Our waitress was very sweet but service was slow and she didn’t come by very often. I got the scallops with orzo and asparagus and I really enjoyed it. My husband got the sausage with broccoli rabe. He thought it was dry and it needed more sauce. I got a limoncello and I could drink it, it wasn’t good at all, but they did let me get a different drink. The bread and oil and seasonings was delicious and we especially enjoyed the live music they had. It was the highlight of dinner. Perfect tempo and volume for an enjoyable experience

A great evening, we went for the happy hour, and then moved to table for their early dining special. Overall a great evening, but and this is a big but, we understand the restaurant has been sold, and this was the last night under the current owners, and it's future is uncertain.

Delicious dishes and warm atmosphere- the lasagna was to die to for as well as the beef raviolis. All in all it was a wonderful meal and place which will be revisited!

Open table let me make an appointment and we rented a car for the day. We got there and the restaurant was closed! We had to scramble for another dinner place and wait. I don’t know how we were able to make a reservation when they were closed. Nobody sent me a message or anything the next day to apologize or explain. Not happy

I reserved a time to eat for 8:45pm when my fiancé and I arrived at 8:50pm a clean up guy came to the hostess stand and told me they were closed. Mind you, I saw two couples still eating and the singers still performing. When I called to inquire were they really closed as they post 10pm as the closing time, I was met with the rudeness of some Italian guy who's name I don't know. He told me I should have been on time and that if no one is there they close early. I was 5 minutes late and there were people still eating. I didn't argue I politely told him "have a nice night sir" and he hung up before I could get that out. Long story short, I went to Cafe Epicure and had great service and great food. I will never go to Bevardi's again. To think we were considering having our wedding welcome party there is sickening. I hope they are blessed and God blesses them with good manners.
