Food and service were excellent. Definitely pricey with small portions. But I think it was worth the cost.

It was great until today when open table said I was reported as a no show. There were only two tables, one for two and our party of four. So how did they misunderstand that we were there? Also I detest hot spice. It was unexpectedly in the shrimp appetizer and in the rigatoni. Happily I had the grouper with creamed spinach and was not affected like my dining companions were. Alert if an ingredient is Texas Pete. Go. It is a great find.
