Another yummy dinner at wildfin! Our server, Lake was very friendly and had a few recommendations for me because they were unfortunately OUT of the Parmesan crusted sole last night I wound up having the trout both the seafood fettuccine and the shepherds pie are delicious and the beer ( house Hefeweizen ) was even good as well. Last night was just another example of why Wildfin is one of our favorites

My experience was lovely! Thank you for asking, over and over. Pimienta is a favorite spot that makes me feel fortunate to live in the neighborhood. On this occasion my companion and I each had a linguini special with prawns, beef and mushrooms. It was delicious and a perfect comfort meal on a rainy November evening. We began with the Pimienta salad and the soup de jour, both of which were excellent. Drinks are a highlight at Pimienta as well. Come enjoy a romantic dinner with someone special. The ambiance is usually great for that and the drinks, food and service are always exceptional.
