    We had a fantastic experience at our Valentine’s dinner. We enjoyed the sea bass and ravioli, both of which were delicious. The white chocolate tart was superb, and the service was exceptional. We also loved the cocktails and the perfectly paired wine with our meal. We can’t wait for our next dinner out and to try the new social hour!

    We had dinner for valentine's day and made an early reservation. We had a nice relaxing meal that was delicious. I had the enchiladas and the red Chile was nice with some spice. My husband had the chicken Florentine off the special valentine menu and he really enjoyed it. Overall We loved the food. Our server was Nobe...he was funny and did a great job. He even gave us some extra sopapillas to take home! I'm looking forward to going back and would like to sit in their outdoor area.
