I was anxious to try this restaurant based on reviews I've read. My first time there was for my birthday. A friend of mine went out of his way to make reservations and tried to make arrangements with the serving staff to make the occasion special. We waited a long time, despite having reservations (Wed. night). The food looked appetizing, but it was bland. I can't even remember what I ordered. We had difficulty flagging down our server. It may as well have been an ordinary day because nothing else happened. No birthday wishes, no dessert (as my friend had arranged). I was very disappointed. I gave Il Fornaio another chance. I went there for lunch with coworkers. Service was poor, my steak was undercooked and rubbery. Everyone fought for the salt to try to make their food more palatable. Maybe the other locations have better service/food. Not this one!
Pros: Good Ambience
Cons: Poor Service, Bland Food, Parking Structure
