Paoletti's Restaurant, Highlands

Mixed Reactions on Food and Wine, TOO Pricey for the selection. Their Es cargo appetizer is a must have, I wasn't impressed in the Lobster Ravioli, its terrible.They only sell wine by the bottle and half bottles, a obvious sales gimmick, all of which are overpriced. Wasn't happy about that either. All in all, if money is not a worry to you its a fine place to go. They cater to the dollar here, If your not spending money, your in-you order, you eat and the bills on the table before your done. They want you out so they can get someone else. If you have lots of $$ to spend they kiss your butt till its rosy red and your treated like a king. Never preferred that type of pretentious service, but others do.

I have eaten at Paoletti's a few times and had been a big fan despite the expensive price tag, but recently I had a poor trip that made me feel otherwise. I went the weekend after Valentine's Day to share a romantic meal. But I ended up waiting 20 minutes past my reservation to be seated, was seated at a card table set up in the corner of the restaurant by a drafty door, not waited on by our waitress for 10 minutes after finally being seated, our waitress forgot to bring us a glass of wine we ordered, it so was crowded that our neighbors were within elbow rubbing proximity, and despite the good food the $120 price tag for two meal and two glasses of wine was NOT worth it. It will take a lot for Paoletti's to make up for this poor dinning experience.

Paoletti's is a wonderful restaurant with the best food and wine and has many repeat customers for many years.I would disregard the above review.It is a great place to eat.
