Reviews for Cynthia's Ristorante in Paducah, KY

Food is good if a bit on the pricey side with smallish portions. We had the scallops. Ambience is definitely there. Service was... so-so - a bit stiff as if the waiter was trying too hard. (Please don?t bring the check before we?re done). The place looksreally nice. Read more

Our experience at Cynthia's is always top tier. The service is top knotch, food is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is so... comfortable. We will continue to go back until they kick us out! ???? Read more

We arrived with our reservations and was seated promptly. It took a little time for us to receive our salads, like we literally... were able to drink a bottle of wine before we received the salads. The oysters were okay, not bad, not good....edible. Thesalads were good and the vinaigrette was delicious but again, short of spectacular. The wait staff is apparently overworkedbecause although our waiter was personable, service was lacking. Now, for our meals there were 6 of us with 5 different entreesordered. The highest anyone rated their food was a 7 out of 10. They were all hit and miss with some items being good and somebeing okay on the plate. Please do not come if you are very hungry and wanting a big meal as their meals are lacking in size butnot price. At the end of the night we ordered one of each dessert. The desserts were good although the sugar on the creme bruleewas burnt. The waiter offered to get another and I declined as my family had already ate half. It is hard for me to say anythingnegative about a local place being a local gal but having traveled the world and eating some amazing food, especially in Italy,I would be doing an injustice to give a good rating. If you want good ambiance and decent food this would be a good place to go.For the cost of our meals and the amount of food we ordered I expected better service so my tip reflected this. I would not gohere again personally except to get a dessert and a glass of wine. Read more

The food was delicious and authentic, you couldn't have asked for a better waiter- he was so professional & on top of... everything. The atmosphere was very upscale & classy. Read more

On the rare occasion, I was in my hometown for my birthday and was looking for fine dining to celebrate with family. The place... was able to accommodate our reservation, even added seats when needed. The decor was a bit kitschy and all over the place (maybeit was due to the scattered Christmas decor) but the overall vibe was nice. I started with the baked oysters and a bottle ofMoet champagne. The oysters were delicious and literally bursting with flavor - I ordered a second round just to share with afew guests! However, at the price of the bottle, I didn?t appreciate that there was no effort to keep it chilled. It took awhile to receive our orders, a little over an hour and a half - and the server didn?t check on us much, but when he did, he wasvery pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. When the food did arrive, it was beautifully presented and honestly, DELICIOUS. Ihad a pasta dish, accompanied with a stuffed chicken as the entree. I raved about it for days after. The salad was fresh andalthough small in size, it was big in flavor! Some guest also praised the Margherita flatbread as well. Overall, a pleasantexperience but a bit overpriced - especially if you have more than one course. However, the food did not disappoint and lived upto its good reviews. Read more

Faultless. Awesome ambience, everyone nicely dressed (no flip flops or tshirts here!) and great service from Jordan, a really... interesting guy. Food was exceptional. We had the specials: crab-stuffed sea bass and veal marsala. Desserts also excellent! Read more

This place was fantastic. Attention to detail was superb. Food was the best. The bread melted in your mouth yet had a wonderful... crunchy crust. Service was beyond great. The place is small and intimate so make reservations. Great place for a romanticdinner. Read more
