    We had a wonderful dining experience during our post valentine celebration with some friends. We have been wanting to try FiorItaly for some time and we were not disappointed. Wait staff was excellent, even though it was a busy Saturday evening she did not rush us. Food was excellent and you could tell everything was made to order. If you like a fresh Italian meal and don’t wish to head into the city I would suggest giving FiorItaly a try.

    We had a great time Bistro5 on Valentine’s Day. As expected they were packed so and everyone was working hard, great vibes. Service was friendly and courteous. We went for the special tasting menu with wine pairings. There were two choices for each course so we had one of each and everything was excellent. This is one of few places I’ve been that I would be comfortable putting myself in the chef’s hands.

    We had a great dinner at Earls for Valentine’s Day/my husband’s birthday. The California roll was so fresh, as was the corn and avocado dip. Highly recommend both! The mojito was so good.
