"Been there 4 times now, once for Lunch, rest for dinner. One time, it wasn't the best, but I think it was just an off night. All other times, including the last 2 times have been outstanding. Food and Service were both excellent."

"We spent our 53rd wedding anniversary at the restaurant on Tuesday evening. It was not crowded and we had great service and the food has always been excellent. One of my favorites. I would highly recommend it for any occasion. The presentation of food is outstanding."

"This was my second visit to The Pavilion Restaurant. The first visit was a date night with my wife, and this lastest was to take another couple out for dinner for a birthday. The food was very good again on this visit. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and artichoke appetizer and I had the seafood linguine for dinner. The taste and presentation were excellent. Although our server was very nice and professional, the service was a little slow with regards to when we were asked our order compared to when we were all seated. The food also took a little bit of time to get to the table. I still believe that this is a great place for a date night."

"Went here because of positive reviews, but did not enjoy the food or service. iIt does have a surpisingly beautiful ambiance for a strip mall, except that you walk right into the dining area (don't be in the middle of a loud conversation). Our calamari was mediocre and the salads were fine, but the filet mignon had gravy with mushrooms on it. It was awful - both the flavoring and the fact that the steak had been over cooked (who puts gravy on filet???) The tiramisu was not great, the ladyfingers were a little dry. In addition, the service was quite slow. If t had not been for the filet, I don't think we would have noticed the other things as much. Perhaps a different choice would have made this a different experience"

"We were ver pleasantly surprised with the pavilion! It is a diamond in the rough. Definitely set away off the beaten path. The good wax outstanding. All four of us loved our entrees. Plenty of quality food for the price. Saved room for dessert too. Highly recommend."

"My wife and I dined on 4/3/13. Used Travelzoo voucher. We had Chilean Bass, and Salmon entrees. Possibly the best we've ever had. Excellent presentation. Will definitely choose Pavillion Restaurant for future dining. Very impressed with food and service."

"We used a Living Social Deal and was impressed; it is tucked into a strip mall so not the easiest to find; very nice decor and bar area; the food portions were generous and they even have a kids menu; good quality, service, and presentation; abit pricey so not sure that we would go back without a groupon type deal; we went on a Saturday evening and the keyboard player was abit loud but overall, a good find."
