    Had a great meal and food and drinks were excellent-the hummus with beets was fantastic. Great ambience too, perfect for a quiet dinner and or date night. We would have liked to have had actual butter on a plate with our bread instead of the small “diner” tubs it came with. Because the restaurant was so nice and effort was made to make sure our experience was great, this seemed like a needle scratch. Small complaint I know but just an observation. We’ll be back for sure.

    Dinner was fabulous. Loved the pistachio grouper on the specials. My husband had the goat cheese and beets ravioli (rosso), which also was great. Really, everything from the warm bread, to the side salad and bread pudding was exceptional on this visit. Great attentive service and a good drink from the bar. We’ll be back! Keep the grouper around from time to time!

    We always have a great time. Lunch was superb. We had the red snapper special and it did not disappoint. The fish was delicious, fresh and with the artichoke hearts and tomatoes and spinach, it was fit for a queen. Thank you for another wonderful meal.
