We had an early dinner last night and everything and the experience was excellent. This was our fourth time there and have always had a good experience. They have a good selection of wine, different price ranges, and the menu is well rounded although not extensive. I love the atmosphere which is business casual rather than stuffy/dressy, and set in... More

My husband and I ate at Backstreet on March 30th. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and have been to Backstreet several times over the years and have always enjoyed it. This time was good, but not the great we have had in the past. Took forever to get a server. We had to flag one down and he started... More

Heard very good comments about the restaurant and we were looking forward to eating there. Good selection of wines although they are missing Italian wine by the glass. We had an interesting appetizer but our main meals were ok. Maybe our expectations were too high....we may try it again

We went for brunch on a lovely Saturday. A few hundred other people had the same idea. The place was packed and even had a cop directing traffic into the parking lot and the valet stand. Interesting. With so many patrons we immediately wondered if they could possibily handle this many people without compromising everything. Service? Food? Well, to their... More

Weak point: For large parties, the restaurant taxes the food total and ALSO taxes the gratuity (which was an automatic 20% due to our size). I reSearched this and evidently it is legal, but since it was not itemized on the bill, was sneaky. So this is what happened. My family and I (party of 12) dined here for my... More

Based on other reviews, must have hit them on an off day. The Chicken Milanese w/red pepper walnut pesto had very little flavor. The pesto was a breading on the chicken and very bland but the mac and cheese side was very good. The seafood and cauliflower "steaks" were also a bit bland. Service was excellent on a very busy...

Have been a number of times because it is a popular place peole want to eat. Great little house to eat in. Unfortunately, the food is more expensive than it is good. Nothing is ever bad, it just does not live up to its price or its reputation.

Had lunch on the patio during the week. Each table has an umbrella and the setting is very quaint and serene. We all had the special of red snapper over cauliflower cous cous and spinach. The fish was perfectly cooked and delicious and the cous cous was unique and also delicious. I hear there is a great brunch and I... More

Just before noon today Chef Hugo sent an internet message announcing a temporary artichoke menu. We stood up and drove there immediately. We've been to Backstreet many times and have always been delighted, so we wanted to see what Hugo is doing. Choices included misto fritto, artichokes with crawfish, artichokes with portobello mushrooms, and others. We both ordered misto fritto,... More
