   Actually this restaurant was disappointing. Calamari was tough, maybe it hung out under a heat lamp? Which would be shameful. Veal was thick, it needed to be pounded thin. Boring sauce. Simple recipes that need attention. Our entrees took a long time after the appetizer. The staff was nice and water refills plenty. This could easily be a nicer restaurant with some quality control produce a a better meal.

   We were very excited to try this restaurant as we have driven by it so many times and it looked nice. We live in the desert and eat out about 3-4 times a week. Our expectations are simply good food and good service. This restaurant was a complete disappointment. The service was terrible. We will never go back.

    We dine here every year and love it! The people, the ambience, the food, the service. What a jewel on El Paseo!
