    Rey’s did not disappoint again tonight. We’ve been several times, and we keep returning because the food and service is exceptional. I had the 8 oz filet, and my husband had the 16 oz ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese is always our favorite side. Lots of lobster tonight. I ordered the Black Beauty for a cocktail (first time), and it was delicious.

    We enjoyed an incredible valentine's day omakase menu. The flavors of each dish were well balanced with contrasting textures. I'm not a big fan of sorbet, but the Kiwi sorbet that we had last night was insanely good. Unfortunately the dishes were served too fast last night. We had all 5 courses and drinks in just under 1 hour. That wasn't our experience in the past when we dined here, so we don't expect it's a usual occurrence. We can't wait to return to M Test Kitchen for our next date night.

    Ordered a mixed drink - Endless Summer- spiced and coconut rum, montenegro, guava and lime, delicious. Their Focaccia served with Ricotta with honey,delicious. We ordered the rigatoni CAB colognes. They used radiatore pasta instead, shape of pasta makes no difference. We did not care for the sauce, too much of the sauce and mixed all together. Edible, but expected more. Came with ricotta. It was Valentines Day. They gave me with the bill a lip mask, will have to try, and a pair of heart shaped rose colored glasses. God knows I need to look at the world now through rose colored glasses. All and all a nice visit.
