Waitress great. Food, not great. Old twice baked potatoes given, no juice on steak. It has potential to be good with a real chef that cares

Very good choice of dishes, good portions for the price but the service is ordinary.

Horrible, cold soup served. Chicken after taste was terrible. Waitress never came to close us out. Waste $ and time. One of the staff asked how's everything? When picking up soup dishes, we respond it's cold. He said warmers must not be on. Took our dishes and came back saying yup I turned up warmers. No resolution as the main dishes were worse than the cold soup. Restaurants today have these high traffic reviews, but yet we experience Horrible food and service. I don't get it. Shouldn't get 1 cent from us, but we're put in such an uncomfortable situation we'd rather pay and never return. Hoping this honest review helps unsuspecting potential customers. Take your $ elsewhere.

Edited to add: It doesn’t matter if I paid to upgrade or not. I didn’t pay $30 for a steak and some broccoli. It states in YOUR listing it comes with a starch and a vegetable. You’re missing the point that i didn’t get my second side! PERIOD! Who the heck would pay $30 for a steak with no side?!!’ Come on use your brains. You could have simply CALLED and asked what side I wanted if it was not obvious that by selecting X2 that I wanted a baked potato.

Would NEVER order from here again. Whoever you all have working the phones tonight please get her out of your business! I placed an order on DoorDash for TWO ribeye steaks. Quantity TWO. Meaning i wanted two of what i ordered. Yet she tried to argue with me that i didn’t order two of the potatoes but somehow I got two of everything else lol make it make sense.

We were looking for a good place to celebrate our 42 wedding anniversary. The menu looked so inviting, but the food was not. I had a rib eye and my wife had a NY strip. Steaks we full of grissel and lacking in flavor. The salads were not fresh and the salad dressing was mostly oil. The waitress was friendly, but not at all attentive. I don't believe we'll be back nor can we recommend Martini's. Massively disappointing.

Martinis is one of two surviving upscale restaurants outside of the Central District. Fortunately location and parking are much more available. The food, service, convenience and price (although on the high side) IMO are far superior to Downtown's conjested, OVERPRICED, and noisy environments. The Boufet (when available) is c^est magnifique!

Martinis catered our wedding this past August. The food, service, and bartenders were great! All of our guests commented on how good the food was. The staff were so helpful and professional. We couldn’t have picked a better business to cater our wedding!

Came here for dinner on Saturday night with my mom. We sat on the lounge side, which was nicely decorated with party decor for their anniversary. We first started off with drinks. I got the caramel apple sangria, which was pretty good. Drink came with a cinnamon stick and was in a good size portion glass. The waitress brought us some hot rolls and butter. Next, came our soup/salads. I got the lemon rice soup, which came in a good size bowl and had some good size chicken pieces. Then, our entree came out. I had the roman crusted chicken that came with mashed potatoes. The chicken was so good! It came smothered in Ceasar dressing, parmesan cheese, and seasoning that made some nice crunchy bits (like a tempera). I could only eat part of my chicken and was able to take the rest home.
Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our meal! Our waitress was very nice and attentive. There are so many good options on the menu for everyone. I will definitely be back soon!

My husband and I stopped by Martini's for a bite to eat. We had just returned from a trip to Maryland where we were unable to get any seafood. Saddened by that turn of events, we were excited to try the Blue Crab Fondue. It did not disappoint. It was warm and creamy. The bread was buttery and toasted perfectly.

We indulged in cocktails while we enjoyed the lemon rice soup, a wedge salad (the gongazola cheese set it off), and our entree. We both enjoyed our meals: the Reuben with sweet potato fries, the Fried Groupier Sandwich.

All of our food was freshly made and excellent quality.

Our server Summerly was the best!

Parking: There was parking on the south side and behind he building.

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors and aisles were wide, walkways were flat, and there was plenty of space to maneuver our daughter's wheelchair.
