Good food, excellent service. I had a mango cocktail which was better than I expected. The egg rolls were quite good. My date and I split a wide noodle dish with shrimp that I liked a lot. Dessert was good. Our server was very nice.

We enjoyed the tasting menu. Portions are reasonable. The preparation is inventive and delicious. This was our third visit and we’ve never been disappointed. I follow a gluten-free diet and the staff always graciously helps with determining my options while the rest of my family can enjoy the wonderful pasta and bread available.
