    It was a beautiful dining experience!! Four of us for the first time dining at Gourmand. The food is creative and delicious. Service is 1st class and very friendly. We enjoy the service of both Freddy and Shannon. We shared and enjoyed 3 appetizers: Blue Fin Tuna, Scallops and Bacon and the Chicken. For dinner 2 had Birria Ramen, one Chicken and one Spicy Rigatoni. Dessert we enjoyed 1 strawberry and 1 chocolate gelato! Food exceeded our expectations. Overall a really wonderful dining experience. We will be back very soon.
