2 of us were there for restaurant week so we each ordered an appetizer, a meat/fish, a side and a dessert. Per person, it was $40. Not bad at all. Not far from Rivers Casino. The food was delicious. The waitress was friendly. It was the atmosphere that kind of paled a tad. We arrived there and it was cold. I kept my sweater coat on. Someone must have requested the heat get turned up. Thats when it started smelling like diesel in the restaurant. At first, we thought it was our waitress but we think her walking over to us just fanned the smell more in our direction. The second thing here is that the heat control was above where I was seating. So during our table time, a man came over to adjust the heat and it was ackward as he stood with his waist equal heighth to my field of vision. Was it a big deal? No. But it did effect the ambiance if you will. Restaurant operations should be "separate" from the customer experience. I dont want to feel like Im home in my living room. I want to feel like where I am: Getting a good meal cooked and served to me. After all, that is why we choose to dine out, right? All was great aside. For a family atmosphere, its a good place to chat and have a few laughs while consuming some great italian fare. Enjoy! Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

We went for the flaming cheese wheel meal. Frankly, I was disappointed. I expected more of a show. The shrimp appetizer was excellent. The bread "course" was ice cold, with 3 slices of bread for 2 people with a couple of pats of butter. The unlimited pasta course was a mixed bag. The portions were generous but inconsistent. My wife's pasta was very dry, but mine was soupy. The flavor was good and made with high quality ingredients. The dessert course of two chocolate chip canollis was very good. I do want to give Cornell's another shot. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was outstanding and except for the pasta dish and bread, the food was great.

My wife and I planned a Valentine’s Day evening at Cornell’s and were thoroughly disappointed by the entire experience. The first disappointment was the prix fixe menu that was the only option for dinner. We had never been to Cornell’s before and we made the reservation based on the promise of quality Italian food. This menu was not it. Of the items on the menu the risotto appetizer and the zeppole were the only things that remotely qualified. Zero pasta. Other tables were offered and received a complementary glass of Prosecco. Our server did not offer this to us at any time. Items on the menu were not as described. My wife’s salad mentioned it contained black currants. They were raisins and boy were they generous with the raisins. My Caesar salad was terrible - Carabba’s makes a better one. The next course was no better. My wife’s risotto was nothing special and my lamb chops were poorly presented (four chops lined up on a plate with brown sauce) and overcooked. Entrees were awful. My wife’s duck entree had a sliced dry duck breast and the description promised asparagus and what was given was broccoli that was clearly frozen from a bag and steamed. My braised short rib, while falling apart was dry and barely edible. I was promised fingerling potatoes and received mediocre and overcooked russet potatoes. They were borderline inedible. I also received the same thawed broccoli instead of asparagus. When it came to dessert we’d heard another server in the room offering items that were not listed on the menu - panna cotta and a pistachio cake. They were never offered to us. My zeppole were fine and my wife’s cheesecake was acceptable. I’ve had better meals at chain restaurants with better service for a fraction of the price. Charging $80/pp for mediocre buffet food entirely because it is Valentine’s Day is insulting. The point of a prix fixe menu is to limit the amount of work the kitchen needs to do to prepare quality food for a large number of covers - Cornell’s failed at this. Miserably. While our server wasn’t outwardly rude to us, she was not friendly or welcoming at any time. If this is the effort that Cornell’s is willing to put out on the busiest night of the year to eat out, I have zero interest in returning to try again. I feel like a sucker.

We had the best dinner last night and Ross our waiter was the best! We had the salmon special and veal raphael. Both were excellent along with our drinks. Great atmosphere and staff is wonderful!

A great ladies night out, for the 4 of us. Everything from the appetizers to desserts were delicious! You left full and with a lot of yummy leftovers for another meal! The waitress was very attentive and was funny as heck. The atmosphere was great. It wasn't noisy, so we could actually relax and converse without having to ask "huh? Or what?" LOL. Great experience!

My wife and I enjoyed Cornell's very much. The service was attentive and helpful, but not overwhelming. We also appreciated the size of the portions; they seemed just right, at least for us. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet. It might be less so on a very busy night, but there seemed to be a lot of dining areas to spread things out. Was $28 a bit much for my bowl of cacio e pepe? Perhaps, but that seems to be the rule these days and the good service and overhead have to be paid for too.

Fantastic service from the moment we (party of seven) stepped in to the moment we walked out the door. Food was delicious, from apps to entrees, desserts and coffees. Quite easy to run up an impressive bill but the food is worth it and it was a great time had by all. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
