    It was very quiet and empty when we arrived … a bit concerning. The staff was amazing. Only surpassed by the quality of the food. 3 in our group and each dish was yummy. The outside tables filled up by the time we left. Javier was our waiter and made our experience fantastic. Can’t wait to go again!

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!
