    I had a fantastic experience at Brendon’s Catch 23! The ambiance was absolutely perfect—warm, inviting, and the ideal setting for a great meal. The service was top-notch, with multiple servers ensuring everything was seamless, but I want to give a special shoutout to Sonya and Jenn for their exceptional hospitality. They were both attentive, friendly, and made my visit even more enjoyable. And the highlight of the night? The flourless chocolate cake—rich, decadent, and absolutely delicious! Every bite was perfection. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.

    Such an amazing meal and the best service. My best friend and I had dinner while our husbands were at an event in the hotel. We asked our server to help us space out our meal to match the event timeline. She was amazing - gave us great recommendations for each course and was so kind to let us have a leisurely diner. An all around great experience!

    We chose Vincenzo's for our father's 92nd birthday luncheon, and this restaurant did not disappoint! Walking in, you are greeted by a smiling host in the beautiful bar area, then led to the elegant dining room. The tall ceilings, art and opulent table settings immediately set the tone for the meal. We found the menu to be straightforward with options from soups, salads, pastas and sandwiches, and the pricing was excellent. Offerings of seafood and gluten free pasta was listed too. Our granddaughter loved the butter shaped like rosebuds. The fettuccine Alfredo con Pollo was delicious and the blue cheese dressing was served in a small boat and topped with blue cheese crumbles. Dad highly recommends the pork dish, and another raved about the chicken Marshall. Two ordered spaghetti and Meatballs- said the Meatballs should receive an award. We highly recommend Vincenzo's for any occasion or just to enjoy a really good meal. Dad loved his birthday, and they brought him cake with a candle.
