Wonderful experience. Loved every thing that we tried on the menu. Service was excellent despite it being a busy weekend dinner time. The ambience is just wow. We drove all the way from Orange County and it was totally worth it. Would love to go back.

Great service, food was very good. A bit pricey, with one of those annoying 3% "benefits" surcharges. Our waiter did confirm the restaurant provides health coverage. But no other benefits. Lovely semi-outdoor patio. Great place when you want atmosphere, service and the ability to socialize with your companions.

Celebrated our 7 year anniversary and the hostess seated us right by the olive tree. It was a magical night with even a candle on top of our banana tiramisu bread pudding - wow. Thank you for being part of our special day :)
