"I have dined here about a half dozen times. The food is great. The service is not. I was surprised to hear that anyone had good service here because I consistently have had slow, inattentive or down right rude service here. We go back because it's convenient and we work very close by, but our last experience we stood for more than 8 minutes waiting to be acknowledged, the server who finally came over was downright rude. We saw her drop things from someone's table and kick those things across the room. We finally got seated and waited another 15 minutes for someone to come to the table. Their patio had people out there but there was no one inside but it looked like they had only 2 servers working. Our sandwiches did not come with any pasta salad or anything on the side like they used to and our table was missing the two non-alcoholic beverages that were ordered until half way through the meal. My advice is to try Brelundi, perhaps you will have a different experience than we have had. If you like Italian food, the food is worth the wait. The bread is delicious, the pasta and sandwiches and salads are great. Just be aware that your service may be extremely slow, they will forget items and may be rude to you. Also, any time we have gone (at lunch time) I was berated and not seated for not having a reservation so I now make sure I call and make reservations before attempting to go there or we get take out."

"I may be old-fashioned, but I believe that a diner should never have to ask for their water glass to be refilled. And if they do have to ask, it should be done quickly so they don't have to wait while their meal gets cold. Unfortunately, this particular Ruth's Chris Steak House fell short in several areas. The bathroom was dirty, the light fixtures were cracked, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was unusually dark compared to other Ruth's locations I have visited. Overall, the experience was mediocre. It was good, but not great, which is what I have come to expect from Ruth's Chris."

"overall had an excellent family dinner. consistent good food and service. lively, comfortable atmosphere. kellner was freendly and had a good sense of humor. a few little bits. they sat our party of four on a table set for six, and then began to chairs and servier pieces one after what was a little unprofessional. we also ordered the ribeye and the brittle sprouts. twice our waiter came back to inform us that the ribeye was sold out and then the brittle sprouts were sold out. we have to order this. A pity that a steakhouse will get out of ribeye on a Saturday night at 19 o'clock!"

"Osterio ist sicherlich ein gutes Restaurant, aber insgesamt waren wir aus mehreren Gründen enttäuscht. Bei jedem Kurs war einer von uns enttäuscht von dem, was serviert wurde. Ich begann mit dem Caprese-Salat, aber anstatt saftige Erbstücktomaten zu verwenden, verwendete das Gericht kleine Kirschtomaten, die in einem riesigen grünen Bett vergraben waren, und der angeblich hausgemachte Mozzarella sah aus und schmeckte eher wie rasierter Parmesan. Das Dressing war zu süß, schwer und ähnelte nicht Balsamico-Essig. Das Gericht ähnelte auch keiner Art von Caprese-Salat, den ich jemals serviert hatte. Es sollte meiner Meinung nach nicht als Caprese-Salat bezeichnet werden. Meine Frau genoss jedoch den Erntesalat. Das Brot schien nicht frisch zu sein und war abgestanden. Für Vorspeisen bekam meine Frau die Schellfisch mit gerösteten Pilzen und Kartoffelpüree Spezial, was ich sagen muss, war von den Charts köstlich. Aber ich war enttäuscht von dem toskanischen Meeresfrüchte-Eintopf. Es enthielt Garnelen, gut gemacht, aber der Rest des Gerichts bestand aus gummiartigen, winzigen Calamari, winzigen, winzigen Muscheln in der Schale und einem winzigen Stück Weißfisch, die alle in einer würzigen Sauce mit drei oder vier großen Ciabatta auf der Schale vergraben waren oben. Optisch war es appetitlicher als die tatsächliche Erfahrung, das Gericht zu essen. Der Service war einfach so. Wir mussten um Brot bitten, und es dauerte zu lange, bis wir unsere Bestellung aufgeben konnten. Es kam jedoch jemand vorbei, um unsere Getränkebestellung direkt nach dem Sitzen entgegenzunehmen, was sehr schön war. Positiv zu vermerken ist, dass das Getränk meiner Frau hervorragend war. Sie bekam den Hayride und er hatte geschickt eine dünne Apfelscheibe, die mit einer engen Nadel an der Lippe des Glases befestigt war. Ziemlich cool. Fazit für uns: Dieses Restaurant ist nicht billig und wir haben ein besseres Speiseerlebnis für den Preis erwartet. Wir könnten wegen des Schellfischgerichts zurückkehren, aber sonst nicht sicher"
