Delicious food. The brunch had many gluten-free options, and they were very helpful with assisting me in making the right gluten-free choices. The mimosas were delicious and plenty. The service was spot on. The atmosphere is sophisticated. All 6 of us enjoyed the brunch immensely. No one had any complaints.Dietary restrictions: They offer many gluten-free options for brunch.

We visited for the Mother's Day brunch. We assumed we'd be in the main restaurant which looked SO nice. Instead, they stuck is in the back banquet area facing a brown curtain. The table was too small for 8 of us. I will say the food and service was great and we have enjoyed this brunch in the past which is why we went back. They should let you know you're going to be stuck in a boring room instead of the nice part of the restaurant when you make the reservation. Or, how about you seat folks close to the windows so at least the view is nice? When we checked out they charged us the kids rate for a 2 year old. We were told when we confirmed our reservation that 2 and under were free. Our 2 year old grandchild ate 16 marshmallows from a Lucky Charm cereal package. She should be free!

Service and wait time for the food was awful. They messed up a couple dishes. They charged us for an extra kids meal we didn’t order, and I didn’t dispute it because I was just so done waiting on slow service. The food itself was fine, but the portions were small and several items on the menu were sold out.

The food and service were okay. The server couldn't figure out how to split the reward points between the two couples at the table. The chicken in my chicken parmigian was tough (not very good quality for this type of restaurant).

What a delight visiting this wonderful restaurant. My aunt and uncle took me here after not seeing them for several years and it was a nice and intimate place to catch up with family.The atmosphere made me feel like I was in Vegas in a very pleasant way. Big highlights were the Brussel Sprouts smothered in bacon and parmesan, the Chicken Parmigiana, and the beet salad.That night, I wasn't particularly hungry, but, that beet salad was probably the best one I've ever had. The goat cheese was not too astringent and paired very well with the very sweet and tender beets. The pistachios on top were little nuggets of heaven. I'm from St. Louis and I do still crave this salad. Chicken Parm was also very good with a hefty portion size that kept my husband full! You definitely get your money's worth here.Please note that reservations are probably a MUST as this place does get crowded easily after 5 pm. The valet parking is cute, too!We will be back! Delicious.

My friends and I meet at Saranello's every other month. The food is consistently good and the cocktails and wine are delicious. Once in a while we will have the dessert and that is always good.

We enjoyed Saranello's Supper Club menu. We also enjoy their Express Lunch menu, but we couldn't make it this time. Everything was delicious. I just wish the restroom was not on the 2nd floor. I don't like elevators, so I walked up and down the stairs.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service & delicious food.My siblings chose to get together for an early dinner at Saranello’s. None of us had been there. But it ended up being a positive experience.First of all, I loved the atmosphere & seating set up. They have private rooms & halls for parties. They have walls full of Wine bottles.We had a lot of questions for our server LISA, & she did GREAT! Lisa was patient with all of our inquiries. She was friendly, attentive & checked on how we were doing. Lisa really added to our positive experience at Saranello’s.Now, for the food - - the menu was concise but plentiful. We were struggling as to which meal to choose. I finally decided with Lasagna, my brother chose chicken Parmesan, my sister chose orecchiette with sausage and broccoli in parm broth.The food was made fresh, & you can tell.Of course, we ordered desserts.Banana Tiramisu was good. Apple crostada was so yummy. The chocolate cake melted in your mouth.We are definitely coming back again!!

Food, ambience, and setting all above average. If with a larger group, could be conversationally challenged given noise level in main dining area. My issue had to do with waitress Consistently ignored specific members of my party. Omitted asking all table members for drinks, only faced one person when providing information though it was a party of five, and while pleasant, seemed very rushed and short with her interactions. This impacted the quality of our dining experience

We celebrated Michael's birthday at Saranello's. It was a beautiful, 80 degree evening. The server was friendly and efficient. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. We have always had nothing but positive experiences here. It's a very nice restaurant that everyone enjoys.

We had a reservation for 3:30 on Saturday. Showed up 5 minutes early. Waited 10 minutes to be seated, understandable; we were early. Got seated in a lovely little nook, just off the main dining room. Very cozy even for 7 people. After 15 min of complete ignorance from staff, I got up and talked to the girl working the front. 5 minutes later, a lovely waitress came over with an apology for not knowing that she was to be our waitress. First time that happened to me?Once again, I am no foodie or a culinary expert, just an average guy who cooks and enjoys good food. I was expecting something along the lines of Maggianos. Maggianos, it's not. I'm a little disappointed. Appetizers were good but nothing outstanding. The only outstanding was the amount of salt on all of our main dishes. I like salt just as much as any other guy whose cardiologist prohibits him from any, but this food was SALTY. Everything from steak, chicken to pasta, not good. The fries that came with my steak were literally coated in salt, and they come with parmesan cheese, which is very salty in itself. The presentation was on a freshman apprentice level. I wanted to take some pictures, but a rather disturbing look from my wife stopped me from even reaching for my phone. The highlight was complementary pieces of chocolate cake for the three teenagers, two of whom were celebrating their conformation. All in all, I have had better and much much worse. This restaurant, however, did not meet expectations. I will go back just to see that maybe something was off on this day and a really like the setting. One last thing, restrooms are located upstairs, keep that in mind if you have to really go now?

I hosted my daughter's bridal shower and the staff went above and beyond helping me bring in the many boxes I had for centerpieces, favors, balloons and desserts. They even helped set everything up which was such a relief to me. The food was outstanding and the room was beautiful. Would recommend for anyone looking to host an event!

We took our mother here for her birthday. The freshly handmade pasta was scrumptious, the sauce was hearty, and the portion was generous. The salad was also very well balanced. The EVOO that came with the bread basket was so fragrant, too. The only thing I would want to comment was that when we arrived at 5:40, the place was not even half full. The valet parking person said he will have to check with the host when I said I didn't make a reservation. We ended up sitting near the bar, but it worked perfectly because we don't like crowds anyway. But it was a bit strange gesture when the restaurant was not even half full. ?Parking: It's very busy!
