Food is exceptional. It’s our local go to whenever we have friends in town or we want a good quality and nice dinner out. Food is consistently good. Wine lost is extensive and fairly priced (1/2 priced bottles on Mondays). The bear salad with goat cheese is always a favorite. The pastas are perfectly prepared and the meat dishes are flavorful and satisfying. Good food, done well. After writing this review I’m thinking we’re going to have to dine again there this weekend!!

It’s obvious everyone works as a team. We talked to several people and all of them couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. Our server, Carlos, was outstanding. We had the “market” ceviche, which I don’t believe is on the menu all the time, and it was fantastic!
