Really wonderful place and meal for a post Valentine's celebration.We tried several small plates; crab beignets, deviled eggs, the mezzo platter and a beet & kale salad. Each was very well prepared. Our final dish was the dungeness crab pasta. It had a nice flavor but it didn't have much crab in it. Also we each had a Jack Frost cocktail, with and without alcohol and both were delicious.. We'll definitely go back again!
