  • Hostess and servers were pleasant. The explanation of the menu items were detailed and accurate. My branzino was served over a white bean sauce which I had never had before and was very tasty. My companions grilled chicken was very good. It came with two different sauces. One was a romesco and the other honey. We shared an order of fondant potatoes. The only disappointing item was the desert. It was really good except for the hard cookie. Hard to break with spoon. Over all the experience was very good.
