    Beyond Excellent. We had the best meal last night. The food was excellent (salmon ad shrimp pasta). However the service was incredible. Tatiana surprised my daughter and me with a celebration glass of champagne for my daughters acceptance into med school. This was total surprise. In addition, we were offered a free desert. This was way beyond our expectations. This simple gesture made us huge fans and we left her with a nice tip. This was customer service at its finest. As a small business owner, I truly appreciate this extra attention. Thank you Tatiana and Sixty Vines.
