Review Summary

Le Fellini's reviews show a wide range of experiences. Some Valentine’s Day visits were marked by a shortage of food and a chef who yelled at the staff, leaving a harsh impression even though the servers remained courteous; others praise the team's professionalism and stress the importance of reporting disrespectful behavior. Booking and timing issues recur, with reservations mishandled on arrival, bread and entrées delayed, and dining rooms that can become very noisy when many groups are present, though several notes highlight friendly, attentive service. On the food side, opinions vary from delicious, well prepared dishes and generous portions that pair with a bring your own wine policy to critiques of specific items described as underwhelming or not up to the price, such as a filet mignon or a salmon starter. Ambiance is often described as pleasant or romantic, yet some visits feel chaotic. Several mentions of a transition from the old to the new administration suggest hope for consistency and continued improvement, and many reviews conclude that Le Fellini can be excellent when the service and kitchen align.View restaurant profile
