    Easy to make reservations . Greeted warmly and seated right away. Justin was just an awesome server: easily engaged in conversation, checked on us frequently, friendly, refilled drinks before we needed to ask. Just a great experience overall! Sandwiches : Reuben, club and cheeseburger with the garlic fries were outstanding! And we really like the large pretzel with the mustard and beer cheese. Justin took awesome care of us!!

    Superb. Tyler very clearly knows his way around the menu and hospitality, and his guidance played a huge role in our fabulous dinner experience. Mussels were plump and sweet, deviled eggs had a lovely brightness from the chimichurri, and my duck was cooked perfectly. We were recommended a bottle of white wine, which paired well with all our dishes. I’m rarely impressed with Italian concepts these days self-admittedly, but Alfio’s has moved to the top of my list. Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner.
