I enjoyed the NYE SPECIAL- a six course pairing. Each course was more delightful than the previous. My only concern was course 4 my leg of Duck. It was simply a drumstick (not a whole leg quarter as I expected) that was slightly overdone. I probably should have returned it to the kitchen for a replacement. My server was terrific. I would dine here again.

This restaurant delivers on all fronts. The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly and prompt in their service. Your water glass is always full. We went all in on Danbury -- tuna, chicken and salmon. All were delicious, beautifully spiced and multi-textured. The Shisheto peppers were a wonderful starter with a degree of hot spice not often found in this dish, which was a great addition. The wine list is terrific, the piscos sublime and if you're looking for something different, try the Bonarda Blend red wine.

Really great food. However, even though we arrived on time for our reservation, we had to wait close to 15 minutes to be seated. With a group of six celebrating someone’s birthday this was not ideal.
