    We were greeted and promptly seated on arrival. We were seated at a lovely booth that accommodated our group of five beautifully. Being Christmas Eve, the restaurant was extremely busy.  The service was very pleasant if a little slow at times. that was most understandable as previously stated it was Christmas Eve.  Most of the group started with a salad. And all were very happy with their choices. Our entrée choices were the halibut, pork chop, and short ribs. They were all very well prepared, but were served lukewarmm. All and all it was a lovely evening enjoyed by each of us. Poggio is our Christmas Eve tradition with friends. We will be back before Christmas Eve of 2025 as we always enjoy Poggio. .

    Great night, menu varied enough to meet the needs of four picky eaters, even one who needed gluten free options. Our elderly hard of hearing member did complain later in the evening, as it got much busier, that he had a little trouble hearing. All in all wonderful food and very pleasant evening.

    We had a wonderful waiter!!! He just made the whole experience so enjoyable. That feeling actually started st the front when we checked in. As always, Perry’s looked festive and beautiful. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and the crayons and coloring menu were a big hit.
