He was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great night. Our table went all in on the menu and everything was fantastic. We enjoyed cocktails like mojitos, caipiroskas, and a Machu Picchu that absolutely hit the spot. For food, we loved dishes like the Vicenza and Madrid pasta, the Piamonte and Marseille entrées, plus the Hawaii and Salvador plates, and even the fettuccine with cheese sauce and broccoli was excellent. Every single plate came out beautifully and tasted great. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is impressive, and Brian truly elevated the experience with his service. We will definitely be back and it is largely because of him.

Just moved to the area and this was our first time here and everything from the start was…read moreimpeccable. First off, valet guy was super nice. We parked down the block and walked over since we were early for our reservation. I love where they seated us (in the corner away from the bar and other tables). I don't think I'd want to sit anywhere else when we go back! Waiter was immediately on it with explaining specials and checked in with us frequently/filled waters. He recommended a Pinot noir based on what I told him I liked and I really enjoyed it. I also showed him a picture from Yelp of what I wanted for dinner and he told me how it would be a little different. I chose that dish and I wasn't disappointed. We literally scraped our plates clean. This was our first night out alone I a long time and I'm so happy we had such a great ambiance and dinner. Husband was confused with his dish (he thought the pesto was going to have pieces of zucchini and squash) instead it was puréed into the sauce with pieces of spinach. He still enjoyed it and said it felt lighter and healthier (not too oily). He also wished for more bread. Thanks for taking care of us Coasties! We will be back especially for that steak (cooked perfectly)!

I had the linguine with vodka sauce and added blackened chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and I was unable to finish it. The serving size of pasta I also found to be small especially for quite a high price point. The price point of the entire menu I think is also much too high for what you are getting. The edamame gyoza were only 4 in one dish and we also shared the hummus board which was very small for an expensive price. I think they should definitely be re-evaluating how their menu is priced for their portions and the meals themselves.

My wife and I ate in the garden recently. My wife's food was excellent. I'm a vegetarian and…read moresurprisingly there is no vegetarian entree. I got some surperb tomato soup, and all I could order for dinner in this upscale beautiful please was tacos. So I got two vegetarian tacos which frankly were kind of tasteless. There were more than twice as much as in some other local mexican places and were not great. The drinks, service and atmosphere in the garden were perfect, but as a vegetarian, I just don't understand why such a fine restaurant can't figure out to have at least one tasty first class entree.

Also, I watched the woman next to me send her drink back too, so I was not alone.

We both ordered the chicken tortilla soup, and it was amazing -- incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. Definitely a standout! Service and food were both excellent. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the inside of the restaurant smelled a bit stale, and unfortunately the women's restroom had an unpleasant odor. Hoping that's something that can be addressed, because otherwise it was a really great lunch experience.

Your view is the parking lot and freeway. As others have mentioned: the prices are quite high for the amount of food you get. I had two apps (1 crab cake and 1 portobello mushroom), plus 1 cocktail, and 1 dessert: Total was $52.43 before tip. Not highway robbery, but also not a bargain. (Note bene: they calculate tip on the total including taxes, so you are paying tip on tax. This is unethical.) The food I had was very good, the drink was excellent (but small), and the service was also very good.... I would have given 4 stars but for the prices.

The sauce was so good we wanted to lick the plate. I ordered a fried grouper sandwich with coleslaw. The grouper fillet was HUGE, perfectly cooked and the breading was slightly and flavorful.

It had handmade items by local artists. Consisting off of things from necklaces & earrings, to photographs and shell art. What a wonderful eclectic store. I will be back if I'm in the area.
