Had Dauphine’s Board and the grilled yellow fin tuna. My server, recommended three meats for the board and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, it was a bit more to eat than I expected, and I wondered whether I could eat a large plate after. I ordered the grilled yellow fin tuna, and at first glance, I thought it might be over cooked. Instead, it was perfectly cooked and tender. Returning to Lana, my wonderful server, I felt very, very well looked after.
