a week agoThis restaurant was exceptional on all levels. My wife and I found it by accident or providence, not sure which and were very happily impressed and had a really exceptional dinner with excellent service in a comfortable, relaxed setting. perfect evening! i do need to add that i spent 20 years in the restaurant business as a chef, manager and owner. We've also eaten amazing dinners around the globe from Japan to France and Italy to South Africa and our many trips to Mexico. We're going back tonight to see if it was a fluke, but i don't think so. We recommended it to couple who went last night and said they loved it too!
