Our server was perfect for us! The food was delicious. It got difficult to hear each other but that helped us wrap up our evening. I’ll be back!

We often go to Chianti Grill for special occasions, or just when we want a delicious meal. The food is excellent, it's a lovely setting with less noise than many restaurants, and the service is outstanding. One of us had pasta, and the others had filet mignon; everything was delicious, as well as a bottle of prosecco just for fun. Thank you Chianti Grill for a really delicious and fun experience.

In particular I want to complement the chef on their fall walleye special. It was outstanding! For anyone reading this review, get to Chianti Grill before mid-November (when the special ends) and enjoy this fabulous dish! It’s the best prepared walleye I’ve ever had.

• Contemporary Italian • Downtown / Mill District

We were seeing a show nearby and looking for a quick bite to eat so we tried out Mother Clucker's because how do you walk past a place with that name and not go in? It was SO GOOD. Seriously. The bartender was so nice and recommended the chicken sandwich with mac as "fire." She was not wrong. So. Good.

Well kept secret which I am passing around as this Italian restaurant is divine. Nice cozy environment with wonderful food. Still thinking about what a delicious meal we had!
