    Food is great. Jay Bird sandwich was a joy. This will sound like it is easy to do well, but the brownie and ice cream as the best brownie I've ever had.

    Our excellent waiter Felipe made our dinner with old friends so special! Both chicken and swordfish taco platteres were to die for. The staff was happy to split the generous wedge salad between two of us. Highly recommend this special desert spot!
