We had reservations at the parlor. The vibe is amazing! The decor is unbelievably fun. Not a lot of food options in that spot so we had some yummy holiday themed cocktails and then went to eat in the sports bar area. Food was really good. I had the chicken and waffles. I love that it was boneless, tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. Lemon pancakes were really good too. Would be 5 star if service were faster, but were patient and they were friendly. We'll be back for sure in Feb for the next theme in the parlor. Probably will come back and rent a simulator room for a party also.

We had the prosciutto and melon appetizer, Caesar Salad, carbonara, rigatoni alla vodka, and prosciutto pizza with the pasta cake for dessert! Excellent meal, service, and ambiance. Will most definitely plan Sicilia Mia for our future special occasion dinners!

We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect. I forgot that I mentioned our anniversary when I made the reservation, but they had a happy anniversary sign on our table with rose pedals. Nice touch. Everyone was wishing us a happy anniversary and making sure that we were well taken care of, especially our waitress. The food (filet) was incredible, as usual. Even the valet service was super smooth. These guys have luxury dining down to a science from A - Z. Worth every penny. Thank you! I would give you six stars if I could.
