    Glad to see them back and better than ever! This is my new favorite restaurant. The food was fantastic. We both had the butternut squash soup, amazing. My husband had the salmon and I had the short ribs. Everything cooked perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about the drink menu. So many delicious choices. They make the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. My husband had a mezcal drink that was to die for. Run don’t walk to a great dining experience

    The food quality has really gone downhill over the years. Ordered the macademia nut chicken with asparagus. Chicken was overdone and rubbery, and asparagus looked anemic and limp.The manager addressed the asparagus without having to make a request, which was the highlight of our dining experience. Our waitress was polite and attentive, but forgetful of requests. It's a shame because this restaurant holds a significant place for my wife and I; it's where I proposed. We enjoyed the food and ambiance in the past, but now it's crowded, too brightly lit, and less intimate for any chance of a romantic dinner. In the over 11 years since we've been married, this is only the fifth time we've eaten here, and I do not know that we'll ever come back given the superior quality of food that's available in the area.
