    Another lovely meal on the El Pinto patio. The hostess was great when I asked for a table near the front due to a family health issue. And our server, Grace, was friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the food / drink menus. The food was delicious with lots to take home. Definitely try El Pinto if a local or visitor.

    M'Tucci has long been a highly dependable place to have a nice meal. The menu is excellent showing a wide variety of foods in every category. Go Monday evening for an amazing value with a charcuterie board of your own design for five bucks. Their salads are the best in town and unlike any others. My guest had a beautiful dish of shrimp, scallops, and risotto, while I enjoyed a simple pasta dish. Their bread and their desserts are quite good and made in house. The handicap parking is ample and close to the door.
