We read some great reviews and decided to give Regina’s a try. It’s a great neighborhood spot, we definitely noticed a few tables of regulars warmly greeted and engaged with the staff. Always nice to see, and as new comers our welcome and quality of service was equally as pleasant and welcoming. Katherine was a fantastic server, friendly, attentive, good knowledge of the menu and specials and very efficient as she was the only server at lunch time. The food was pretty good. There are some things they do perfectly and others that lack a wow factor. We got the Mediterranean sampler appetizer: some good flavors a little underwhelming. We are used to this type of sampler platter to at least have stuffed grape leaves or falafel. For entrees we got the dinner steak special with mashed potatoes, lasagna and chicken souvlaki platter. The souvlaki platter was great, well seasoned chicken skewers, smaller chunks than I’m used to but still very flavorful and the balance of fries and salad was perfect. The steak was superbly seasoned and cooked to perfection! Truly delicious. The mashed potatoes need some work, very bland. The lasagna was delicious, a great portion size and great seasoning. We also enjoyed a really well made pina colada and some of the best tiramisu I’ve ever had!! Atmosphere and ambience are quietly elegant and from the dining room to the restrooms they are clean and spotless!! Looking forward to going back and trying other things! PS. Had to try the falafel after all the Google review hype…conclusion: the falafel is worth the hype. Crunchy outside, soft and fluffy inside, great parsley flavor and that little spicy kick that sets theirs apart from the rest. Thank you Katherine for such fabulous service, we...
Read moreRegina's Restaurant is a Mediterranean Restaurant that serves a Greek and Italian fare. I like how the restaurant is accented with stained glass ceiling and bar lights. Luigi was friendly and attentive.
For drinks, we stuck to canned Coca Cola products. While we waited for our food, we were given a basket with two types of bread and butter. Since it was cold outside, I ordered a cup of Avgolemono soup, which consisted of chicken, onion, egg, lemon, dill, and orzo and pearl pasta. I liked the thickness of the soup. I felt like the dill flavor was a bit too strong.
For dinner, we enjoyed the Chicken Francaise and Chicken Valdostana. The Chicken Francaise consisted of three thin pieces of chicken breasts dipped in egg, sautéed in a delicate lemon butter and white wine sauce, served with spaghetti, and garnished with lemon and fresh herbs. The dish had the right amount of lemon. The Chicken Valdostana consisted of three thin pieces of chicken breasts dipped in egg, sautéed with artichokes, garlic, and chardonnay, topped with prosciutto, graviera and mozzarella, and served with angel hair pasta. The portions were so generous, we had leftovers, and didn't save room for dessert. We plan to return to try other dishes - Manitaria (Stuffed Mushrooms), Mydia Regina's (PEI Mussels), Spanakopita, Escargot Casino, French Onion Soup, Paidakia (Lamb Chops), Salmone Mediterrano, Rainbow Trout Napolentana, Lasagna All Forno, Melizzana (Baked Stuffed Eggplant), Kotopoulo (Herbed Roasted Chicken), Chicken Marsala), and all...
Read moreWe did not know what to expect when we visited Regina's Restaurant and arrived with an open mind. We chose to visit because our daughter loves French onion soup and saw it on their menu. She said it was her favored only second to her grandmothers.
Regina's is very spacious and has a large bar. We were greeted and seated by a hostess who filled our waters for us.
For an appetizer we ordered the scampi which came with four good sized bad boys swimming in an amazing sauce. We kept the remaining sauce to the side so that we could dip the complimentary bread with. For my entree I ordered the shrimp and scallops which was highly recommended by the waiter. Boy was he right! It was delicious!
We were very happy with the costumer service. Our daughter dropped both of her forks (separate times) and they quickly replaced all her silverware. We also asked for more warm bread and they did not hesitate to give us more (which is expected).
One last thing, I explained to my daughter "you always know a great restaurant when the butter is not cold and hard", which Regina's did not disappoint!!
We were very happy with our experience and we expect to visit...
