He was very helpful in selecting the perfect wine and describing the various entrees. The chorizo-stuffed yucca appetizer was delectable, though I would have appreciated a little more sauce. The entrees were generously portioned and quite tasty. The chocolate mousse was simply outstanding! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. My only criticism would be the loud, distracting music that was playing during our visit.

I’ll post some pictures so you can see. They seemed to have a wall with a large wine selection. I had a sparkling moscato which was delicious. The staff seemed friendly maybe family run service was a little slow I’m guessing maybe short staffed. The menus seemed rather pricey but we all enjoyed are meals. Each plate was a good portion. We had pork and little necks it came with 4 little necks, lamb chops, beef cooked for 6 hours it did have some fat on it but seemed to melt off as you ate it. Beans and Chourico dish which was also flavorful but seemed more like a side dish than an entree to me. Overall I liked the atmosphere and food but difficult if your on a budget. Also they served bread and butter and cheese and bread both with a charge. What I wasn’t a fan of was the water they served us it tasted fine but the bottle was $8.00 which we only found out about on the bill.

We ordered appetizers and drinks for dinner, but when the bill came, we were surprised to see an $8 charge for water—who does that? We would have brought our own if we’d known. It was our first visit, and I found the atmosphere quite relaxing. The food was good, and our waiter was attentive. However, it's not a place I would be eager to revisit anytime soon, although the prices were reasonable.
