    Excellent food and service. Low noise level. A joy to be in a restaurant where we can actually have a conversation. We shared the tuna crudo, mussel toast, halved red snapper, snap peas and date cake. All delicious. Our waiter was perfect, very knowledgeable about the food, not hovering or rushing us and stopping by to check on us just enough.

    The braised short ribs melted in your mouth. The flavors of the caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese IN the dish was AMAZING! For dessert we shared the citrus olive oil cake with strawberry gelato, which was very refreshing.
