I'm a regular to this house of yummy foods, and I brought a friend here to see her reaction. With every bite she was committed to coming back. We ordered only 3 dishes (Clams & Mussels, Chilean Sea Bass, Rack of Lamb) and each dish's freshness delighted her into speechlessness. My friend was impressed with the generous food portions, and even the generous pour of wine by the glass. JC & Marcella (owners), you just won over a new convert! My friend will be back bringing you new business.

We came on a slow night, and had fantastic service! It was very quiet, but we still could not hear the other couple of tables. You could absolutely tell that everything is homemade. The noodles were thick and fresh and Al dente. The lobster bisque was not too heavy. The lobster and scallops were extremely fresh. The sea bass was phenomenal! So tender. The mash potatoes were average, but the presentation, fish, and spinach were incredible. So impressed!

We came here on a rainy February Saturday night. There was literally no parking for blocks. The covered and climate controlled outside seating was cozy and intimate. The server and hostess Marcela was super friendly and graceful. The appetizers and entrees were well prepared and savory. My wife loved the bouillabaisse and I devoured my lomo saltado. My 14 year old son's burger was not that good unfortunately. I told him to expand his horizons and stop ordering burgers at fine restaurants. Overall a great experience!

It's been far too long since me and the wife have had dinner here. Certainly a place where you call to make sure they have seats. More than once we have come in only to be turned away because they didn't have any seats left . So call and make reservations. We started off with an appetizer of escargot and wonderful escargot in dipping sauce. I also had a glass of house Merlot. The house special was squid in pasta with seafood. Oh this is very yummy. I got the seafood bouillabaisse. For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. This is a must come to a restaurant just come enjoy the music, the food and the company. Perfect.
