    I absolutely love the shrimp and crab cake appetizer. Always get it and it never disappoints. I would also recommend the Halibut. It is usually a special but delicious. I have introduced many friends to the restaurant and they also agree the food is outstanding, Staff is also friendly and very efficient.

    Food and service was exceptional. My only complaint was the price of my drink at the bar. $25 for a single pour of Reposado Tequila seems excessive and the pour was not very generous.

    Went on a cold Thursday night. Restaurant was not crowded. Usually very good food, but tonight was exceptional. Had tuna appetizer and pork chop, while my wife had two appetizers, the fig salad and the lasagna bolognese. Which I will be finishing for lunch today. Bravo, Testarossa!
