Excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere are frequently mentioned. A French review describes a calm ambiance, attentive staff, and a half chicken with fries and rice that was excellent. Some longtime patrons feel quality and packaging have declined, with salads that used to be goat cheese and mixed greens now iceberg lettuce with bland cheese, and a shift to greasy fries in cheap boxes instead of reusable bowls. Overall, Seasoned Dreams shows potential with flavors and service, but consistency and packaging quality vary.View restaurant profile

Da Vinci is described as an elegant, welcoming Italian spot where the atmosphere and attentive service can elevate celebrations, with private rooms and thoughtful touches noted as a plus, but several reviews flag value and consistency as concerns. Valentine’s Day menus were fixed per person and portions were small, featuring a shared burrata salad and bite sized desserts while lobster ravioli appeared as a regular portion. Service ranges from subpar in some visits, with no drink menu and rushed service, to exemplary when staff are on point and attentive throughout the evening. The kitchen turns out flavorful dishes such as pasta Bolognese, mushroom risotto, lamb, tomahawk steak, black cod, and salmon tartare, and desserts and drinks are occasionally praised. However, the price level is criticized by some as too high for what is delivered, while others feel the overall experience justifies it. Overall, Da Vinci emerges as a refined option with strong service and solid Italian cooking, best enjoyed when expectations match the pricing.View restaurant profile
