Just OK. Biggest disappointment was that I informed them that it was a special occasion - my daughters 21st Birthday - and no mention was made or any special treatment. The Almejas (clams in broth) was very good - kid of a mini-cioppino - as was the halibut. The pappas bravas were flavorless - they took them off the bill without our asking - but no apology or empathy.

We had an excellent dinner on Christmas Eve with outstanding service. The prices for for food were quite reasonable, with several entree selections available in the 20s. Bottles of wine were a bit expensive but overall great value and a wonderful evening!
