We had a delicious dinner at Martini. The Negroni and Dark Cherry Manhattan were both outstanding. The tenderloin filet was cooked perfectly; and the veal chop was melt-in-your-mouth amazing.

Martini is such a fun, happening spot for dinner. Definitely has that a big city restaurant vibe. They have the best arancini I’ve had in the US. This visit, I tried the salmon for the first time. It was…wow! - rich flavorful fish served on top of a spicy broccolini. Another new favorite is the pesto served with the house bread. It’s lighter than my recipe but full of bright basil flavor. The service was top notch. Every time I go to Martini, I am impressed by how consistently good it is.

We waited 30 minutes before being served drinks. The service picked up later, but was very slow at the outset. The food is good, but pricey. The restaurant is very loud.
