"After a long hard day, just wanted a nice relaxing dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My husband ordered a Grey goose martini with no vermouth, I ordered their specialty lemon drop. His martini was some cucumber vodka, not what he ordered, and he didn't care for it. Server never checked on the drinks. He ordered filet mignon, I decided to try the margarita yellowtail. His steak was tender, but lacked any flavor. I had never had yellowtail before. What was cooked was tasty, but bulk of it was very rare. I get eating a nice tuna steak on the rare side, but the center was **** rare, not pink, but ****. The rice and veggies were ok, but not enough to make a meal being I couldn't eat t...

Food was bland and expensive. It's bad that the best thing at our table was an egg sandwich that cost $21!

A lot has changed over 30 years. The Bar of America was lively and had a positive vibe. The service was extraordinary. Food was average. Most disappointing was the $39.00 BBQ Chicken. It was dry, like eating sawdust. Surprisingly disappointing. The restaurant had a raw fish appetizer that ate as an entree and it was delicious. Spicy and fresh. Yummy. It ended up being a very expensive evening, atmosphere engaging, the food overall too costly for the value.

We had great service and wonderful food. The waiter did a great job with our order. I especially appreciated that since I asked for a few items not be included in the my salad. The cowboy salad was big and great tasting. Cowboy chili came in a sourdough bowl tasted really good. My husband who enjoys spicy foods. Did find the chili to be on the spicier side even for him. Yet, he ate the whole thing. A friend had the chicken sandwich on brioche roll. They loved it and came with a lot of food too. We appreciated how our server kept our non alcoholic drinks refilled.

"We happened to stop here after the glowing reviews on Yelp, in a search for something to eat. I'll start off with what I really liked about this place the ambiance and the service. The restaurant is kind of a split level, where only the hostess is at the platform upon entry, then you take a few steps down into the bar area. If you go up from the hostess stand, there's a whole separate section just for dining. We got seated promptly and our server was very nice and knowledgeable. We ordered the tomato basil soup and the seasonal salad as an appetizer (The seasonal salad had peaches, almonds, goat cheese, and almonds on a bed of arugula. The tomato basil soup was good, but I wish it had a little more heartiness, depth, and flavor. The salad was perfect, good mix of sweet and savory. For our main course, I got the pasta Bolognese and my mom got the Ragu. My gripe with the pasta here is that they advertise the pasta as fresh made, but I felt like the pasta was a little overdone, soft, and tasteless. It lacked salt, so I added a heaping spoonful of parmesan to the already-shaved parmesan in the dish, (which is brought out as the powdered version, but would have had a nice touch if it was freshly shaved). The Ragu was nice, but the grilled polenta on it was very charred and just tasted burnt. Lastly, I asked for some bread to eat with the sauce and they charged for bread, which I felt was a little nickel and dime-y. We finished off with the tiramisu, which was just ok (it's usually my favorite dessert It had a heavy taste of just cream no real taste of espresso and/or the mascarpone tasted more like whipped cream than mascarpone. I would be open to possibly trying other dishes at this location, however, it fell a little short for an Italian restaurant from my experiences."
