What a great dinning experience. From our waiter, José, to the crafted cocktail and authentic appetizer, entrees and desert there really was no room for improvement. The ample portions left us with a wonderful snack for later. I loved that Jose gave us the history of the proprietor, Mima, and how she came to create this wonderful restaurant. The mural of her really sets the tone and the music, china, fixtures and created the perfect setting for this culinary experience.
