"Took friends from LA, who have dined around the world. They commented that the fantastic food, relaxed outdoor atmosphere and terrific service exceeded expectations. We knew that already, which is why we enjoy Saint Second. It ever disappoints!"

"We went here for a friends 39th birthday party extravaganza! When we arrived, we were warmly greeted at the door, but informed that there weren't any tables. The team quickly scrambled like a squadron out of top gun and offered to put together a large enough table to accommodate our group in front of the restaurant. The serving team was attentive and just the right amount of friendly to keep our drinks topped off throughout the Patty's experience. Speaking of the experience, let's talk about the food. Our first course included the shrimp cocktail, ceviche, and calamari. The shrimp cocktail was well presented and had some notable flavors. The presentation of the ceviche was great, and had flavors reminiscent of water and celery sans lemon. The calamari had the texture of a rubber band that was coated in soggy and slippery breadcrumbs. All three apps easily get a 10/10. Moving on to the main course, I cannot speak for others, but I ordered the Tomahawk (medium rare of course with a side of creamed corn and french fries. The french fries were crispy and quite delicious, they could be a meal in their own right! The creamed corn smelled slightly of body odor and had sweet, yet savory undertones. The only better creamed corn I have tasted came from Albertsons in a can. The presentation of the Tomahawk was exquisite. Slicing into the massive chunk of meat took some effort as tendons and fat clogged up the serrations of the knife faster than my arteries. The texture defied logic, it was in a superposition of wet and dry. This is something I have never experienced in all of my life on this planet. It was incredibly bland, but the sauces... man the sauces. All three sauces had aggressive flavors that reminded me of A-1 mixed with teriyaki sauce. The differentiator was a sprinkle of parsley or a dash of pepper. During our meal out on the sidewalk, we were greeted by a traveler that was seeking donations to fuel his dreams. Instead, I offered to fuel his belly by suggesting that he try some of my Tomahawk. He politely declined and continued his journey into the night. If I was to give the main course a grade, it would be A Overall Patty really built something special here. This is a hidden gem that I will reserve for only the bestest of occasions. In closing, I would give this place ONE MILLION STARS if that was an option. PS: To the birthday boy, we love you so much and we really wanted to say thank you for making this a night to be remembered."

"We are regulars at Spaghettini however this was the first time we have had Sunday Brunch on Mother’s Day. Never again on Sunday for Brunch/Mother’s Day. The service and food were five stars, the clientele is what prompted two stars. At the end of our meal and as we were leaving the restaurant I used the ladies room and there were some teenagers (male female) waiting for a younger sibling/friend inside the restroom holding the door open, as I was using the restroom the kids were turning the lights off and on to scare the younger child in the stall. This was infuriating, who lets their children behave that way in a nice restaurant. We will not ever celebrate anything at Spaghettini on a Sunday holiday. This experience completely ruined my Mothers Day celebration. Update the manager, David, reached out soon after this review was initially posted with assurance the ugly restroom situation had been addressed and offering a sincere apology. We do enjoy the food and service at Spaghettini and will continue to dine there. My star rating was revised from two to four."

"We were lucky to get a good table, but we had to sit next to each other so we could hear each other. It turned out that they have a kind of brunch special, the guests were LOUD! I had the fish. My friend had the veggie burger w/o bun. She said it was great, but I didn't even have a chance to taste it, it had gone in an eyebrow! We have the asparagus that all my Lord Jesus are hot, and the Brussels sprouts were also very delicious. So they definitely know how to prepare their vegetables! We also had a bistro salad with the champagne dressing and that was above the top near me!!! No pictures of the Veggies because we ate them so super fast!!! Delicious!!!"
