    Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

    Celebrated my birthday here and it was so great! Everything was 5 stars. We had the arancini and baked crab dip for appetizers, chimichurri steak and scallops for dinner and strawberry shortcake dessert. Recommend everything. Our server was also great and brought me a glass of champagne on the house for my birthday. I’ve been for brunch too and that is also great. Can’t wait to be back. So many things on the menu look delicious.

    It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

    Indaco never disappoints. We ordered the curated table and love the surprise of what they will bring out for all of us to share. All the dishes were amazing. The cocktails were fantastic. Our server was attentive and friendly. It is a wonderful place to share a meal with friends and family. In some respects, I want to be greedy and write a not so good review so that I can always get a table when I want one. Alas, I will take my chances with the truth, this is a must dine restaurant for any foodie.

    Our dinner at Marcel was the best dinner experience I’ve had in 40+ years. The food was excellent but what took it over the top was how hospitable the staff was. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. It was like a family member who wanted to share their food with you. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed just sitting and chatting with ourselves and the staff. They treated everyone like a VIP. I encourage everyone to try Marcel and I’ll gladly recommend it and come back.
