Delicious food as always. I noticed a caveat on the bill. It includes a 4% fee for the kitchen staff. That's ok, except I would think they would be paid a proper wage. That said, they only get 75% of that fee. The restaurant keeps the balance for their administrative fee to implement the 4% fee.

After booking on Open Table, from the moment I called and spoke with Riley to move our reservation up an hour, to the our wonderful experience having Bernardo wait on us, everything and everyone was done with exemplary service. They even put a spicy sauce on the side knowing my food preferences without having to ask! A definite stop before the theater for us in the future!
