Great views, wonderful service and food was outstanding. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they had confetti on table and a signed bday card for him! Brought him out a slice of the most amazing cake with a candle. Made the whole experience really great.

As always, San Fermo exceeded expectations. From the ambience to the service to the food, our dinner last night was perfect. Our server also suggested two of their new dishes, the charred onion appetizer and the barley risotto and both were fabulous! Thank you San Fermo for yet another delicious evening! We’ll be back soon!

The rice cakes are a staple and delicious as always, the Muscovy duck was new as was the winter root vegetables, which were both excellent. Don't sleep on the sauces they are each nestled in, it takes these 2 dishes to the next level.
