Yall! This is a must-visit, drink, and/or eat place! From incredible service to delicious drinks and decadent food, it’s unmatched!! As an audiologist, I also truly appreciated the noise-level – they have soundproofing under their marble tables and up on the ceiling…it made the atmosphere even better! And our server, Megan, was just so personable and helpful, with recommendations and fun sprinkled in while not being overbearing on my husband’s and my planned date night there. I can’t recommend this place more and we’ll definitely be back!!

This is a cute little restaurant with great Goat cheese and beet salad and eggplant parm. Yummy! I will definitely go back! The dessert was homemade and very yummy! Try the apple strudel or the lemon and blueberry crusted dessert! Both excellent!

Had a reservation to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary and it was fantastic! We were seated immediately and had an amazing server (Amaya). The food was excellent: calamari, Italian wedge salad, Lasagna Bolognese, Grandma’s Sunday Gravy and Espresso Cheesecake. We ordered a bottle of champagne as well. We will definitely be back. Great place to celebrate a special occasion and the prices weren’t so high that you couldn’t enjoy a normal dinner out here either.

Wow Chef John is amazing. Even comes out to check on the food and he even served us. The meatballs and sausage in the Sunday gravy were top notch quality. New Yrs eve the braised short ribs were sooo tender. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. Service impeccable. This is by far the best Italian food in this area.

This is my new favorite place… What hidden gem
Our server was professional and very knowledgeable
Food was spot on, one of the BEST lamb dishes I’ve had in years !! Homemade rolls, mussels perfect balance of savory and heat. Fish was light and fresh tasting
Wish we saved room for desert

My husband and I just had dinner here. Not only was the food and cocktails amazing, but Peyton, our server, was one of the best servers we have ever had. He was attentive, full of great recommendations, and had the best personality. I highly recommend you check out this restaurant and I hope you are lucky enough to be in Peyton’s section!!

My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary here. This was our first visit but we will definitely be back. Everything was amazing and our waiter, Payton, made our night. From the moment we sat down we were treated like family. The gnocchi and flounder were delicious and the lemon tart just completed the evening. Payton even created a 24 out of the oil and vinegar dip for us!

Our monthly lunch meeting turned out to be here at Encore Ristorante this past Saturday. There was 6 of us, and every dish we tried was delicious, from the calamari frito misto, the chicken marsala, the open faced shitt rob sandwich to the crab and lobster bisque. We had such a great experience that we ended up asking for the chef to thank him for such a succulent food.

First time visiting this wonderful restaurant. They are open for lunch now so since we are primarily lunch people we thought we would check it out. Extremely happy we did! We were immediately greeted with warm smiles and happy faces! Great beginning that continued with attentive service and delicious food!
We began our adventure with a Louis Jadot Chardonnay and a Red Oak. Moved on to the Grilled Octopus and Crispy Artichoke Hearts! Next was a Caesar Salad that I bravely ordered with the complimentary White Anchovies! Final course was Eggplant Parmigiana with spaghetti and Shrimp Scampi served on Tuxedo pasta!
We will be back!

Exceptional service with great attention from each person on the staff, all are warm and welcoming. We enjoyed great cocktails and had the calamari served hot and lightly fried and delicious with the Italian wedge salad. The salad was dressed well either a Gorgonzola dressing. We enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna bolognese and chicken Marsala. The chocolate chess pie was a great dessert!
