This is a really disheartening review to leave, because most of the meal was great, but I have to be honest. We were told they were out of burgers, but would be available again if we waited an extra 15 or 20 minutes. At this point, based on the quality of food and price point of it, I am assuming it's because they either make their own (and someone finally had the time to do it) or just were very busy and ran out of portioned ground beef. I was giving the benefit of the doubt, so we went ahead and ordered it medium rare and with no worries about the wait. I'll digress for a moment and say that everything else was great. The pan seared tenderloin appetizer with baby spinach, quinoa, pickled beets, and evoo was delicious. The shrimp and corn chowder was excellent. Their bread, I think homemade in house, was very tasty. I got the surf and turf bucatini, a tasty dish (although light on the braised short ribs and scallops, portion of short rib especially could be improved) but I loved it, it was great. At this point I'm a 4 or 5 star rating all day and I'm really enjoying this place. I look over at my fiancé and the disgusted look on her face at the burger they brought to her. Not only was it not medium rare, it was well done and tasted like a frozen burger. We both looked at the burger, which had almost no grill marks on it. I've been around, that doesn't happen unless you cook it stupidly (microwave, etc.). We told our waiter Oscar it was terrible, and we had no interest in it and pushed it aside. At this point, we had enjoyed so much food, and everything else was great, I was fine with it. Then they dropped the bill with the nasty one bite taken out of it frozen market special burger still on the bill, no questions asked. No manager ever asked us about it, even though we couldn't have been clearer it was atrocious and didn't touch it. Frankly, it's immensely stupid on behalf of whoever was in charge Sunday June 27th, 2021 to have the audacity to put that type of absolute garbage product in front of any guests. And I paid for it anyway, because I don't complain, after Ive told a server a meal was absolutely terrible, and it was, this wasn't an objective opinion, they served us garbage to try and save face instead of being honest and just saying they couldn't provide the appropriate product. 17 years in this business, and I have no respect for misrepresenting your menu product. I left that nice young man Oscar a plus 20% tip. I will never go back there, and I will make sure nobody I knows does either. An absolute scumbag maneuver pulled by whoever was in charge. I have room for error, but not...
Read moreMy first time last night and I was super impressed. Brought 10 people out for my moms birthday, my stepdads, and stepbrothers and everything was awesome. Read below! First photo is the Safehouse burger, Monica had this. She’s not one to get burgers very often but she loved it and I had a few bites too, I wish I got it. Also it comes with a mix of regular fries and sweet potato fries which was awesome, best of both worlds. Overall, super tasty and juicy. Second and third photo was my meal; the saltimbocca with chicken over pasta. Amazing. The Demi glaze is so good, the chicken was delicious, the pasta is awesome and it was very filling. The spinach and cheese on top is a real great addition. I somehow finished all of it. One of my brothers got the chicken parm sandwich with fries. Classic and great, he enjoyed it. The ciabatta bread looked really good. Last photo is one of the desserts; the cookie skillet. One word - unreal. The cookie is super warm, soft and gooey, the ice cream is a perfect pair, and with 2 strawberries you get a little of everything. If I wasn’t stuffed from my meal I would’ve had my own but I split it with Freddy. We all tried this one and everyone loved it. You HAVE to try this dessert if you come. Not pictured was the lobster ravioli, sea scallops over risotto, prime rib, and others. Everyone really really enjoyed the food. Drinks were awesome too! Big selection of cocktails, great beers on draft and more. The service was phenomenal, our server Kayla went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt very welcome and enjoyed themself, especially the birthday people. She was always nearby to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. Overall 5 star experience no question. If you’re looking for a new restaurant to try for a date night, family dinner, or for birthdays, Safehouse should be on the top...
Read moreChianti's Italian Cuisine Everyone has an opinion, this is mine. One may choose to describe their dining experience at Chianti's with a course by course evaluation and that is fine; in fact I applaud those folks who take the time to voice their opinion. I on the other hand would like to take a different approach and that is:What Chianti's means to me.
A bubbly greeting when you arrive from a hostess who knows no other way to greet you other than expressing an honest and sincere thank you for choosing Chianti's.
A server who treats you like family even though there is a strong possibility you're not related.
As I look around, I see other patrons with smiles on their faces. Laughter fills the air while still allowing for others to have intimate conversations.
A couple in the corner, he wearing a Brooks Brothers suit, she with a Coach bag by her side.
On the other side of the room, a family dressed in casual attire enjoying their main course.
A group of young ladies just walking in expressing a feeling of “Yes ,Chianti's what a great choice we made.”
So that's the atmosphere at Chianti's and oh yes the food, excellent, excellent, excellent !!!!!
Our first dining experience at Chianti's was Friday March 1, 2013.We were a group of five, everyone had a great time and will be going back again, and again, and again.
Chianti's is a place reserved for people who love superb Italian food and great times.!!!
As for those critics who choose to give Chianti's a low rating... why not give Chianti's another try, you never know, maybe your knowledge and taste for great Italian food will have advanced to a level where you can truly understand and appreciate an exceptional restaurant such as...
