I have been coming here for years. This post is well overdue. Il Fornaio has been around for as long as I can remember. The reason being is they are consistent with the quality of their food. Please see my photo below. The linguine Mare Chairo hits so nicely. The sauce is thick and flavorful. The assortment of seafood is the perfect portions and the linguine is soft.

Professionally run corporate restaurant. Excellent service, nice space, standardized dishes, premium prices. Nice option for a low risk business lunch or first date. Food quality uneven. We had sparkling water ($9!), mixed meat appetizer (good size, uninteresting meat selections, weird addition of parmesan hunks for the cheese selection), pistachio pasta (nice flavor if you like your pesto mild, cold undercooked pasta served in an unwarmed plate), and grilled mixed fish. The grilled fish plate was beautiful to look at, less enjoyable to eat. Nice fatty piece of salmon, well cooked but over salted. Too moist, stringy/undercooked scallops without much flavor; very low quality. Nicely done good quality shrimp, perfectly cooked; lots of salt. Potatoes well cooked with too much salt. White fish was fine, not much flavor. Greens were undercooked and room temperature. The carrots might have been the best part of the dish; very flavorful and perfectly cooked. That’s all we had: $139 including tip.

RH Rooftop was fully booked on the long weekend. We came here imstead with 8 people and they provided an excellent services. Good amount of food and great tatse as well. This is a great spot for large party gathering without needing to wait for a long time. Decent food for family and kids.
