    Was a beautiful evening for al fresco dining so we took the available reservation at Forbici. I ordered the grouper piccata and didn’t know what to expect since this isn’t a seafood restaurant. It was perfect, and the accompanying puréed cauliflower and wilted spinach suited my restrictive diet. Hubby went Italian and minestrone soup and eggplant lasagna were also terrific. I hate paying for bread but the small bread basket was full and the pesto a treat. Luis took good care of us.

    The service was exceptional! The food was incredible, too. The portion sizes are a welcome change from what you typically find at most restaurants. The meatballs, calamari, grouper, and pasta were all outstanding choices. Our server's wine selection paired perfectly with our meal. I also want to highlight the service; he was incredibly kind, attentive, and communicative. The live music added a lovely touch, offering soft yet engaging entertainment. Overall, this is definitely a place to visit if you're seeking great food and a lot of fun!
