We had the Valentines Day prix fixe six course dinner. It was awesome, and the options even worked for my vegetarian wife. The dishes are mostly traditional Mediterranean fare, but prepared with fresh high quality ingredients, and with subtle cooking skills. It’s hard to describe it beyond that. Service was excellent from the servers to the bussers.
