The Valentine Dinner was remarkable. It was a four course meal and we had the tomato bisque soup with balsamic drizzle, which sounds wearied but it added a complementing flavor; bacon wrap shrimp, which has a great smoky flavor and the shrimp was cooked perfectly; the Halibut dinner which had a sauce that complemented the halibut and potatoes and the halibut was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth; and for desert we has a light a fluffy tiramisu, which was also delicious. In addition the service was excellent and attentive.

We had a great time as usual and the service was outstanding.

Food was excellent! Please convey to the chef who prepared our Salmon - it was done to perfection and the flavors, "oh so delicious". This was our second time for waitress Deeanna L. She helped make our Valentine's Day a delight. We will continue to ask for her. My financee and I were disappointed to see the "Pickled Beet salad" removed from the menu. We had the salad once before and it was such a surprise. Who would ever think a beet salad would be so flavorful and so good, but it certainly was. And it has a surprise awesome crunchiness to it. That said, we were so much looking forward to having again. A big disappointment when not seeing on the menu and hearing, "yes it had been taken off". If the salad is not popular, we would wager it is due to people thinking like we first did, "how good could a pickled beet salad be". We hope you put it back on the menu and advertise it!

Reserved a table for two for an early Valentine’s Day dinner. We were about 5 minutes late, but the staff was very kind and accommodating. Service, food, and drinks were excellent! We started with a bottle of rosé and the spiced pear martini. We did the Mediterranean platter for appetizers—the salad, smoked salmon and pita slices were my favorites. We shared a ribeye, which the kitchen kindly split evenly for us, and the wild mushroom risotto… both were excellent! The portions are actually very decent for all the food we ordered, and the prices are pretty reasonable. The atmosphere was mostly nice. There were some people talking a bit too loud for our tastes, but it wasn’t totally overbearing. Overall, we had a nice time and we’re looking forward to returning to try some of the other dishes!

Tesoro is a great spot, but I’d never classify them as “fine” anything. Typical Mexican food plating and flavors, nothing stands out on the food nor cocktail menu. However, great food and a fair price. 4.1/5
