Server was excellent making sure we got out in time for our show. The seafood ravioli special was fantastic along with the seafood salad and croquettes. Dessert finished things splendidly with the apple tart that had a perfect crust and gelato with waffle cone bowl. We go out often, and a perfect meal end to end is rare.
