Prime rib was beautifully presented and was tender and tasty. The vegetables were really well seasoned. I have never had broccolini that good. Gnocchi was the best I've ever had, its sauce was incredible. Great service everywhere starting from the valets and hostesses to finally the wait staff. Sunset comes too early this time of year to see it but we sat overlooking the ocean. They even brought out a surprise dessert for our birthday celebration. Can't wait for our next meal here.
