We had lunch; one had the Manchengo (sp?) salad and I had the 'Chop Chop Salad,' both were excellent. It has been a few years since I had the 'Chop Chop' and it was great; we look forward to returning soon. Our Server (who also was tending bar) was very good; attentive, informative and professional.

Food was very good as was the service. I love the manchego salad but I requested salmon to have it as an entree. It was perfect! My only suggestion is for the outdoor area’s open air to be repaired as there are a few leaks. It had started to rain & the temperature was pleasant. Fortunately we were just waiting for our check so we just moved to another area.

I like the set-up of the restaurant. Some of the dishes (chicken parm) were very good, others (rigatoni - had almost no prosciutto) and parmesan risotto (over cooked to a mushy texture) were a below expectations. Previous meals have been better.

Back to some old favorites tonight - Bang-bang shrimp and Salmon Oscar. As a teaser, I first ordered "double-barreled shrimp" which I then translated to "bang bang". A small dish piled with many small, succulent, wonderfully spiced shrimp ready to pop in your mouth. So light and tangy I demolished the entire plate. The salmon comes over angel-hair pasta with a sauce filled with small lumps of crab. Moist and tender, bite-sized pieces are easily pulled from the serving, accompanied by one or two crab lumps and some pasta. A true gourmet's masterpiece. Had wine with dinner but a glass of Port with dessert. Wonderful night.
