We went here for our 8th anniversary and the service and food was amazing! Bobby was our server and he was attentive, bubbly and gave great recommendations. I appreciated the fact that he even told us what menu items he enjoys but may not work for us based upon the questions we asked. The Chicken Pesto was rich and creamy, I requested it spicy and the kitchen added the perfect amount of red pepper flakes. The lobster ravioli tasted like a delicious deconstructed lobster bisque. The ambiance was the right amount moody and classy without feeling stuffy, we will absolutely be back!
We enjoyed Easter brunch. The buffet was ample including breakfast, lunch, appetizers and dessert. Nearly all food items were delicious. Service both at the table and buffet was excellent. The champagne drinks were also very good. We will definitely return.
The Supper Club offering at 24.95 for a 3-course meal was a wonderful treat on a Thursday evening. We had their minestrone soup, parmesan stuffed mushrooms for starters which were delicious. For our second course, we enjoyed the eggplant parmesan and the pistachios-crusted whitefish which came with brussel sprouts slaw. We also ordered a side of broccolini. The lemon cookies and chocolate mascarpone pie were a terrific finish to our dinner. Randi gave us a pleasant service.
My husband and I went to Saranellos for my birthday dinner. Starting off with the ambiance, it was absolutely beautiful - perfect for a romantic dinner date. Lisa attended to us, and since it was our 1st time, she gave a brief introduction about the restaurant, which felt very welcoming. Our order: 1. 2 mocktails: Raspberry mint fizz (both of us enjoyed this for its tangy & sweet flavors) & Pineapple mojito (it was on the sweeter side to our liking but a different flavor). 2. Soup: Got a minestrone bowl & Lisa was kind enough to bring it in 2 cups. The portion size felt small, but boy, we were wrong. It tasted like heaven in a cup, & it was quite filling by the end of it. 3. Mains: Being vegetarians, we were actually surprised to see the number of options to choose from. So we went for: Gnocchi alla vodka: ok, where do I begin? This was a flavor explosion. We had opted for a "spicy" option & it was a good level of spice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Baked Eggplant Parmesan: So, we ordered this based on the high recommendations, & yes, the reviews were up to the mark. This was another burst of flavors in our mouths. It was truly a very different experience. 4. Desert: Got a Banana tiramisu as it caught our attention as well as its high recommendation. And how do I put it in words, we were on cloud 9 with the 1st bite. It was so perfect, the right amount of sweetness. It was the best ending to the night is what we thought. When we got the bill, my husband mentioned to Lisa how we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and it was my birthday. She immediately went and got a cake with a candle. Lisa was truly a sweetheart for making our day. It was an unforgettable experience. Will definitely go back to Saranellos soon.

Ordered a to go breakfast on Christmas Day and was pleased that, although the regular buffet wasn’t available, the American Breakfast was delicious and ample. The service was excellent and the restaurant has a wonderful ambience.
My husband and I came for dinner and everything was great. Damon was our server and he was fantastic!! He told us about the half off wine special, and gave great suggestions. The baked egg plant parm amazing. Absolutely great experience!!
The fresh pasta was delicious! I loved to dip the bread in olive oil. Everything I’ve tried from the menu was delicious. One of my main reasons for choosing this hotel
