Saranello's

Great experience overall. I am taking away one star for the wait despite having a reservation and the attitude of host. We had to wait almost 25 minutes after our reservation time. While I understand that sometimes tables dont become available as planned, the attitude of the host didnt help the wait. However, once seated, the experience was great. Our server was very nice and courteous. The food was delicious and the portions very good. Being a Friday night, the place was very busy but the service was fast and the managers were working the floor making sure everything is in order. I recommend this place and will certainly try again.

We came here for a corporate dinner last night. The Brussels sprouts and stuffed mushroom appetizers were delicious. I ordered the 8oz Filet Mignon steak dinner, requested it rare, and it came back medium well done. Sent it back, and it came back medium rare. I was too hungry to complain again, but it definitely was NOT a Filet Mignon cut. It was tough, tasted more like a sirloin, or it had freezer burn (both pieces). I have eaten rare Filet, at a couple great steakhouses, and it is cooked perfectly. Nice crunchy seer on the outside, and melts in your mouth on the inside... that's how it should be cooked. It was presented nicely, but at $42, this "8 oz" (looks more like a 6oz) steak should've been cooked perfectly!!! Service was slow, and it's your typical restaurant atmosphere. If you have money to blow, go for it. Honestly, pick a pasta dish... might work out better for you... or just go somewhere else.

Came with high expectations from previous reviews. We arrived 15 min before our reservation and went to the bar. Our bartender was great and gave my wife several wine tastes to see what she wanted. My martini was spot on. Then we were seated and started with a pork and veal meatballs. Flavor was good but the meatballs were on the cool side. Mentioned it to the server and they brought out nice piping hot meatballs with an apology. They were delicious. Ordered the short rib ravioli and although the ravioli tasted good, but the sauce was from Salt Lake city. All the while we wondered if we needed to ask for bread side we saw it on other tables but were never offered any. When we mentioned it to the server, she blamed it on the bus servers, but she saw the whole time there was no bread or olive oil on our table. YMMV but not sure we'd go back. Seems like a chain and chains don't care about diners.
