It was interesting, good, but I think I like a rice base best. The hose special Manhattan was perfect!

The waiter asked us what time we needed to leave and we told him 6:45. At 6:50 one arrived. At 7:05 we asked him where the other was and he said it was coming. At 7:15 we asked him to go check and he came back saying it was not coming at all!!! I’ve never been to a restaurant where they just didn’t have your order and people left hungry!!!

Stellar! True haute cuisine. Incredible, mouth watering dishes that make for a truly memorable dinning experience. Great scratch bar too! read more Stellar! True haute cuisine. Incredible, mouth watering dishes that make for a truly memorable dinning experience. Great scratch bar too!

The food was delicious and satisfying and a bit exotic relative to what we usually eat, which made themeal very special. The highlight was the Flamenco performance. It was an outstanding group, with a very talented guitarist, asinger with a perfect Flamenco voice, and two incredibly skilled and evocative dancers. It's so great that we can get a taste ofthis without traveling to Spain. We're looking forward to our next visit.
