Angelica’s has been one of my favorites for years! The food and presentations are fantastic and the staff is always helpful, accomodating and friendly. The courtyard garden is not to be missed.

Excellent food with some interesting twists. I had an excellent salad with passionfruit dressing. A first for me. Another member of our party had a rice dish with an egg on top, he said it was perfect. I know we will be going back.

Our dinner at Casa Sofia was absolutely excellent! From the food to the service to the ambiance and finally to the check! We wanted to taste a a variety of things - so we ordered 4 smaller plates: a salad, the octopus, the halibut tacos, and the mussels. Every single mouthful was delicious! And the service was amazing. We left very, very happy. It’s a beautiful restaurant that’s not very noisy. You can’t ask for more than that!
