    Had an early dinner with our teens and friends with an almost 1 year old. We had shared both salads and the empanada for appetizer. The pork chop dish was delicious and most ordered at our table, followed by the double burger. We enjoyed the outdoor patio seating with heaters!

    This is such a wonderful restaurant. The servers are  so gracious and the food is excellent. My partner had the fish.((sea bass) and it was perfectly cooked and had a cool rice called) forbidden rice). I got the steak and potatoes on the bone. What they do is take the prime spec rib bone which is about 6” x 2”. They leave the fat in and cook iit with mashed potatoes on top A delicious wine and butter sauce. totally excellent. The greens had a bechamel sauce which was delicious as well This is a sophisticated meal Thesteak was perfectly cooked and tender The. Cabernet was great and desserts were great. This is a much go to restaurant if you are a foodie.

    Second time here, first time for brunch and it was very good. Beautiful patio out back in the sun but also plenty of shade and blinds, so not too much. Food was very good, we had the biscuits and gravy, pancakes with pears and chilaquiles. All were great and tasty. Drinks were good too, I had the mimosa with blood orange, which was delicious. Service was excellent and all around a really great experience.
