    Chris was an excellent server. This was our first time dining here and we would 100% come back! He recommended the best starters and entrees. We were also celebrating an Anniversary and he made sure to make our experience one to remember, including a complimentary desert and glasses of champagne to toast.

    We dined at Tuscany to celebrate a birthday. As soon as we walked in, the service was excellent and continued throughout our dinner. Our waiter was attentive and made sure every one of our needs was met. The food was delicious and came in generous portions. Five stars all the way!!

    Four of us had a very lovely late lunch. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars was the fish & Chips had a bit too much coating on it.The waitress was excellent.

    Three staff is EXCELLENT!!! Everyone from the hostess, to the runners to the waiter, all fantastic! Food was VERY VERY good, great flavors. Some portions were good size, others need to be a little larger, especially based on price. Dessert, chocolate cake was Great. The alcoholic drinks are WAY TOO OVERPRICED. Would love to have had a second drink, not easy to expensive and not enough alcohol in the mixed drinks.
