Our server, Camilla, was worth the visit to Circe , because of her bubbly personality. The food , was tremendous as always. We shared the Arancini with Aioli sauce first, it was a special and they were cooked perfectly! We then shared a Caesar salad that had a soft boiled egg on top and it complemented the salad beautifully. I had a Swordfish special over Risotto with spinach and two Sea Scallops on top. It was the best piece of swordfish I have eaten. I eat out often, so this is a huge compliment to the chef! The whole experience was so special. I was with someone very special and Camilla was a joy! Congratulations on your new addition to your restaurant group! I can’t wait to visit your Cranston location! Camilla, we will be back to see you soon! Oh, not to mention the Leche martini’s are fantastic!!! But Circe’ makes the BEST Espresso Martini, hands down! Wishing you much success in your new endeavor! Anna and Bob

This was our fourth time dining at Mills, and once again, the experience was exceptional. From the warm welcome by the valet to the attentive service throughout, every detail exceeded our expectations. The food was a masterpiece—impeccably presented, of the highest quality, and bursting with flavor. We can’t wait to return!

The service was absolutely amazing as always. My wife had rotissarie which was delicious and always is. I tried the seafood special, this is where this disappointment came. The baked stuff shrimp were good, but there was no drawn butter and when requested was unable to get any??? The risotto had absolutely no taste to it at all, very bland and very underwhelming. Lastly, it was to be topped with a U4 scallop, the scallop was definitely not a U4 but it was cooked perfectly. The drinks were very good, always consistent at Parkside. This is the first time I have ever had a disappointing meal in all the years we have been going there. Lastly, the table was way to small to enjoy even an appetizer but that’s the parkside in a Friday night. The amazing service, made this visits shortcomings one that I will surely let slide.

Massimo is one of our favorite places to eat in Federal Hill. The lunch special is delicious, has a good variety of choices, and a very economical choice for a lot of food. Food is hot and tasty. Their focaccia bread is SO good. My son and I go there whenever we have a special occasion to celebrate. Servers and other wait staff are always attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable.

Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
