| - Dined here on 12-29-16 & was pleasantly surprised. Many years ago I used to come here once in a while and the decor & ambiance was always great but the food was sub par. So impressed with the improvements in the food these days. I had the Filet Mignon with the truffle marsala and I wish I didn't have to say this but this might be the softest and most flavorful filet mignon I ever had in my life. I actually asked the waiter "is this prime?" I mean, how did they get it so butter soft? My fiance had the Sea Bass special and it was really great, it had some sort of crispy marmalade thing on it that was just awesome, even my 2-year old ate it. Music was pleasant, lobster risotto was good, bread was warm and fresh, drinks were interesting. Drink menu is presented on an I-pad. Ha. I must be getting old. And of course you get a free Gondola ride at the end, and David the gondalier had a surprisingly good voice, really professional version of "O Sola Mia." Not sure how anyone is giving this place less than 4 stars, must be they had a rough night or maybe they are just WAY too picky. For me, the service was very professional, the decor of course fantastic, the food outstanding, the free Gondola ride is just over the top. I'd recommend this place to anyone. You can arrive 30 minutes early and just walk around the grounds. I would recommend coming before it gets dark so you can see the beauty of the grounds. Great job guys. I don't get out much so when I do it's special and you did not disappoint.
