    Nice atmosphere and ambiance, excellent service and quality gourmet food. The only issue we had was not being told by the waitress what the prices were for the various specials. While she did tell us some special prices, she did not tell us of the price for the lobster bisque. When we got the bill we were very unpleasantly surprised to find the price of one appetizer bowl of Lobster bisque was $60. That seemed extrodinant and out of line. Prices of everything on the menu seemed in line, but all the specials were way out of line pricewise. Perhaps the lobster bisque was in that special category but the waitress did not explain or tell us.

    Had a business dinner and it was an amazing experience. Carlos greeted us in the parking lot and welcomed us in as though we were long lost family members. The food was out of this world amazing. Carlos and Stephanie made us feel very special by knowing each of our names. I can’t wait to go back!

    Carlos is a character and quite clearly completely passionate about food. This is a higher end dining experience, with his own creations and takes on traditional items. The quality and flavors are amazing. The quantity or portion size of some of the appetizers is small which they openly tell you about. When you enter Carlos himself greets you and introduces himself and asks your name. The rest of the evening, he and his staff call you by name as they come to the table for service. It is quite a personal touch. I had Carlos’ Curry Bisque soup as a starter, it was about a cup size. It was amazing. So good in fact that I ordered another instead of a side salad with my main course. My dinner companion ordered the Artichoke, which ends up being 3 hearts, in a wine reductions with garlic and other herbs and have honestly never tasted anything like it. Delicious. My main course was Chilean Sea Bass with vegetables and spinach. This time the portions size was quite standard but again the preparation, flavors and the presentation were outstanding. If you are looking for a quick moderately priced big portioned bite to eat, this is not your place. If you want a culinary experience, this is definitely your place! Highly recommend.
