    We were greeted right away and get seated even though our group is not complete yet. Food was awesome, we loved everything we ordered and service was superb. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Ambiance was great too, we dined inside since it’s a little bit chilly at night. Highly recommend this place for any celebrations/occasions. Love to come back someday 👍

    Had a great time at Bolero. We had a great server Adrian who was very knowledgeable, kind, and on point, which made our experience greater. Wine selection was enjoyable to accompany food. Food was great in size as well so we were very full after. Ambience was also great viewing the vineyard with European vibe. We will definitely come back.

    The shrimp linguine was delicious, and had such a generous amount of large shrimp! Dish had great flavor, and the sauce was perfect. The rosemary feta fries were so creative and delicious - they were a hit! The truffle ketchup paired with it was perfect as well. Our waitress was so kind, and brought my friend a special free treat for her birthday. Love Beeside :)

    We love Valentina! We ordered their beyond yummy baguette, actually two of them. ;). Then the mussels and sea bass. Everything was absolutely delicious. With this said, our server could have stepped it up a bit. He seemed annoyed that we asked for tastes of wine, and, our rezie was at 5:00, so they were not busy. He did not self correct his ‘attitude’ throughout our dinner. This is the first time after many years of dining here that I have experienced something like this. One other note is while the sea bass entree was beyond delicious, it was an extremely small piece of fish. If you have not dined with Valentina, you must do so. The room is quaint and buzzing with lively energy!
