    This was a wonderful surprise and is why we like OpenTable. We were searching for a last-minute place to eat and went to OpenTable right away. It is always a great way to try a new restaurant without feeling like you are throwing darts at a board. Offcina did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. We were here the day after Christmas, so it was a light night for them, but the staff was attentive and provided the service you would expect at any top-notch restaurant. The Michelin rating is well deserved. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
