    Revamped menu. No bread service. Food arrived 30 minutes late. Taste was mediocre. Not the same experience we have had over the years.

    This was our first time dining at Martini's since their remodeling and revamping of their menu. The quality of the food remains excellent, and they retained several of the earlier menu items and tweaked several others. The wines available by the glass are excellent. This is a special occasion restaurant, well worth a visit. The changes in the decor are relatively subtle. The energy level is fairly high, reflecting the apparent enjoyment of the patrons. Service is attentive without being intrusive.
