    Visited last night. Shared Carpaccio, and the Pulpo salad both were good. For our Entrees we had Branzino and Pork Oso Bucco both were excellent. Music was really good and did not stop us from being able to have a nice conversation. The Soufflé was outstanding to end our excellent meal. This romantic well staffed restaurant will be one of our regular spots.

    I was impressed by their beautiful decor and their stunning bar. The staff were very upbeat, friendly and helpful! I was again impressed by the service. I ordered a mojito mocktail and the bartender decided to make it a pomegranate mojito and it was soooo good. I was continually impressed. I also love when a restaurant leaves the water on the table. That's always a nice touch. I also noticed they have various types of water, including sparking and ph alkaline. For food my friend and I shared the Wedge salad and the pickled onions stole the show. The salad was packed with flavor and so delicious. We also got the tomato basil flatbread and it did not disappoint. The cheese was gooey, the tomatoes bursted with flavor...I'm craving it just thinking about it. The last stand out item were the fries! They had the perfect amount of crispy to crunchy ratio! I would say the best fries I've had in a long, long time! I will be back - if you're ever thinking about opening another location, I suggest San Clemente or Dana Point (closer to me)!
