  What a memorable dinner we had at Sestina last weekend. We could certainly see why our waiter Reuben gets requested! He knows that menu like I knew the 1982 Dallas Cowboys roster (team pic was in my room growing up). He was super-helpful. We started with the bread service, the little gem lettuces, and the meatballs. All were wonderful and those meatballs were a little piece of heaven! For the main course, we split the Australian wagyu strip, the roasted half chicken, and the radiatori for our pasta. We also had the crispy artichoke, and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes. It was all SO good. That strip was other-worldly, as Reuben told us that it was aged over 300 days. The crispy artichoke? Beautiful surprise- just melted in my mouth. For dessert, we had the mousse al cioccolato, a piece of chocolate cake with an awesome orange sauce and the tiramisu martini. Just exceptional. Delicious food, beautiful spot, and we WILL be back!

  Went for the first time today just for a quick drink and dessert, had heard great things about both. Everything was amazing, our server Kerry made the experience absolutely wonderful. Everyone was just incredible and that reviews were correct, will be dreaming of the mousse and tiramisu martini. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu soon. Thank you Sestina Team!

  Extremely disappointed in this place. We were excited to try to the 48 oz Florentine steak. We were told they were sold out. (This was 6 pm on a Saturday night and they didn't have their signature item.) I ordered something else anyway and that took over an hour to get to our table. Waiter disappeared for almost 20 minutes. It took another 5 minutes to get an extra plate. Reservation was at 6:15. Didn't eat until 7:45. Didn't leave until 9. Total bill = $300. The food itself is good but the operations leave a lot to be desired, especially for price point. Do better. Will likely not be back.

  Really disappointed in our experience last night :/ My friend and I had just driven 5 hours to be in town for a friends baby shower. I had reservations for 8:45, and was excited to try a new spot and sit down and catch up. We sat down, and our server offered to run through the menu. I told her verbatim, “we are going to just start with drinks and apps but might do a meal after”. She puts in our drinks and bread service and comes back maybe 1 minute later. She expresses that “this is more of a steak dinner vibe” and that “the vibe you’re looking for is probably upstairs”. I asked her if there was room at The Eddy, and she goes on to suggest that one of us should go look, stay up there and save the spot upstairs, and that she’d cash us out with my friend downstairs and we could take our drinks up. I was honestly shocked! We had just driven 5 hours and were excited to sit down and enjoy the spot only for our server to tell us we need to move upstairs within maybe a few minutes of being there. We hadn’t even gotten our drinks yet? Once she did bring our drinks, she mentioned going ahead and cashing us out again. I booked this restaurant for a reason. She very much insinuated we were mistaken in the “vibe” that we wanted, and that we should’ve started upstairs. I have been a server for 4 years and would never in a million years rush out my guests like that, or question their intention. Nowhere on the website does it say that to be able to sit at a table, you have to order an entree upfront. We had every intention of looking more throughly at the menu, and ordering more…we simply just wanted to start out with a drink and appetizer first and not feel rushed. But after that? Absolutely not.

  Valentine’s Day 2026 dinner, the atmosphere was nice, and the servers were friendly. We were supposed to have a proseco starter and we never received that. We ordered the bread service first and it was excellent, we also ordered the salad which was nothing exciting, and the meatballs were good but nothing special, we then ordered the lobster ravioli and I was able to taste the lobster but my husband did not - we had to salt the dish. We both ordered a steak, my husband got the ribeye and it was bland and rubbery, for an $86 steak we expected much more. My filet mignon I ordered with the blue cheese crust and the truffle butter so it was excellent because there was extra seasoning involved. What we didn’t know was that there would be large gaps in between the courses like they do in Italy but that was not explained to us so we waited sometimes 20 minutes in between courses. Nobody asked us how the food was tasting, including our server and nobody came over to do a table touch to see how we were enjoying our experience or to say happy Valentine’s Day there was nothing special about the service either. Overall, the food and the service could’ve been better, especially with a $400 bill.
