    The food was outstanding. Our table for 2 was near a very large party. Our waiter was the server for the large party and could not give us the usual attention required. An appetizer arrived with an entree. Our drinks were delivered on the same tray as several for the large party after a considerable wait. They need to separate servers for individual tables from parties of 20.

    Our first time to visit this place and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the professionalism of the wait-staff. The home-made bread was served pipping hot, the first and second course came too close together but each was well prepared and delicious. My Barcardi and Coke was served as requested with two limes ... but it sure was weak. • However, we will certainly return and try out the other menu items,.... I'll just pass on the Cuba Libre.

    Great food, friendly and efficient service. Not far off freeway, so easy to find and park. Restaurant is big and so a little on the noisy side, but we could still hear each other seated in a booth by the e windows. Loved the grilled artichoke, clam chowder and beet salad. Our husbands loved the short ribs. Our other companion enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli and I quite enjoyed the Maui Maui with risotto special. We brought our bottle and were charged a reasonable $20 corkage. Very pleasant experience and we will be back next time!!
