Our favorite “special occasion” restaurant. The branzino for two is perhaps the most succulent and tender fish I’ve ever had, and the tableside plating by their skilled staff makes it feel very special. Also recommend the grilled octopus appetizer; delicious!

The ice cream sundae was missing strawberries and cherries, which was not advertised as such on the menu. I brought this to the attention of the server and he said the restaurant was out of those ingredients, but he didn’t made any attempt to rectify that situation.
