Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar Lexington

I called the day before for a reservation of 11. Was told yes we could have a separate room and would get a call back on Sat. That never happened and the reservation was lost. When I called on Sat, we could not get a reservation until 7:30. The hostess said who did you talk to the day before and you should have used open table. I didn't think open table would take reservations for a large no. That is bad service what we went through. At 7:30 we were seated and the waitress was amazing, food was fine. She saved the day. We had drinks and dessert and our personal bill was over 100. We ended up with 8 people, but because of this experience, we can find another Italian restaurant .

Had dinner on April 9, son's birthday. Andrew was our waiter, awesome service, very well mannered, helpful with menu. Would definitely go again. Best waiter ever!

I did not eat in the restaurant this is based off a catering experience the meal consisted of several trays of plain thin spaghetti (not quite angel hair) with no sauce or anything! On top there was boiled/baked chicken breast with some capers here and there. The ratio of chicken:pasta was way off (it was labeled Picc) The salad was ok but there were only a few containers of extremely garlicky ceaser dressing which ran out long before the salad did.

We've eaten here for years and after our last visit this past weekend, I'm changing my previous ratings to a lower grade. We went in at 6:30 Sunday evening, were greeted promptly by our server, and got our entrees pretty quickly. He disappeared, leaving us without drink refills and when we thought he was coming back to check on us, instead he started his closing duties and cleaning the floors of his empty tables. 2 other servers in our area were also cleaning the floors of their tables. We were not the only people eating, it was close to 8:00 and they weren't closing until 9. I thought this was rude and inconsiderate while people were still dining. Even if it had been 9:00, if people are still eating, let them enjoy their meal without the noise and commotion. When our server finally did check on us, we had finished our meals and were ready to get out. We felt he was ready for us to leave as well. This was not my idea of a pleasant night in a full-service restaurant that's supposed to be part of the hospitality industry. We'll stick with Alodia's for fine Italian meals with a great atmosphere.
