Cetrella

Service was really gruff a not effecient. Not enough servers. Food was OK, nothing special. We were there several years ago and the food was better and the ambience much different ( and better!) They remodeled and it's not as warm and comfortable as before. Prices are high.I would not recommend this place.

Pros: good parking; live music on weekends;

Cons: too pricey for what it is; poor service

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the menu, great variety of flavors in the dishes we had....My husband had the duck (delicious) and I had the skate. We were happy to try something new! They obviously have many influences in their cuisine. Our server was very attentive and was great with guiding us through the menu. We had a great time, and will definitely be back again. A new chef, and a new look! Great!!!

I had a Sunday brunch at the restaurant with my husband. The atmosphere was very nice. Most of the customers were elder. It was a bit more expensive (Branch menu price was between $12 and $17) than what I wanted it, so maybe that explained why…. If you are looking for a nice quiet brunch, I recommend Cetrella Bistro. I would like to take my mom next time. :)

Pros: Food

My husband took me here for our anniversary and I was quite impressed with the food and service. I had not known of this restaurant - and it was lovely inside both romantic and cozy. We shared two appetizers, the sardines and the hamachi which were both tasty and well presented. I had the vegetarian plate which was delicious and filling and my husband had the Halibut which as also excellent. We finished off with a tasting of 3 of the goat cheeses. The wine list was quite extensive with a range of options to choose from depending on if you are casually dining or there for a 'special' night like we were and want to spend a bit more. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Pros: Great ambiance, unique menu

I used their online form to order a gift card for a friend. They were completely unprofessional, lost the order, send my credit card info all over the net without security. You will be happier if you take your business elsewhere.

Cons: unprofessional, not suitable for business dinners,

We had very attentive service from our waiter. The menu had a very interesting selection, which I enjoyed. I forgot exactly what but it was some kind of wild game tartare, not for the non-adventurous but it was indeed tasty.

It was a very great experience, from the appetizer till the after meal wine and dessert, the mix texture of flavour is fantastic, briliant, a little bit flaw on the presentation. great ambiance and architecture design , very warm and inviting dining room with mellow music background and lighting setting, make it all a great dining experience. The only minus i experienced was the service, from the server, i'm sure there was random thing wherever u go, and the timing of each course a little bit off. but overall if u ever hear someone say to pricy , i would say they don't the appreciate the dedication and art in food. Defenitly going back, but only with different server this time.

sometimes (most of the times) they have really random stuff on the menu... random meaning if you're a picky eater - forget it! BUT i would recommend eating in the bar area. there's a smaller menu, but they have a burger on the menu that's really good. drinks are good. and there's usually live music in the bar area. just don't eat in the restaurant part.

Pros: beautiful place though!

Cons: werid things on menu, not for kids

I will never understand why this restaurant is on the top 100 list. Food is marginally imaginative, but hardley what any one wants to eat. I went with a large party, and half of us could not find anything that was appealling. Service was poor. Our server seemed more interested in talking to the table next to us. It was not his table. I guess if you are a regular, it is a whole different experience.

Pros: Beautiful Restaurant

Cons: Menu, Service, Loud

The building and dinning room are quite nice, but the service and overall feel just isn't up to the level of other places in the same price range. The service is very slow and most of the employees are not friendly. At the price level they're at, you expect friendly, personal service. The food was also average at best. While my steak was good, the creamed kale side was closer to creamed kevlar it was so tough. My wife was happy with her food, but the portions were on the small side for both our meals. Overall, my wife and I were disappointed, but not totally unhappy. Next time I would choose someplace else for a nice dinner however.

Pros: Decor

Cons: service, price
