Delightful ambiance and, oh my gosh, the Chilean Sea Bass is to die for! The chef sent a complimentary appetizer and the service was excellent! We'll be back again and again!
To whom it may concern:I'd like to offer a suggestion following my visit today (9/28/2025) for Sunday Brunch. The food was fabulous—thank you!This was our first time back since we dined here a year ago to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Unfortunately, last year the food did not meet our expectations, so we were hoping to have an enjoyable experience all the way around this time.While waiting in a long line outside for lounge seating, my boyfriend and I (as well as other guests) encountered a very large number of gnats. It wasn't just a few—they were persistent, and several got into my hair during the wait. After about 10 minutes, I went inside and learned from the hostess that main restaurant seating was available without the outdoor wait. This was not clear from outside, so perhaps posting a sign or having a staff member direct guests could be helpful.Additionally, once we were seated at our table inside, I was still having to flick gnats off my arms, face, and blouse.Thank you for considering this suggestion. Aside from this, we had a wonderful experience and truly hope to enjoy our next visit from start to finish!
First time iv left this place feeling not satisfied. Shrimp Appetizer was Cold. My New Zealand lamb chop had no flavor. Worst rack of lamb iv ever had. The other entrees were mediocre. The seafood pasta had no seafood in it. I was very disappointed tonight. Cause I do love this place. I give it a 2 for food tonight Sorry. I will go back. But will never get the lamb or the pasta
Overall it was a great experience . We sat outside which was great. Could still hear the live music but we could still hear each other . We had the Ahi Tower. Garlic bread and seafood pasta . All of which were delicious . It's a little over priced but the food and service were amazing . Would definitely recommend and we would come back again
Great food, drink, service and entertainment. Great for dates and business, but at night leave the kids at home.
We eat here frequently. Last night was more exceptional than other visits as the service was superb. Food is consistently good and everything was served at the right pace.
Sunday night was busy and the jazz band was very loud. Our reservation was honored and we were seated promptly at 8:00. It took around 15-20 minutes for a server to take drink orders. Another 20 minutes for him to return for food order. We were not served until around 9:15 and then the server forgot one order. Everyone was finishing by the time the last order arrived. This is a great restaurant but they had an off night. I believe most of the fault lay with the server.
The live music, ambience, food, drinks and service were all top tier. Our server, Kazi and manager, Terri made sure my husband and I had a wonderful first time experience. We will return very soon.
Great place! I was celebrating my anniversary with my husband and they went above and beyond to make our night special. The wait staff was very attentive. I'd go back (when I can save enough to), special occasion place for sure.
We’ve been here several times for dinner and a show. First time for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint. Tables are a bit closer together during brunch but it’s all in good fun and in the overall experience.

I gave 4 stars because only because this restaurant is an iconic destination and it is an experience to visit. I understand that Spaghettni is a Jazz restaurant but when you are in the dining room you want to be able to talk with your table mates, this was tough as the single saxophone was way too loud coming from the lounge. I had spaghetti and meatballs, sorry to say, the sauce was flavorless, the pasta was overcooked, the meatballs were okay, four of them, too many, $38.00, way too expensive. Pasta with no protein, $32.00, cup of soup before dinner, I mean just a little cup, $12.00. I don't mind paying for fine dining, I do it all the time but the key word here is, fine dining, this was not, seriously, better tasting food could be had at any number of mama/papa neighborhood Italian restaurants. The very least they should do is to improve the pallet appeal of their food, starting with the very basics, the sauce. Finally, parking is sparse so you are forced to valet, $12.00. BTW, this was a Monday night at 6PM. 
Extremely loud from show in other room !! Ruins any ambience. Slow service but food was good.
Great place for dinner and family gathering. Food and service was outstanding. Will come back.
Went to Father's Day brunch and was not pleased with the prearranged limited 4 course brunch menu that did not allow for any menu modifications. I was honestly surprised that with such a reputation as a great spot for brunch, that it seems to be because of the entertainment only - not the overpriced food which I found to be pretty bland.The entertainment was great, but otherwise, this place is overrated. It seems its glory days are long gone.
When I arrived Early yet had bad seats..The salad was bad and tasteless so I cancelled the food..if the salad is nasty that's a sign.. waitress was angry at my Husband.. for canceling the food.I've been here before..I'm SAD to say it's NOTHING like it was.. Said there was a dress code but there were people there with flip flops and tank tops on.. Even the margarita which was supposed to be watermelon was disgusting. I also noticed that no one else was eating so they must know that the food is bad also ,the place was packed. So when you're broke you should go to spaghetinis for wine and entertainment that's it!!!! no food!.. That's what I experienced on Father's Day..sign PISSED 😡
