    What a difference! After last week’s less than stellar experience, I returned last night to try again (every restaurant can have an off night). The entire visit was fantastic, the staff, the food, the setting was practically perfect.

    Great visit. Food, service, and ambiance were excellent. I had the onion soup, lobster linguine, chocolate mousse, and a glass of chardonnay. Next time I might try a steak for dinner.
