   We enjoyed our dinner at Destino. The food was delicious and served hot. Our server was very attentive. I had the cheese ravioli - sauce was rich with chicken. My husband's steak was good and cooked just as ordered. The music provided a nice atmosphere.

   Tonight was my second time dining at Destinos. This place is awesome! The owner Danny came right up to the table tonight and called me by name as he remembered me from my first visit. Drinks are top notch and the food is amazing! I highly recommend the octopus! They pride themselves on service and it shows, which is hard to find these days! Shout out to Patrick the bartender/server!

   Juan was our waiter. Excellent service. His recommendations for wine and entree were perfect. Great experience! We’ll be coming back.

   The Italian food is exquisite. Meat was melting in our mouths and the pasta was al dente. The sea food was cooked properly and still tender and juicy. Their wine selection is outstanding.

   Gasper our server was terrific. Problem - the music was VERY LOUD. So loud that we had to ask at the desk twice and then ask our waiter before it was finally turned down. We were trying to have a conversation all the while shouting at each other. We all agreed we would return again but hopefully the music would be quieter.

   Tables were so crammed together that the waitstaff were not able to walk around the tables to even pour water.

   Destino is a new restaurant for us. The food is excellent. We had the Whitefish and the Short Rib ravioli. Both were plentiful and very tasty. We had cocktails as well as wine. The portions were generous. Service was excellent. It is a bit on the pricey side but they provide good value for the price. We will return!

    Suffice it to say, we were underwhelmed and won't be returning. It's a shame because we were really excited about a new local place; however, their casual fine dining seems to be neither casual nor fine. Pasta is not made fresh. Slippery table made it hard to cut my lobster ravioli. It slid across the table when gently trying to cut into it. I had to place a napkin down under the plate so I could eat without fear of it flying away. Music was loud with lyrics which was offputting for the ambiance and the same song repeated itself twice which was just odd. It's a confused atmosphere with loud music and dark candle lighting. The food lacked acid and spices. It tasted like catered pasta that someone tried to trick you into being fancy with a bit of mood lighting, cozy seating, and high prices. Don't waste your money or time. There's better places around here to try.
