We went for the Thursday night special (Steak, two sides, dessert and a glass of wine) and were delighted with everything! The Live entertainment was terrific with the talented bartender singing Broadway and other classics impeccably while mixing all this martinis. A special evening for sure!

Ours was an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Delicious bread, olive oil and fresh olives to start — all excellent. Two savory tapas dishes after that, followed by very well prepared salmon entrees. All at a great price for the Wednesday night prix fixe special. Compliments to the chef, to our excellent server Billy and to Cafe Azrafan for hiring them both!
