What a wonderful evening we had here! First I have to say I love the way this place is laid out. There’s lots of private corners and beautiful art and high ceilings. It’s really an amazing find in a strip mall! The service was absolutely top notch. Then the food! everything was so delicious. My salmon was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented with all kinds of interesting flavors. The beet salad was both beautiful and delicious. Afterward I had an excellent tiramisu beautifully presented topped off with a fantastic European style decaf cappuccino. I also have to say the owner is a very nice man who was very kind to a member of our group who wasn’t feeling well. Everything was primo and bellisimo! - Dori
