This is why I search for restaurants. The WaterBoy of Arden, but more fun and better ambiance. This place could easily be found in Paris, London, Sydney, or Miami, but they know that. I appreciate this place, love their food, and super glad they are here. Love it.

Decided to have dinner there on Christmas Eve. The two of us shared a Caesar salad which provided us each with several good bites of salad. We ordered the seafood risotto with scallops and prawns topped with pistachios. We also ordered the penne with a pesto cream sauce mixed with chicken and prawns. Bread was served as well. All of the food was tasty with a nice portion size. We ended the meal with chocolate cannolis- good chocolate flavor with a nice crispy shell. A complimentary glass of limoncello was a perfect end to this delicious meal.
