    I took my mom here for the first time, and Miguel provided outstanding service. On top of that, the meal we had was absolutely delicious!

    The food - halibut special- was not that special. The waiter was surely Italian or wherever he was from and the service was just ok. Not going back anytime soon.

    Waiter dumped water on my wife on her birthday. It was a young kid and mistakes happen.. while the kid was very sorry, the management didn't do anything other than get her a new chair. The lack of caring was shocking while my wife was embarrassed to have a whole tray of water dumped on her while we were out doors.

    I am a Creature of Habit and always come back for the Chicken Marsala but last night I tried a bite of the Alaskan Halibut and it was out of this World. As always the service is Golden 5 Star.

    Sat at the bar, and the bartender Anthony was very good. We live locally and have come here often over the past 9 years. Always recommend this place, because it is consistently very good. Started with their Carpaccio, highly recommend, it's fresh, it's really good with arugula and fresh whole parmesan. I love their veal la limon, with capers. Light and rich! Their chicken masala is probably one of the best you'll find...Their wine menu is top notch, that includes their own label of Sangiovese and we recommend that, and also love the Daou Cab by the glass. Their sorbet is fresh homemade. Bellissima!
