    Very much enjoyed our dinner experience. Appetizers, meatballs and caprese with buffalo mozzarella, were nicely executed and delicious. The bread basket at the table was fresh, warm and excellent. The entrees were fantastic. Nicely presented, large portions and delicious. As good as any comparable or even more expensive restaurant. Loved my chicken parm. My wife’s salmon was perfectly cooked with 3 large grilled shrimp with a nice wood grill flavor, lots of spinach and roasted potatoes. Had a smaller piece of chocolate cake for my birthday dessert and it was moist and rich. Also had key lime pie. My son and I agreed that only Joe’s Stone Crab has better. Service was great and attentive, without being pushy. Atmosphere was comfortable and nice.

    Great food and service. We opted to sit outside as the noise level inside would have made conversation difficult.

    I enjoyed lunch with my wife and her sister. The focaccia with ricotta is delicious. My sister in law had the burrata salad which I had had before and recommended to her. It is a very nice serving. Just right, not very large. My wife had the kale and chicken salad which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had The Plaza salad. It had a generous serving of very fresh feta cheese. Chloe took fabulous care of us making sure our water glasses were always full and paid close attention to many little details. The only thing I wish is for the music volume to be a little bit lower. I look forward to going back.
