    Overall this place is magnificent but they didn’t give us a al’acard menu. They offered 3 course choices menu. And although I specified our anniversary I supposed they wiould give us a nice table. We sat in the last row seating. I was a little disappointed.

So outstanding… Seems like there has been a little change in who’s tending the bar and some fresh new waiters… all excellent … even a tad warmer. A such a great restaurant
