    The food was incredible. The 3 way mezze option was delicious. But the star of the show was the ribeye & chicken skewers. Both were super tender and juicy. I can not wait to go back again. Kuddos to the chef and her family’s recipe.

    After spending some time in Spain, we missed the traditional Spanish food and Telefèric provided a place to enjoy that once more. The tapas, wine and sangria we had were delicious and we can’t wait to come back for more. The hosts were great, service was great and the ambience was great. Thank you for making this a great outing for my family and I.

    It’s often the case that a new restaurant takes time to work out their system. That is NOT the case at Nettuno, where we dined on grand opening night. Chef Giuseppe Musso has brought his team with him, upped his game, and hit the ground running. The setting is fabulous, bright, big yet somehow intimate, perhaps due to the well curated art collection adorning the walls. Our meal: antipasti…anchovy shortbread (heaven), focaccia accompanied by an amazing olive oil. Primi…bucatini al cacio e pepe, one of chef Musso’s signature dishes with his own well-executed twist, squid ink fettuccine ai frutti di mare, delectable. Accompanied by a glass of La Quercia di Montepulciano. I dolci were the panna cotta alle fragole and a panforte con pistachio e panna. I highly recommend Nettuno, and I’m sure reservations will be quite necessary in the very near future. The restaurant’s opening coincided with the grand opening of the refurbished Fairmont Breakers hotel. Before dinner belly up to the adjacent bar, and enjoy an after dinner drink in the lounge (also adjacent). There will be live jazz. Also worthwhile is a trip up the elevator to the sky room restaurant, with fabulous views of the Queen Mary and harbor, and the Halo bar one floor higher. Soon to be a downtown hotspot.

    Stacey was attentive and the view of the harbor was romantic. My husband and I enjoyed the scallops and lamb chops. Side salads were large enough to share.
