    This place is excellent. The Prix Fixe was just what I needed. The lamb “upgrade” was well worth it. Best I’ve ever had. I was torn between the butternut squash soup and the beet salad. Since I decided to sit outside, the beet salad felt like the better move. It did not disappoint. The dessert trio “upgrade,” also worth it. All three selections were delightful. I would also recommend the Malbec by the glass, as well as the bread service. The outdoor seating was also quite nice.

    We sat outside on the patio. Fiesta was going on nearby but the noise level was surprisingly low. Food and service were excellent and the squirrels and birds were entertaining!

    A glass of wine and seasoned soft rolls started the meal beautifully. We went with small plates of caesar salad, steak bites, and empanadas. All were fresh and delicious. For dessert, the key lime cheesecake was a refreshing last course. The outdoor dining and attentive service combined with excellent food made for a very enjoyable evening meal.
