We were here for their first anniversary dinner with a prix fixe menu where we chose a shrimp scampi appetizer, beef filet, halibut, and chocolate budino desert. It was all excellent and very reasonably priced. I also had lunch there and had beef short ribs which were great. The service is wonderful, helpful, friendly, efficient without hurrying you. This is my new favorite restaurant! Try it!
