    Always great food and service. Large portions. It was a quieter night which kept the noise level down. If it’s a full house noise level is higher

    We had a great evening out at Sinners. We were welcomed in such a friendly manner at the front desk when we arrived and were seated right away. Our waiter was fantastic. Gave us great suggestions for both cocktails and food selection. The food was just delicious from the complimentary bruchetta to the shrimp appetizer, the salad was delicious and although our steak was cooked a little more than we would have liked it, it didn’t matter because it was so tasty. The cheesecake was smooth and wonderful but the best thing of the evening was the pistachio martini! Wow. Just out of this world delicious. Hats off to the chef, the staff and the bartender. Thank you for a wonderful night out!
