    We went to dinner to celebrate Valentines Day. Everything about the evening was perfect. The service provided by our waiter, Ricky, was just wonderful. He was attentive but not obtrusive and seemed to intuitively know when to check on us. The dinners my wife and I were magnificent. We shared the wedge salad and a cup of clam chowder- perhaps the best we have ever had. My wife had the linguini with clams and I had the crab ravioli in lobster sauce. Both were delicious. However, the jewel of the evening was the tiramisu- absolutely wonderful and the best we have had in a restaurant in a long time. Overall this was a magnificent meal and the perfect way to celebrate our 56th Valentines Day together. We will certainly be returning soon.
