VERY BAD PLACE ,NEVER GOING BACK

by barcritic39 at Citysearch

WHAT A RIP OFF

over priced everything ,bad menu of junk

big ugly patio very noisy from all the traffic going by

inside the bar is crazy unless you pay extra for a table

& you don't have a big piller in front of you

service really SUCKS & the manager is a clown that could care less what you want . what a loser

this place really needs a new owner that cares about the

costumers & not the $$$$$ that he is ripping off from us.

some of the music is ok & some not

the band room is laid out very bad

bewear of some reviews i think there from the people that work there

bring your $$$ lot's of it ,you will need it

NOT WORTH IT ,I'LL NEVER GO BACK

I am so glad that we found this restaurant it was very good and the atmosphere was very conducive for a large party. There was 10 os us for Brunch and everything was very fresh and the service was top notch. I definitely recommend this for any occasion. I am going to try dinner next!

• Pros: clean, service was top notch, food was very fresh

Fabulous Jazz Brunch

by crooth at Citysearch

WOW... what a great afternoon.

Took family from out of town for Sunday Brunch at Spaghettini's. The food seemend to be endless and beautifully displayed. I have very hard to impress inlaws from Sweden and fresh fish is a must. They we very pleased with the buffet portion of the brunch which was abundant with fresh fish and salads.For the entree portion of the brunch ( yes, that right there is two phases to this brunch. So pace yourself). I highly recommend the Lamb ( try it even if you are not a fan of lamb you will be pleasently suprised). Another entree not to miss is the Sea Bass. Daruch was our waiter and he was very attentivethe entire meal. Also note if you are into wines there is a an amazing selection to choose f rom. If you are not sure ask your waiter, ours was very knowledgable. It was worth the price..

Looking foward to returning soon.

Sunday Brunch was a bad experience

by CatherineAIC at Citysearch

Went to $60 Sunday Brunch. Made reservations. They put us in seperate room from live music. One large table of salads. Three other small tables with stale waffles & bread. No live person to make anything fresh. No prime rib or ham. Many items had too much mayonnaise or oil. ALL the fish was fishy. Including the Bass as an entree. Lamb entree was very good. WAY OVER PRICED. Will never go back for Sunday Brunch.

• Pros: If you are in jazz room it's brobably fun.
• Cons: Sunday Brunch was awful

Come for the jazz, NOT the overpriced very mediocre food...

This classy venue for great jazz unfortunately doesn't have the menu or food to match. My recent and first time visit to Spaghettini to celebrate my mom's birthday was one of disappointment. The bone-in rib eye steak I ordered ($38) was moderately flavorful and very tough to cut and chew. About 1/3 of my steak was inedible. My date's filet mignon ($38) was slightly better but rather plain and paltry. My father's mushroom penne ($24) was probably the best entree that evening, having a wonderfully savory creamy garlic sauce infused with fresh minced mushrooms. My mother's Spagehettini with meatballs ($24) was atrocious. The spaghetti was overcooked; the sauce was bland; and the meatballs were firm and chewy. The Caesar salad ($10) was so plain that I wondered if there was any dressing on it at all. The salad boasted Grana Pandano cheese but I didn't see any on my plate. Ironically, the highlight of my entree was my side dish of gorgonzola macaroni and cheese with broccoli. The mildly buttery cheese sauce was light and savory with hints of oven-crusted cheese. For dessert, the creme brulee topped with fresh fruit was a winner. The custard was very smooth and not too sweet - an item I would definitely order again. Being able to hear the live jazz from any place in the restaurant (including the restroom) was a plus. However, the sound system will tell you which instrument is closest to the microphone and the indoor acoustics could use some work. I wish "valet service" was optional, considering that the parking lot really isn't that big. The service was good and I enjoyed the interior decor. In summary, this restaurant seems to be caught in "no-man's land": it isn't sure if should be upscale restaurant or an amazing jazz venue/lounge. Its attempt to combine the two fail miserably and you may leave - as I did - wishing they would simply decide on one or the other.

• Pros: Live jazz, great ambience, service, wine selection
• Cons: Overpriced borderline average food, unnecessary valet service.
