    Tonight was first for me. I finally tried the Branzino fish for dinner. I was NOT disappointed! Chef Chris cooked it so perfectly and that's not something many restaurants do! My fish was moist and bursting with flavors of lemon and capers with a little bit of salt and pepper. It was incredible! I got a whole fish for a great price and Chef Chris even made sure to accommodate the low sodium needs of one of the other members of my party! I brought two teenagers with me this evening to try the pasta and even they liked their food((they are teenagers so they are picky) . One of them had questions about the different wines and the costs and Chef graciously took his time to answer their questions. They are already begging me to take them back there for the pizza lunch!
