    Ordered branzino. Price was on high side. Fish had a “ fishy” taste. Platter unappealing in appearance. Husband had chicken Parmesan which was good. Pita delicious. Waitress did not seem well informed about menu. Been here many times before. This visit was not as good as usual

    Always very solid. Portions seem to be shrinking a bit, however. One other minor note….you should not charge tax on the tip.

    I have been to Pescatore many times over the years. The updated dining room definitely elevates the feel of the Restaurant. The menu is pretty varied. What was disappointing? Was that none of the fish dishes had prices on the menu. Also, all of the specials as well as the fish prices were at least $15 higher than any other menu item.

    Returned Sunday after being a little disappointed in Friday’s service mostly caused by a large event in their event room. Very pleased with our meal! Chicken Alfredo was delicious as was the Chicken Florentine. Service was great and desserts were stupendous!

    The meal was great. The only glitch was there was a huge event in another room that significantly impacted the timing of our meal. It would have been appropriate to let us know that our order should be given in a time frame that would have prevented a long delay. Unfortunately we ordered and our order got behind the large party's order and we had to wait for about an hour for our meal. The waiter never came by to tell us our meal would be significantly delayed so my husband had to go over and talk to a manager. We even offered to settle up and leave. But in the end it was a delicious meal and the manager was very apologetic. Better customer service training for wait staff is recommended!
