The servers were nice and attentive except for some woman with a slight mustache who kept giving me creepy stares. The bartender always looked upset and I caught her yelling at her poor gussets and servers. The bussers seemed to be doing most of the work and were all gentlemen and sweet teenagers. I had a talk with the manager and he scared me away before I could finish my food. He was a tall man who reminded me of a scarecrow, name was Ash if I recall. As I went to the bathroom he followed me with a brisk, wide smile that made me switch to a jog. Definitely having management problems if this creep runs the place. Food was delicious though, just expensive and small portions.

Amazing food, amazing service, reasonably priced and genuinely an amazing dining experience. If you like italian food, go.
Waitress was too young and inexperienced; poor thing! Under age drinking so could not even serve us our drinks. Manager a bit of a jerk trying to prove my that the pen worked to sign the bill! And please some change on the menu!!! It is limited and has been the same for ages

Nothing special about this dinner. I do though appreciate them taking us as walk-ins on a Tuesday when many other places are closed. The beginning of our dinner seemed to be fine. We were seated quickly and greeted by a server within 5 minutes. However, she didn’t introduce herself and dropped off the menu with specials and asked what kind of water we preferred. By the time she brought the water we were ready to order. Two appetizers, two pastas. Cesar salad lacked the dressing, but it’s whatever. Our server came back when our plates were fully cleaned and she asked how everything was and if she can clear the table which we said “ of course” to. Our pastas were taking some time and then our server came up to us and asked if we wanted dessert?? We said that we didn’t get our pastas yet and she was like - oh, what did you get? And then said that pasta should be coming in two minutes. Pasta did arrive pretty fast. After that it was impossible to get our server. She never checked on us. The table next to us was waiting for a while to be greeted by the same server. And they were even ready to order by the time she came up and that’s when we also asked her to bring us a check. Took another 5-10 minutes for her to stop by our table and ask AGAIN if we wanted a dessert menu after we already asked for a check. As industry people ourselves we are pretty understanding and patient, but it was just not it. Could not wait to get out of there any faster.

Booked a reservation for 7:30 and our table wasn’t available until almost 8pm. Wait staff was kind but the kitchen was totally swamped with orders. Almost nobody in the restaurant was served food for a solid hour. We almost had to walk out before finally getting our meal 1hr+ after ordering. Food was good but the meal was spoiled by poor service. Disappointing given the upscale price & atmosphere

Outstanding food, great service and pleasant, friendly ambiance. Also, they are open for dinner every night of the week where most others in the area are not open midweek. Highly recommend.
We love Fern! The new staff members are so welcoming and knowledgeable, and the manager Barbara seems to run a tight ship while always staying friendly and kind. Always a great experience every time we visit!

Sorry, but Fern did not reach the level of a good place to dine. Service..very sloppy, stacking dishes while eating. Too young to know dining etiquette among other things.food too expensive for what you get. $18 for Caesar salad..lettuce, bread crumbs! Pizza..totally soggy in middle. Hotter than hot in dining room..Manager insisted the AC was on everyone sweating! Unsophisticated, not worth it in an area where they need good food ! If you say something to waiters, they give you that sneering look. I never review restaurants but felt that I had to write this.

Strangley to my delight this beautiful little secret was delightful. From being kindly greeted at the door to wonderful attentive service ( we were a party of 6 including 2 kids), it just continued into the evening. We ordered the ribeye steak, pizza and the kids pasta. All were well pleasing. The 2 things that were not my favorite were the chocolate pudding for dessert and the basil cooler cocktail. It could be just me, but the cocktail tasted a bit bitter and the pudding tasted just like Jell-O pudding. Def would recommend and will return!
