I ordered the surf and turf hibachi. Filet mignon came out to a perfect medium rare and the lobster was not rubbery. The added butter it was cooked with was the right touch. I ordered the chicken tempura roll which I didn't get until the middle of my entree. That was a little odd to me. Had to wait a little longer than I thought just for some water. Other than that, it was a pretty good experience and meal.

Our family decided that we wanted some Chinese food and after some Yelp searching, we came across…read moreMt. Palace with a lot of decent reviews so we decided to make this our place. We made a good choice. Mt. Palace has Japanese and Chinese foods in one place which I believe was a converted Pizza Hut at one time. When we got there, there were several tables filled and others coming in for dinner. We asked for a menu for takeout. The cashier was very helpful in answering questions about the food. We got General Tso Chicken, Happy Family which has beef, chicken, prawn, scallop, and pork. Some Wonton soup, and pork fried rice with a small salad and miso soup. All the food was made well and tasty. I felt the Wonton soup was bland but everything else was nice. The restaurant has a lot of anime all over and although they have a sign for gender neutral restrooms, it was men's and women's rooms separate. The place appeared clean. It came to about $80 total. We would return.

We were welcomed once…read morewe had arrived and was seated in this quaint dining room and a romantic setting for dates (just saying). Sophia was our waitress and she was wonderful and patient with us. We had a little one with us and the entire wait staff was so kind to her. We ordered the calamari and fries as a starter and omg it was amazing. The fries were the best and we def needed to place a second order for another round of fries. As an entree, my sister and I ordered the chefs special to share. It came with a steak, crab cake, and lobster tail, steamed string beans, and mashed potatoes. There was also a variety of sauces. Everything was soo delicious and loved that we got a taste of everything with the platter. We enjoyed our dinner and loved the ambiance. Olivia and the entire wait staff were great through our entire visit. I will def visit when I'm back in the area.

By far the best restaurant we dined in during our Poconos vacation. Walking in, we quickly realized…read morewe were in a hot spot because the place was busy for a Tuesday night in September. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to be seated. But I do suggest planning ahead and reserving a table. Especially if you visit during high season. Anyhow, the service was excellent. Our server, Sam was extremely attentive. She explained the menu to you and shared some recommendations. We started out with a Caesar salad to share and knew right then that the servings would be ample! The kitchen was kind enough to split the salad for us between two plates and I'd have thought just half was shareable. But lucky us, plenty to indulge. We absolutely LOVED the dressing but found it a slight tad heavy handed. If we make it back, we'd definitely ask for dressing on the side. But nonetheless we appreciated the authentic Caesar dressing complete with anchovy paste. For entrees we had the penne vodka with sausage and shrimp 360. Both plates were big enough to feed an army and made for nice left overs. But make no mistake, both were delicious! Hit it out of the park, delicious! And beautiful al denté pasta. This meal really hit the spot. Even though we were completely stuffed, we managed to find room for homemade pumpkin cheesecake! I don't say this lightly, but it was hands down the best slice of cheesecake I've ever had. We couldn't stop raving about out it! This is a great restaurant to visit when visiting the Poconos. The setting was elegant in an understated way while being incredibly cozy! I think it would be great for larger groups but also intimate enough for couples.

Basso Cucina Italiana is an Italian restaurant and wine bar that opened in Cresco, Pennsylvania in…read moreJuly 2010. It was founded by members of the Pipolo family, including Bill Jr. and his wife Kim. The Pipolo family, including father Bill Sr. and mother Fabiana, had moved to the Poconos area from the Bronx, New York in 1984. Bill Sr. had a construction business which sons Bill Jr. and Peter worked in after graduating from high school. Bill Jr. first had some experience in the hospitality business when he owned the Calico Kitchen in Canadensis. When a location formerly home to Harrison's Tavern became available, the Pipolo family acquired it with the intention of turning it into an authentic Italian restaurant. The whole building was completely redesigned to resembled a trattoria in an Italian mountain village. Basso became a full Pipolo family endeavor. Even the grandchildren can be seen greeting guests and bussing tables from time to time. Bill Jr. and Peter later purchased the former Jagermeister German restaurant down the street and turned it into the PourHouse Neighborhood Bar & Grille after a renovation. My family and I visited Basso for dinner on a recent trip to the Poconos. We had previously visited the Pipolos' other restaurant, The PourHouse, and were excited to try their take on authentic Italian fare. The interior was nice and cozy. After looking over the menu, my wife and I decided to start out with some cocktails. I had the "Limoncello Spritzer" while she had the "Peach Berry Pink Sangria". Both were very refreshing! For our entrees, I had the "Pork Chop Di Parma" (juicy 12-oz. pork chop topped with prosciutto and red wine demi-glaze served over risotto), my wife had the "Cherry Red Shrimp" (sautéed shrimp with garlic, cherry tomatoes in a fresh basil butter sauce over linguine), our older son had "Tortelloni with a Pink Sauce", and our younger son had "Baked Ziti". Although the wait for the food was a little long, it was well worth it because everything was to die for! Our server was also very friendly and helpful. It's also worth noting that parking is very limited, so definitely try to stop in on the early side. We had an excellent experience at Basso and give them our seal of approval!

Since I was here for lunch, I got the Hibachi Lunch Combination which was primarily picking two choices (protein) so I ended up getting steak and chicken. It came with fried rice and a salad too but I forgot to take pictures of it. I also ordered gyoza as my appetizer as I knew I was starving. The food came out quickly, it might have been that way because it was empty when I came in. The server was attentive too and it was just overall a pleasant experience. The hibachi steak is kind of tough, they cooked it a bit more well but I didn't mind it. The chicken is okay too but the sauce is a bit too salty. I did like the gyoza, it's perfectly cooked and I could probably eat 10 of those if I wanted to. For a quick eat, it does the job. I don't really have much to say other than check this place out!
