"I stopped in with the intention to grab food to go, but ended up staying for a quick bite. I expected decent food, but ended up getting more than I anticipated. The burger melt I had was better than some Michelin starred restaurants in terms of flavor and presentation. I was treated like an old family friend with good conversation, hospitality and great service. The food is made with passion and love. Amazing home-made pasta salad, great homemade goulash, all at a fair price. You can get good food anywhere, but you cannot put a price on quality interactions and hospitality. I live quite a ways away, here on work and this place was a home away from home. I recommend it to anyone. They pay ho...

Stopped by my travels, his good food for Bar-Tarife, as well as good portion size. The staff is super friendly. The menu on Google is wrong at some places because of the current menu changes, so note that.

"While this restaurant has an upscale atmosphere, unfortunately, we didn’t feel that the food followed through. Our table ordered the filet trio, the 14 ounce ribeye, and the Parmesan crusted NY strip. All of our steaks were cooked well to the appropriate temperature and looked delicious, but the ribeye was thin, and the Parmesan crust on both the strip and one of the filets was just a little over the top for us. The crust itself just wasn’t what we were expecting and there was quite a lot of it. The garlic mash I had with my strip I thought was pretty good. Creamy, though a bit heavy on the garlic. The others at the table felt it was too much like a purée consistency and not quite a mash. A lot of other reviews say the steaks are overpriced and I have to agree there, especially for the ribeye. The strip was probably the best steak we ordered— a little over an inch thick and tender, but the ribeye was probably 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and we were questioning whether it was actually a full 14 ounces. The side of lobster mac cheese, however, was very good. Now, this is being really not-picky here, but I even felt that the Caesar salad was a little lack luster. A majority of the romaine in my salad was slightly brown on the edges, but I really liked the dressing and the croutons. All this being said, this was our first time here. We really can’t speak to the quality of the Italian offerings here, so maybe those dishes really are the stars at this establishment. I can say with certainty, though, that we are unlikely to return for steak. We would maybe consider trying something else here if we’re ever back in the area."
