    This was not our first time at The Sardine Factory, but it was perhaps our best experience. The craft cocktails before dinner were excellent, and the wine list was impressive. The calamari, sardines, and crab cakes were a great way to start the meal. The abalone bisque was epic as always. For a main, we had a pasta, the sole, and the abalone- all of which were delicious. The ginger peach intermezzo served in an ice swan was both beautiful and delicious.  The ice cream bonbons flowing with dry ice was a creative presentation for a delicious dessert. The only thing better than the food was this service. We will definitely be back.
