Radius — Restaurant in Valparaiso

Oh my goodness I don't even know where to start. I made a reservation on open table which was sooo easy and convenient. I highly recommend making one on the weekend between 630 and 730. We arrived 15 mins early and we're seated promptly. Our server was nice and friendly. On the FB page I saw that the gyro burger was a special of the month and I decided I needed one of those! My fiance and I split one because I had read that their portions are big enough to split. So we ordered the calamari to split for an app. It was amazing and that cocktail sauce was the best I've ever had. The only downside we found, which is probably just my fiance and me because we are weird, is that they didn't put the tentacles all friend up on the plate. We looove those. The other couple we were with ordered a shrimp app (I don't eat shrimp so I didn't try that) and they ordered the bacon appetizer. Which was to die for if you like bacon! When our meals came they split a burger with bacon and fries and said it was amazing. We devoured ours. And we substituted for the garlic parmesan fries. Best decision ever! We ordered the peanut butter cheesecake for dessert and split it. Omgoodness it was amazing! The other couple ordered the cinnabon cheesecake which was also amazing! The drinks... Oh my lanta... We ordered so many holiday drinks and tried each other's and they were all so amazing. The sugar plum martini I believe it was, had marshmallow fluff on the rim with red sugar and I was in heaven!! From start to finish it was amazing! A little cramped in there because it is a small space and people wait by the bar for their seat, so I would recommend saying dining when reserving, instead of hightop like us, if you don't like crowds. We will be back!! I wish it could...

We came here for an early dinner. As we walked in past the patio, we were excited to see one table left in the shade. I waited at the host stand for the hostess to finish checking out a carry out order. A man walked in and interrupted the hostess, asking if he could have that table outside. The hostess told him yes and let him know she would bring menus out in a bit. I promptly told her we were wanting that table and she just looked at me. A server behind her said another table was about to pay and leave. The hostess told me we could wait for that table. Absolutely the worst customer service I have experienced in a very long time. We ended up getting a table inside. The server who interjected ended up being our server. Multiple tables, including the man who took ours, were greeted and served before us, despite the fact we were there first. Clearly, they need to do some training. Food was expensive and nothing special. Food took a long time to come out. My daughter had to wait even longer for them to fix her burger, because it came out without cheese. My son got the ultimate Mac and cheese with pulled pork, which was $19 🤯 It definitely should have included a larger portion of the Mac and cheese for that price. It was a pile of pork with a little Mac and cheese. This was Saturday, June 15 around 4. I included a picture in hopes management retrains...

The Food - Yum, Yum, Yum!!!! I ordered the Radius Burger cooked medium with fries, it was beautifully cooked and staged! Nice and juicy, and the cheese crisp on it was perfect and delicious and gave the burger an added flavor and crunch! My parents ordered the Alfredo (1 chicken and 1 shrimp) and of course I had to steal a bite of noodles and chicken from my moms plate, and 1 of my dads shrimp! The presentation of the food was just beautiful to look at, however, it did need a splash of color, but no matter what, if my stomach was bigger, I would have tried more!

Atmosphere - It was nice and laid back, kinda rustic looking on the inside, but I only saw it for like 2 seconds cause we are on the patio! We chose a great day for it, not hot, nice and cool with a slight breeze.

The Staff - the young man was very pleasant, and very nice. Could have been a little more chatty, though. He seem minimalistic with his interactions. Maybe he is new, or possibly having an off day. But either way, he was still attentive and polite!

Overall - I will absolutely be coming back and bringing other friends and family with me! I had a wonderful...
