                                                              After an underwhelming Valentine’s Day experience, the 54 Mint team reached out to me offering a gift card and we decided to return and give them another chance. It seemed like we were at a different restaurant this time. Our server Jacob was lovely, attentive and cheerful. The gnocchi w ragu was a delicious appetizer and we thoroughly enjoyed the Roasted chicken and lamb chop entrees. Kudos to the Mint team for making up for a previous negative experience, and we will be back!

                                                              We went to support a neighborhood restaurant and enjoyed the Restaurant Week prize fixe menu. Warm, welcoming, efficient service, lovely space that had a buzz but was quiet enough for conversation, and food that was a cut above what we expected. Beautifully prepared and presented central Italian dishes. We will certainly be back!

                                                              We love this restaurant! It takes us right back to Rome. But selfishly, I hesitate to make others aware of this restaurant because I would hate not to be able to make a reservation here. We have been multiple times and the food has been consistently excellent. The staff have been extremely attentive. Our favorite waitress Susana has been there every time.

Service is always excellent; we sat and ate at the bar and established a great conversation with bartender Jose, who is very affable, knowledgeable and sincerely enjoys his job. (give that man a raise). Another excellent person was the Italian waiter with the glasses who gave us great advice on what wine to have with the lamb chops. Telling everyone how great the place is; never take those chops off the menu
