Got there for our 5:15 reservation to find the restaurant wouldn’t be opening for the evening. The employees were sitting around not seeming to know what to do and it would have sure been nice if someone would have called to let us know before we came downtown to try this restaurant. We won’t be back.

We thought we had reservations at what would be a very nice Italian restaurant. Turns out it’s just a restaurant in the lobby of a hotel. 5:30 reservations for two in an empty restaurant got us plunked at a two top table in the middle of a big open room by the bar. No window seat? No quiet dining at the edge? Everything available but the worst position there. Dinner came out with vegetables swapped on plates and they made us scrape them off and switch them. Just nothing like the experience we thought we were going to have whatsoever.

Food and ambiance were adequate. But I’ve never experienced a more unenthusiastic or impersonal server or distracted bartender in my life. Definitely NOT worth the visit if you’re a local!

There to have dinner before a show at the Hawthorne. I mentioned in my reservation it was my sister’s birthday. When we arrived there was only one other table seated )This was a Sat night) and the waitress gave us like the worst table in the whole place. A 2 top stuck up against a pillar. Why?!? Maybe that’s why no is at your restaurant.

I think the restaurant appears to suffer being understaffed as does the entire hotel at The Last Hotel. We did not wait too long for food because on a Sun and Mon there were not many people BUT the food was unevenly cooked. Chicken Marsala was excellent and a good portion whereas a side spaghetti was undercooked beyond al dente and the meatballs were forgotten. The bartend was eating her meal at the bar while patrons were eating: we having a family anniversary and a couple on an obvious date (he gave her a bouquet of flowers) and staff eating just outside dining area slightly in view takes away from the atmosphere for special moments.

We’ve eaten here many times and have never had a bad experience. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the ambiance is both sophisticated and welcoming. I love this place!

I ordered the tortellini and it was fabulous!! 10 out of 10! The Bruschetta was equally as magnificent- very different than the usual … the chef knows how to combine flavors- then they offered this Bread that was like gnocchi but not - herbs in it - loved it! Service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend!!

Ordered chicken Alfredo and the chicken was obviously a frozen chicken breast that was heated up. Basically rubber. Pizza was good. Bruschetta was just ok.

Nice unassuming restaurant in the Last Hotel. Mainly Italian with a steak or two for the carnivores among us. Was blown away by the pizza - so thin and just enough sauce and toppings to make it good, with a nice crispy crust. Cauliflower app was also good with a spicy finish. Kudos to chef for the black garlic pasta, as well as the salad options. All in all a good spot for a quiet (no sports TVs, no blaring techno) night out and comfort food.
