"I'll admit it: for years I mourned the loss of Bernard's and refused to consider anything that replaced it. However, I wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a life-changing event my wife had participated in at the Biltmore in 1973, so last Saturday night we had dinner at Smeraldi's, which was featuring their "La Bistecca" menu. Basically the same menu but with steak added. The chef is Sicilian, and the place definitely has an Italian flair. Since we had just come back from a couple weeks all over Italy, we said to ourselves, "hah! We'll see how authentic this place is." Verdict: VERY AUTHENTIC. Everything was fresh, great tasting, and Diego was the perfect waiter. We couldn't believe how empty the place was on a Saturday night. Go!!"

"I think the place did not look as nice as I expected but the food was alright .
I probably won't go there again because it was kind of expensive for overall reasons. Instead I guess restaurants like Olive Garden are much better."

"Menu needs improvement. Lacked choices. Also I ordered Chinese salad. It was supposed to have Chinese cabbage. They substituted romaine. Disappointed. They should have disclosed that before placing my order. The waiter was attentive. Excellent service otherwise. Verne brûlée good. Food needs better presentation and the lower room feels like you are in a basement. We were hoping to be upstairs with windows."
