    I had the veal parm. I had this same dish several years ago and it was amazing. This time it was the most overpriced piece of leather I've ever eaten. So disappointing.

    Terrible customer service. We finished eating and literally sat there for 45+ minutes before our server came back to our table. In that 45+ minutes he checked on another table in the area about 5 times. Won’t be back.

    Food was absolutely fantastic. We went on Mother's Day so they were very busy. It took quiet a while for food to come out and our server was very busy. But, we expected it considering the occasion. We will definitely be back.

    The food was very good for all 6 of us. However We , the staff was either short a few people or something else. We were paid attention to at random and non effective times. Ordered a white wine- no ice chiller or table bucket or anything. Received our salads and waited and finally had to get up to get ground pepper to have someone come over and do it. We were almost through the meals before we were asked how the food was. Very noisy in the upstairs room.

    Food is really good. Service was terrible this time. Our female server had a terrible attitude and did not represent Cameron Mitchell well. If we hadn’t been here before and had great service, we wouldn’t come back.

    Definitely get the fresh made mozzarella. Other apps were good this was better. Veal chop was cut with your fork delicious, Veal Martini was good slightly underwhelming while lamb papardelle was fantastic. Tiramisu was next level. Nice chewy Zenato Amarone was reasonably priced and a great pairing.

    My chicken Marsala was very dry. I couldn’t even eat it. The bill was over $200 for 4 people even after our appetizer was comped and only 2 glasses of wine. Very over rated

    Food, as always, was outstanding. Our server was perfect. The only thing we were unsure of is the amount of alcohol that was actually in our drinks. We had grey goose in the rocks with splash of seltzer but seems like it was seltzer with a splash of grey goose

    The food was very bland. We ordered an appetizer, two salads and a meal each and we were bombarded with the salads, appetizer and bread all at once, which made us feel rushed and unenjoyable. I ordered a 10oz medium rare Tenderloin and it was medium well at best. The pasta my wife ordered would have been really good, but it came out room temperature. We wanted to try desert, but decided it wouldn’t be worth it after everything else failed to be what we expected.
