Dinner at the Bistro Mezzaluna was very special. The restaurant was beautiful. We were able to eat out in the patio next to the beautiful fountain. For appetizers the four of us shared a seafood salad and the fried calamari and shrimp with spicy peppers. My friend and I each ordered the veal scallopini, the gentlemen ordered chicken parmigiana and the pan roasted yellowtail snapper. We thought all our dishes were delicious. The chicken and the veal were tender and flavorful. The yellowtail snapper was delicious and paired together with mash potatoes and asparagus was so delicious. It was better than comparable dishes at other high end restaurants. For dessert we shared a tiramisu and key lime pie. Our main comments on this restaurant is that it’s a beautiful place for a special dinner. The dishes may be pricey but the portions were generous. The service was great and the manager came by to make sure we’re enjoying ourselves. We will definitely go back.

Food was good, service was unfortunately horrible. We went for valentines, and as soon as we didn’t order wine our waiter left us and didn’t come back except when he chunked the desert menu at our table. We had to ask the manager for a refill at the end of our meal. Overall, not a good experience and wouldn’t recommend.

The places lovely we came here for my jobs holiday party. .. The service was amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful. A place where you can definitely take pictures. However, the food was less than we expected. It was percentage beautifully put the taste was bland no seasoning everywhere. The table was looking for salt and pepper or steak sauce, which we never got any. The food which is average for the money you pay. I expected it to taste better. I do plan to come back to give it a second chance and try other options and see if the food is actually better.

We have been saying for months that we should try this place and….I thought it was great. To start, we had the burrata salad and lobster bisque, both were so delicious, the chunks of lobster were huge, and the salad was fresh and light. The bread served was soft and flavorful and the butter was regular restaurant butter. For the main event he got the wagyu steak and I had the snapper in a very delicious sauce topped with crap meat…SO GOOD, better than the steak and cheaper too. The scallion mash was creamy and tasty, and asparagus was not cooked enough for me. We had the most experienced and witty waiter, he was amazing, and talked us into the most delicious dessert. We have the tiramisu with coffee gelato, absolute heaven, light, rich (but not too).

Always a great meal at Bistro Mezzaluna. I enjoy sitting at the bar to grab a bite. Pretty great selection of liquors and a great wine cellar. Private dining rooms for parties / banquets. The food is always solid and the service is excellent. Many long time employees and a consistent following of customers. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth checking out!

Especially enjoyed the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo with large salt water shrimp and lump crab. The sauce was exquisite, rich and creamy. The seafood was fresh and delicious. Our appetizers were simply scrumptious and the service was amazing!

It was a very pleasant atmosphere. I loved the ambiance of the first floor that had the water fountain and the beautiful decor at the front entrance. The staff was very courteous and pleasant. I had a very pleasant server attend to my needs, unfortunately I don't remember her name. It was beautiful .
