    Four of us ate outside, on the small, open patio. The service was excellent, and our dinners were delicious.

    The 2 times I have ordered the seafood entree (red snapper; branzino) at Cafe Figuro has been well worth it! Probably, as good as one can get, without going to a fish restaurant.

    We always enjoy our meals at Figaro, very comfortable and the staff is very accommodating. Although it was very busy when we were there, we weren’t rushed and had a great dinner.
