Great dinner again. They were running a little behind on a busy Tuesday but gave us a glass which gladly bided our time, until our table was ready. Foie gras torching special was delish, as were Manila clams and Castelfranco. For mains we had the trofie pasta, rib eye with tomato butter (omg), white sweet potatoes (another omg) and cauliflower. Everything was superb. Service by Nicky and rest of team was exemplary. 2012 vigna flavia was perfect choice from superSomm Pascaline, to compliment meal. Couldn’t ask for better.
