We had a fabulous experience and meal. Very comfortable setting. Good wine list and price point. Everything we ordered was good. We enjoyed the tuna appetizer and the Gnocchi in particular. However we also had the leek soup, mussels, crab cakes, octopus, and snapper sausage which were also delicious. We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes.
