    Some items were exceptional; ceviche, bluefin tuna appetizer, roasted yams, ribs, sea bass, pasta with seafood. The misses; focaccia bread for $11!, cioppino was too salty, pork chop sauce was so sweet the flavor of the high quality pork was disguised. Drinks were all very good. Will definitely be back for the scallops and fried sea bream.

    One of the best steak dinners I have ever had. The grass fed Australian ribeye was of the best quality. And it was cooked perfectly. Lightly charred with a warm pink center. The mushroom medley was exceptional. And the cocktails were unique. Colorful and delicious. At $250 for two people, it was not an everyday meal. But well worth the splurge.
