    What a great neighborhood gem! Don't let it being in the AC hotel fool you because it is really good. I was looking for something healthy and light and this hit the spot. I loved the branzino, the vegetable chips were perfect, the pita bread was on point, drinks were excellent, and the sundae for dessert was great. I can't wait to go back!
