Restaurants near Covered Bridge Park

Astoria Grill Alexander Pierce meets Carrabba’s Italian Grill; we’ve been waiting for this restaurant to open for some time, it was worth the wait. Seems like they kept a good portion of the Brown Derby’s infrastructure but gave it a bit of a facelift. The atmosphere is more casual than AP and the prices more in line with the Grill concept. The service was outstanding and we were greeted by the manager twice, very nice touch. Calamari appetizer was very nice, crispy coating and tender pieces, the marinara was good but the jalapeño sauce was bold, good but spicy. They serve bread with the salad, my only suggestion would be herbed olive oil in a bowl, not on the bread, it makes for greasy fingers trying to pull apart the bread. Otherwise, it’s quite good. The filet we got was outstanding, my wife’s comment, “one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in a restaurant” a perfect med rare and seasoned very nicely. Risotto was spot on with a nice al dente texture and cheesy flavor. Carbonara was very decadent, good flavors and hefty portion. We finished with tiramisu, again, very nice, absolutely no complaints. We’ll be back, it’s nice, affordable and great date night kinda place.

We were the last reservation of the night but did not feel rushed at all. We had excelled service by Aaron. He was knowledgeable and very personable! We ordered turtle soup, filet and halibut. It was all delicious! Loved the Benders potatoes too!

It's always a wonderful time when I go. I love the Christmas / Holiday decorations they put up. I enjoy all the new features they added and made since I was there last 4 years ago. Simply amazing service, food and people.

After dining at Basil, we would not go anywhere else for Asian food. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, the decorating was very cool and the food was outstanding!

The employees there are so friendly and helpful. The manager helped us when my son lost his watch and was so nice. We love the food and the fun!
