    We had a great Valentine's Day dinner at G Prime last night, our first visit there. Val, you have a wonderful, well trained, talented, and personable crew from front to back. And the dinner, drink, and dessert were all perfect. We'll be back often, with friends. as we've already started recommending they visit. Personally, I had 12 years owning and managing an upscale steak and seafood restaurant in a past life. I am very happy to be out of the business, but fortunate enough to be able to appreciate a great dining experiences like the one we had last night. You're clearly doing a great job at G Prime. I wish you and Giorgios all the success and joy this business can and will bring to you, and to your guests.
