Had a really nice brunch at Tappi's this past Sunday. We made a reservation but probably did not…read moreneed it as we arrived around 11am on Sunday. The waitress greeted and seated us promptly. The menu is long and varied. There is definitely something for everyone here. We ordered a decaf cappuccino to start. Warning, unless you specify a regular size they will bring you the large, 16 ounce by default. I would prefer if they asked what size we wanted first. We ordered the shakshuka, the veggie georgian cheese pie and the soufflé pancake. The pancake takes 20-30 minutes and cones with a bit of whip cream some fruit and syrup. Overall the shakshuka and the pie were very good. The soufflé pancake was a bit of a let down. Let's just say I've had better Japanese soufflé pancakes elsewhere. I would likely go back and try some of their other dishes.

The owner came out to graciously greet myself and my Partner-in-Crime, and she showed us a brunch buffet for the ages. Marco, our server, may have been the most pleasant person I've met in a long while, and he was super attentive. Also, we came in at weird time between shifts, and they had a huge event coming up. Our food still was easy and-- most of all-- delicious! Those albondigas blew my mind. And my mind is not easily blown. Also it's like, totally family-owned, and I support the hell out of this. They are putting on their best show on thee crappiest of days to try to do so, and I just need everyone who sees this that this place is legit. MarFar's honor. And no, they didn't pay me or some stupid shit like that. They really are just that good.

We were coming here for Taco Tuesday pretty regularly for a few months. Service was always friendly…read moreuntil the regular bartender left the bar/found employment elsewhere. By that time, we had seen inconsistencies our fish tacos. One made it perfect, the other over fried the fish and made it un enjoyable. The saving grace was the green sauce. Sometimes, there was an off flavor with the tortilla chips (which you have to pay for- sigh). The new server never jived well with us. She was okay. But after seeing their multiple closures from the health department, and it seems like they are always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (and last Sunday, we drove by and saw they were closing around 6, and not at the posted time of 8), it's like why even bother. I can't look past the gamble with the food and the health violations (GROSS). Also, they don't have a good house margarita, just a cheap one. I remember coming here twice for breakfast like 3 years ago and I really liked their breakfast- especially biscuits and gravy.

I would like to give Dolci Cafe Italiano a huge shout out and a stellar review!…read more AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE, AMBIANCE AND ATTENTIVENESS! We have found ourselves very irritable at lunchtime in our office because we have been ordering the same old lunches for years...one of us for 24 years! We sent one of the owners of the company I work for out on a mission to find new lunch spots. This is how we found Dolci! We ordered 6 different items to share so that we could try several items. Grande Lasagna Bolognese, Americana Pizza, Italian Fest Panini, Fettuccine Cartoccio, Dolci Chicken Mac & Cheese and Penne Michealangelo. Every single item was so delicious. The flavors were rich and the portions were generous! It gave the feeling of FINALLY being satisfied with lunch which we have not had in a very long time! We all agreed we needed a nap after lunch because we stuffed ourselves in the most gluttonous manner! The only problem is that we were so stuffed no one wanted to get back to work! We are very pleased with the quality of ingredients, the order being ready on time and even after driving 15-20 minutes back to the office the food was still hot! Thank you Dolci! We look forward to ordering again with you in the very near future!

It's cozy, welcoming, and has that classic "local favorite" energy. The food absolutely delivers. Portions are huge, so come hungry. Their breakfast is the star of the show--everything is hearty, comforting, and done right. The muffins are next-level, and the desserts? Honestly, ridiculously good. It's the kind of place where you end up taking something sweet to go even if you're already full. This isn't a spot you go to for lunch--this is where you go when you want a proper, satisfying breakfast that hits every time. If you're craving big portions, homestyle cooking, and a warm, rustic atmosphere, Janet's is definitely worth the visit.

MAKE RESERVATIONS we arrived for dinner and waited 40 minutes for an opening but pleasantly…read moresurprised they offered a Valentine's Day dinner for two $85. Share an appetizer- we picked passion fruit shrimp cocktail which was 8 large poached shrimp with a passion fruit forward cocktail sauce and a charred lemon. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the charred lemon added a nice touch. We each picked an entree of the 2 offered - Ginger Glazed Wild Salmon and Grilled ribeye. The salmon was on top of couscous with baby grilled zucchini. The salmon had crispy skin and was fork tender just flaked right off and was very flavorful. The rib eye was grilled medium and covered in a peppercorn demi gravy that was so luxurious. I was half tempted to lick the plate. The pesto baby golden potatoes were like individual servings of mashed potatoes which paired nicely with the rib eye and charred asparagus. Share the dessert - Raspberry Chocolate Bombe- was expecting more chocolate than the 2 small heart shaped cookies which did not have a forward chocolate taste but more of a sugar cookie feel. The "bombe" was Raspberry ish mousse covered in a firm Raspberry jelly on top of a thin butter wafer/cookie with fresh strawberries and blueberries which were tossed in sugar. Every course was brought out timely and the presentation of each dish was exquisite. Everything was well seasoned and the appropriate temperature right down to the chilled plate and spoons for dessert. Plenty of seating and service was impeccable. Definitely will be returning WITH RESERVATIONS lesson learned.

It's a beautiful restaurant, very light and bright, looked elegant but casual. We had a reservation for a party of 13. From the moment we sat down to the end of our meal, Nico our server was awesome! He was so friendly and efficient throughout. And there were other employees that would come to our table periodically to ask how we were doing. We ordered various menu items, I had the steak frites with chimichurri on side and truffle fries. Absolutely delicious! My 12 ounce ribeye steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare and the fries were nice and crisp. I literally could bathe in the chimichurri sauce it was so good, the best I've ever had. All the food was so visually appealing I wasn't able to take a lot of photos of the food-we were hypnotized lol. For dessert we shared banana splits, sorbets and parfaits and we left all satisfied. Also the Wilson Creek Almond Sparkling Wine (or champagne) they use for the mimosas is wonderful! I didn't even add any juice to it, great by itself. Overall, it was a great experience and I strongly recommend it for just casual enjoyment or for celebrations. You won't be disappointed.
