    My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Potente for our anniversary! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was elegant and inviting. Our server, Jose, truly elevated the night with his attentive and friendly service—.The carpaccio, pasta with wild boar and rabbit were outstanding and the filet was buttery smooth. Looking forward to return.

    I’m not sure about these bad reviews I’ve seen but the experience at Gazebo was absolutely fantastic! My friend and I had an incredible time on Friday night. Rimah, our waitress, was exceptional—she truly made the evening memorable with her excellent service. The food was beyond delicious, with every dish surpassing our expectations. If I had to offer one suggestion, it would be to add a dessert option to the menu. A classic like fire-baked bread pudding would be a perfect touch to an already amazing dining experience. Highly recommend!
