Our server did not tell us the specials although he did for other customers. Our server was told twice we were celebrating my birthday (including as we were ordering dessert). My dessert came out w/no candle in it. Another customer was celebrating her bday as well & she got the candle & ppl singing happy birthday to her. We went to this restaurant to celebrate my bday when there was NO celebrating. Restaurant was overpriced for mediocre food. We have no intention of returning to this restaurant.

According to the menu shown on restaurant.com, Armando's Grill menu shows no meal higher than $12.00. This turns out to be untrue. There are no meals under $17.00. The food quality was OK. I could get the same or better quality food at "Greco's" about 1 block west on Westwood Ave at around half the price and their air condition is probably working. Probably not going there again.

I thought I would get banged in the head when food was being carted out from kitchen to dining room.I find they are a bit over priced especially on the specials. They beet salad special wasn't anything to rave about ande was about $15.00( not a value)Service was very nice and the rest of the meal was good.

The food and service at Armando's is very good, but something should be done about the cold air that rushes into the restaurant when the door is opened and the weather is cold. Apparently the town do not allow anything to be erected outside, but a simple u shaped rod could be put up with heavy curtains on it in the winter months. This could be placed on the inside and taken down when the weather gets warmer. If you are seated right by the door it is even worse. I feel that I will only go there when the weather is warmer from now on as the restaurant is small, but the solution could be easily fixed.
