Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse

We went to Davio's to celebrate our friend's birthday with our children. We were seated next to the entrance, where very frequently winter winds were blowing into us, which was very uncomfortable, especially for our children from ages 5-14. We placed our food order at 7:30pm, serving time was close to 9pm. Meanwhile the waiter did not check on us to assure of if anything is required. When our food arrived the waitress were confused who to serve what dishes and stood with food on top of our head. Steak knives were not brought in prior to serving the steaks but half way through when we trying to cut with regular knives. Food quality was mediocre given the price tags. The tiny dessert served for our birthday friend was distasteful, even fast food restaurants have better desserts. We were ready to leave but getting the check took awhile too. Service charge of 20% was included, which was infuriating as there was no quality of service. Overall we were disappointed with everything. Resturant that puts a high price tag should invest in services as well.

Dropped by on a Sunday it wasn't busy sat at the bar. They had a happy hour going on. Some nice food choices for $10. I had the mushroom arancini they were amazing. Also have the noodle salad a little disappointed. There wasnt any avocado or edamame on it like the menu said but the bar tender went a grabbed some. The dessert was excellent totally recommending.

This place has all the trimmings of a high quality (read: expensive) steakhouse with excellent food and outstanding service, except for the excellent food and the outstanding service. Did I manage to make it in and out without troublesome stomach behavior? No. But was it at least easy to get to the bathroom? Also no. Did you ever play Zork? Well if not, you 'll play a real life version on the way to the bathroom. It 's a maze of twisty little passages all alike. I lost count of the turns. I 'll grant it was clean. We had a large party just shy of a dozen and were seated in a private back room. So far, so good. We were able to hear each other. Except for the fact that we were seated at two separate 6 person tables. So instead of a group dinner, we basically had 2 separate group dinners. There 's an opportunity here for cocktail/appetizer/social time before the dinner gets underway. Didn 't happen. You know what else didn 't happen? Service. We had to go fetch someone to come to the room several times during dinner, including at the beginning with we 'd like to place an order and so... those drinks ... they 're coming right? Perhaps the most entertaining was when we had waited 15 minutes for the bill discovering that our server was out in the restaurant enjoying a coffee and cake. We started with appetizers at our table. Figured we 'd try the small towers: one hot, one cold. You know what they weren 't? Towers. They were plates. Flat plates. Is that really a problem? Not really... it 's the food that matters, but you 're getting me at max pedantic right now. But look, the food on the towers was mostly okay. The (hot) calamari was quite tasty, if over breaded and slightly rubbery. The (hot) scallops were deep fried and MASSIVE, if limited in flavor. The (cold) lobster was lobstery if translucent in a few places. The (cold) shrimp were large if a bit pasty. Also who puts chopped up raw salmon and tuna on a tower? Unusual. Not that it was bad. Anyway, I 'm sure you 're getting my drift. I will say, that the salads were awesome. And most people enjoyed their entrees. I ordered the Atlantic Salmon Caserecci. Everything below the salmon was absolutely brilliant. I was asked how I liked it cooked the server said it usually came medium but lots of people get it medium well. I asked for it medium rare. Rest assured, it was AT LEAST medium well, if not well done. But at least it was just a wee bit short of dry and chalky. In most places. After a few bites, I pushed it to the side and ate the rest of what was on the plate. Did they notice? Yes. Did they ask if I wanted to take it home? Yes. Did they ask if it was okay? Nope. Which is also the answer to the question: Will you be coming back? So we have that going for us, which is nice.

Took my family last night for TG dinner. We had a amazing experience from the front door till the end... Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
