We meet relatives there every year for a holiday dinner. Although the place is perfect in every way the food this year was not as well done as years past. The beet in my Warm Beet Salad was not cooked through, my snapper, while the salsa verde was delicious, was way over cooked, and the piece was so small I was still hungry! For the price of the prix fixe, I expect a delicious satisfying meal. We may look elsewhere for next years holiday dinner
