    I was in the area and I grab a nice lunch with my friend. Diego was really nice host. The food and the breeze from the bay is perfect a lunch meal.

    The staff were great but a little busy and seemed not enough staff for the night. Food was a little pricey for the taste. I ordered a pasta cheese wheel dish and barely saw any of the cheese wheel preparation . When it arrived at the table ur was not cooked al dente and was barely warm.
