    Highly recommended venue near the water with an outdoor area that is heated, but not fully enclosed. My spare rib ravioli was slightly less than expected, but I may have ordered the incorrect presentation. We’ll try again in a future CA visit.

    First time diner, fantastic experience only comment on the food was the penne pasta with shrimp a bit heavy on the pesto. Other than that we really enjoyed our experience.
