There were three people celebrating our birthday 's We all ordered the special Snapper and Gazpacho.
You seldom see Snapper on menu .
It was outstanding, hope will be on the menu often
We all enjoyed Gazpacho
Deserts are always good

My husband and I have gone several times and have had excellent meals and service.

Special ambiente as it is located in a parking garage. We were not at all disappointed though as the food was exceptionally good. Calamar cooked to perfection, tender new York striploin with a mouthwatering sauce, grilled rock fish on a bed of young spinach. Come here for exceptionally good food!

They changed the Monday to Friday three course lunch menu. The $17.00 lunch main course is mainly three different kinds of pasta and two burger sliders. The food is good but the cashier was going to charge us for the refill of my husband's coke and my unsweetened tea. I checked the bill after she charged the credit card. I pointed out, told her that it never happened before and she returned the money in cash for the coke and iced tea .
