    This was my first time in the tavern portion of this restaurant. My friends go there frequently, and I decided to tag along, and it was wonderful! The food was delicious and so beautifully prepared… We decided to share some appetizers of fig and arugula, pizza, mojo de ajo shrimp, and dates stuffed with goat cheese. They were all superb. We also each got a small salad. I had the fried goat cheese, which was amazing. I really enjoyed the coziness and warm feel of this place and will definitely be back!
