Excellent service and delicious food. Our server Scotlynn( hopefully correct spelling) was very friendly and knew her stuff. Her wine suggestions were spot on. Coffee was outstanding. Very busy lunch spot and got noisy but I find most restaurants very noisy. Not economical but what is these days. Overall a wonderful lunch for the 4 of us.

Hadn't been to Biagio in a few years. It's still an outstanding, upscale restaurant. Met owner Biagio himself (that's his first name). If you speak Italian, you will be able to practice it chatting with the very formal-looking waiters who will be happy to share anecdotes from Italy and around the world. I was told Biago has been in business for over 35 years.

A wonderful place for a wonderful dinner. I always enjoy Hothouse and last night was no exception. The wait staff was outstanding and in short supply. Food was great. The place is an always quiet enough for conversation. The only sort of disappointment ( just sort of) was the strawberry shortcake which was very dry. But! The decadent chocolate cake was outstanding!! We’ll be back soon.
