    My wife and I enjoyed the seafood paella. The seasonings, cooking and presentation were excellent. Our server made it a wonderful meal for us.

    Such a shame this restaurant used to be one of my favorites however this recent visit was not pleasant. I did enjoy the mariscos soup as usual but the duck entree I ordered was not very good. The mashed potatoes were served hot but had too much of a lumpy texture and the portion amount of duck served was minimal. My other diners ordered the tuna and trout entrees but complained their dinners arrived cold to the touch. I did miss all the eclectic paintings and furnishings of the older version of this restaurant. Now white spackled walls leave a cold not inviting ambiance to the dining experience. For me on this occasion there are alot better restaurants in the city to spend hard earned entertainment dollars on.
