We eat here often and LOVE IT, however we were less than impressed with our New Years meal. Nothing really exciting on the prefixed menu and sadly the main courses “seabass” was fishy and the lamb chops fatty….big disappointment 😦. Our server Jorge was wonderful as always and The desert offerings on the second floor were delicious and enjoyed the music and atmosphere. We will be back, just a hiccup for sure.
