The outdoor setting was beautiful. It was sunny & warm & we were seated at a table under a large parasol. The server was attentive & took extra care to accommodate my friend’s need for avoiding certain ingredients. In fact someone from the kitchen (?) came out for additional details & made a beautifully modified tuna salad. The fried calamari dish was tasty but slightly overcooked. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked &juicy on the salad; it was generous & delicious. The prices including wine were all reasonable. It is perfect for a date or a family gathering.

Good food and nice atmosphere in the lovely courtyard. However, we would have been happier not to have the music played during dinner. I have hearing issues and the background music detracted from my enjoyment of the evening.
