were all super impressed that she boxed up their food at the end of the meal. I took the remaining roasted potatoes (which were very well made and salted for the potato lover in me) along with the remaining sauce from my ravioli. I made a breakfast scramble the next morning using them. It was tasty but I should've skipped the mushroom sauce; it was still WAY too salty! This is far far far from home for us but we may return.

Rena's is owned by the same owner of Crust and has amazing food and even better service. APPS: I have never had such delicious crab bisque (with huge chunks of crab) or crab cakes (it's the red sauce that makes it spectacular). I loved the cranberry raisin complimentary bread bowl- make sure to ask for it since it isn't offered by default. MAINS: The lobster ravioli was the dish I was dying to try when I made the reservation and it was unfortunately my least favorite. It was filled with some cheese that ruined the whole taste of the pasta...something between a goat/bleu? The bolognese, though was really, really good. Cooked al dente (although a bit thick cut) with fresh, delicious sauce. Overall, I would definitely come again. We are eyeing the chicken parm and mussels!!

I've been hearing quite a few good things about Rena's Italian Fishery and Grill so a few of us decided we need to give it a try. So we headed over to Alpharetta (where I use to live) for a nice Sunday afternoon Italian meal. Alpharetta has been doing a lot of transformation in the downtown area and Rena's is a fantastic addition to this now very trendy area. A very open floor plan with a warm and cozy decor. The lighting highlights the nice wooden tables and chairs. We ordered 2 appetizers for the table. The meatballs and ricotta in a traditional pomodoro sauce was delicious. And the Shrimp and Scallop Scampi resting in the lemon and white wine sauce was amazing. Soft, tender and just melted in your mouth. I asked for extra bread just to soak up the extra juice. Lol Top notch on both the Wedge and Rena's Beet salad! Both were so fresh, colorful and wonderful. Every bite was a crunch of deliciousness! I don't have many pictures of main entrées because of the 5 of us, 4 ordered the Potato Crusted Sea Bass. So just one pic, lol. But it was prepared perfectly. Crusted with shredded potato's and soft tender and flaky flavorful on the inside. Our server was amazing! Never an empty water glass, extensive menu knowledge and was very happy to answer any questions you had. I personally like to engage with the servers. And ask their opinions on cocktails, appetizers, entrées and desserts. She was very knowledgeable and we went with her recommendations. All were excellent choices. This is a must visit restaurant! You will be glad you did. A excellent dining experience. Thank you Rena's for a great meal and wonderful evening.

The experience last night with Rena's was so interesting. Our server, Renee, was just off. She seemed like she was on something. The food was perfectly fine, but Rebecca messed up the splitting of the bill. We went to the bar for an after dinner drink, and Rebecca came over to let me know she had screwed up my bill by charging me too much. Again, she seemed to be on something. My credit card was still showing both charges so o asked for the manager. Then the GM came over, and I can honestly say I have never encountered a more negative and bitter human being. He should not be in the service industry. He told us to trust him that I wouldn't be double charged. He was belittling and condescending and rude. He also said Rena would agree and back up his bad behavior. So sad because I used to love this restaurant. Culture has gone down hill.

Haven't had a bad dish there yet! Customer service is always top tier! The lights are nice and dim with music that's not too loud so you can still hear your table!

The service was excellent and the bread that they serve is an experience in and of itself. I had the chicken Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo on the side, and I highly recommend it.

The service has been great every time we've been. The food is high quality. I had the mushroom ravioli and the cream sauce was very rich. Crab cakes are delicious and we had an almond dessert special which was our favorite. Our only issue is that it is very loud in the restaurant and hard to hold a conversation.

We decided to venture out of Midtown and check out Alpharetta. We are so pleased that we found Rena's we loved the food so much and the service was impeccable! We sat outside last night. The weather was perfect and the entire dining experience was exceptional. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Also I ended with an espresso martini and it was probably one of the best I've had in Atlanta!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! Food, ambience, service was all phenomenal. Me and the wife don't live in Alpharetta but this is worth the 50 min drive! I could've licked the plate clean cause it was so darn delicious. Our waitress was super kind and sweet. Discussed the specials with us and even made sure we had waters to go! Overall 10 outta 10 I'll grub here again!!

This is a hidden gem in downtown Alpharetta from the owners of Crust. Their food is delicious and it's a fun atmosphere for dinner with friends. Definitely want to try more things on the menu but I love their chicken Marsala and the antipasto board. Dessert is great too. It is a little loud but they have some outdoor seating.

The food was delicious and was a great experience. We staff was on point and the head chef even came out to ask how I liked my meal. I had the lasagna and the Barata Will definitely go again .

I'm o-fish-ally hooked! Hubs and I came here for date night on a Sunday. We checked their website for reservations and saw that they were wide open for Sunday evening. Had difficulty making a reservation online, so we called and that was a breeze. We asked for a 6PM reservation. We arrived 20 minutes early and were greeted warmly. They were able to seat us right away. The place was already busy, but not quite full yet. It didn't take long to fill up the space though. Our server was wonderful and attentive. We asked to move to another table after finishing our appetizer and she accommodated us without hesitation. We tried the following: Espresso martini Seared scallops on risotto medallions $15 Lobster ravioli $20 Grouper $26 Butterscotch creme brulee $8 The meal started with an assortment of bread with a side of butter. The bread was nice and soft. Followed by the seared scallops on risotto medallions appetizer. Perfectly pan-seared scallops placed on fried risotto medallions, topped with sauteed arugula and crispy pancetta. Hubs ordered the lobster ravioli as his entree, which is a squid ink pasta stuffed with minced lobster meat and herbs, tossed in a lobster sherry cream sauce. It was rich and tasty. I chose the grouper, which was pan-seared and topped with a lemon white wine sauce and chose asparagus as my side. The grouper was also perfectly pan-seared and seasoned. The butterscotch creme brulee was hard to resist. Rich and decadent butterscotch custard, topped with a crisp caramelized sugar layer. What more could you ask for? Everything was excellent, from start to finish. I enjoyed the espresso martini so much I ordered two! It was slightly creamy and frothy with a hint of sweetness. We thought the prices were reasonable, especially for the portions, quality and not to mention the fantastic service! We will definitely be back.
