Although they offere a 4 course menu, you dont need to eat that much. They are very accomodating to allow sharing of pasta dishes and appetizers. For dessert, they made sure each of us got a donut. Very comfortable restaurant.

Food was delicious and the setting was great. Disappointed that the server tried to sell us a $195 bottle of Caymus with the temerity to say we would get 8 glasses from one bottle.
