    I was having dinner (we had a reservation at 5:30pm) with a friend and we had finished supper, we were still not finished with conversation at our table and drinking and water. A Caucasian male wearing a cardigan or long sleeve with what I believe to be silver or gray looking (maybe dirty blonde?) hair walked right up to our table and rudely grabbed the glass water bottle without asking and put it in the back of the kitchen area. Didn’t ask if we were done, didn’t thank us for our business, didn’t acknowledge we even existed. I didn’t want to address this at the restaurant because it was a joint birthday (for myself and my best friend) but it isn’t sitting well with me and figured I’d let you know either way. Not sure who this person is but clearly, didn’t leave a lasting favorable impression for me or my friend. The rest of the waitstaff was nice and cordial. This was our first time at Delfina and unfortunately our last.

    Had a reservation for 7 PM but wasn’t seated until 7:15. Noise level was so high It was hard to talk to the person at my table.  Food was poorly described and average at best.  Ordered a dish described as Petrali sole and got a plate of pasta with a few little pieces of Petrali presumably. We won’t go back.

    We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Delfina. Our server, Angela, was excellent. She was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The food is solid, and the drinks are tasty. I enjoyed a glass of prosecco that was poured generously. The ambiance is lively, and people clearly enjoy themselves. The music is loud, so be prepared. That's the only reason I'm deducting a star. Still, we would return.

    Great food and great service. I see that some folks say it’s on the noisier side but I found it to be easy to talk and totally comfortable.

    Everything we ordered was delectable. The anchovy toast was sublime. On first view, it seemed that there was an abundance of butter, but after the first bite, the realization loomed large; it was divine. We were a table of four celebrating Hector‘s birthday and we shared everything. The grilled calamari with rice beans and parsley oil was legendary. Although, Pasta Pomodoro could be ordinary everywhere else; at Delfina, it was extraordinary. Simple fresh spaghetti, tomatoes, a smattering of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Ooh La La! The wood grilled short rib, fell off her big bones, and we sopped it up with bread and warmed ricotta cheese and added the garlicky chard for the green factor. Let me not forget the creamy and delicious potato gratinata. I washed this meal down with a medium bodied Tuscan Chianti, which married well with the competing flavors of this meal. To end this perfect evening, we shared Coco Nib Pavlova, caramel gelato, warmed chocolate sauce, and hazelnuts. A candle, a wish, a toast to Hector my friend and hairdresser extraordinaire. 49 Never looked so good . Yes. Happy birthday, Hector. Our server Sandra was exemplary with her suggestions, her personality and her vision.  In gratitude.
