Little Mountain Reviews
No notes. Exceptional. Impeccable. Remarkable.
We had the loveliest dinner at Little Mountain, probably the best meal of 2026. The service was top notch, and the staff helped us celebrate our anniversary by making us feel very special. The food was wonderful, all made with local ingredients and the perfect blend of flavors (trout, chicken and shell beans were some of our favorites). Lastly, we loved our wine and really enjoyed ending with the amaro flight.
Beautiful restaurant. Deserves several Michelin stars!! Extremely polished service and fantastic food. Don’t miss the cafe de olla cheesecake
