It was flavorful enough that I didn't even need the side of lemon. We also tried the WEDGE salad, which was just okay. The SUMMER BERRY SALAD came with a wonderful dressing that I highly recommend! The MUSHROOM SOUP was quite similar to the mushroom toast, just in soup form, but it was still delicious. For the main courses, the CAPELLINI was served with about four shrimp on top, and the HALF ROASTED CHICKEN had fantastic flavor accompanied by plenty of vegetables underneath. I would definitely order it again! For dessert, we enjoyed the CANNOLI, which was quite large, and the CHOCOLATE TORTE disappeared so quickly that I didn’t even get a chance to have a bite! The snickerdoodle martini was a perfect imitation of a snickerdoodle cookie. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. It was Mother’s Day at 5 pm, so the staff seemed a bit worn out by the time we arrived. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. As for parking, there’s a convenient area for dropping off guests right in front.

Pasta was a bit spicy for being on a kids menu. Then the cheese ravioli was very dry and was supposed to be in a pesto sauce but it was almost as if it was rolled in herbs instead. Ordered the Pork Milanese and the initial order came out raw, which was very off putting, as you could imagine. It was actually ******.The staff was very apologetic and it was immediately taken off the bill and a replacement was given to us for free.However, as you could probably imagine, we didn’t want to eat any more pork. The soups and salad were good. Bathrooms were accessible and I did not check for a large print menu. Lots of space to navigate a wheel chair or a cane. Kid-friendliness: Sauce for pasta is spicy.

Historically, I have very bad luck with plans on my birthday. Restaurants lose reservations, forget to take my party's order, forget to place my order or give me the wrong order...My parents took me and my son to Martell's for late lunch. They've eaten there before and enjoyed it, so we gave it a try. From the point we sat down, the waiter Carlos was very helpful and kind. My son wanted a modified drink? Coming right up! Questions about menu items were answered thoroughly. The orders were taken quickly, but with plenty of time to consider the menu. Everything was very good, there was no long wait for anything, and Carlos continued to check-in asking if we need anything.This year, this staff member is partially responsible for making my birthday go as planned and I greatly appreciate it. I hope management realizes what a great employee they have.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends. Varied menu with great choices, including multiple vegetarian meals. read more Enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends. Varied menu with great choices, including multiple vegetarian meals.
