Aquilante's Bistro & Tavern

We ordered the calamari, lobster ravioli, and linguine in clam sauce. We loved the flavor of the calamari. Our friend recommended the one with banana peppers and it was delicious. A lot of the breading had fallen off though. It only went steeply downhill from there. The lobster ravioli sauce was fine but inside had barely any lobster and the pasta was so thick that it was too hard and undercooked. WAY too expensive for 6 ravioli with a pittance of lobster inside. Even worse was the linguine in clam sauce. A mountain of completely flavorless pasta and clams in a flavorless broth. If I'm going to spend $100 on dinner, I expect it to bare minimum taste good. The atmosphere was nice but doesn't make up for the food, which is why I come to a restaurant.

Went for bday dinner with family Only 2 waiters on duty both over 70 which is fine it when service is slow and at times just non-existent and then they serve you a $44.95 special with 2 naked stuffed shrimp and 5 small scallops where first bite is ad overwhelming, pungent of ammonia and had to be spit onto napkin...one had to post a review. Horrible from start to finish...the entire experience. Out of 4 entrees avdcond appetizer only the app and 1 of the entrees were "okay" . Nothing at all was seasoned, no taste...theveaiter didn't even flinch when we told him about the ammonia scallops....s if not the first time he has ever heard this. Ruined the birthday dinner...nobody wants to try to flag a waiter down avdctepirt the horrendous the entrees you want to enjoy the entire experience and n

No thanks. My birthday dinner was terrible. Seafood casserole was bad. One bite and overwhelming smell of ammonia from my scallop. My son's Alfredo had no flavor and was watery. Even the pesto needed salt. Bland calamari. So disappointed. Our waiter was nice but it was slow service cuz he was the only one in the dining room They were short staffed. Never again

Great food for last minute dinner out.

On Valentine’s Day night I had one glass of strawberry daiquiri sangria. It was very strong & didn’t taste like rum or wine, just a very strong unidentifiable alcohol. I was completely intoxicated before I left the restaurant & was sick all night. I normally have a very high tolerance for alcohol so this was extremely odd. Our waiter also noted that a patron in another room was so intoxicated that he needed help getting up to leave. Not sure what he had, but something was not right with the drinks that night. After this terrible experience I will not be returning to Aquilantes which is a shame as I previously had very positive experiences.
