    Loved our evening and highly recommend!! We attended the DaSilva Wine Dinner on 4/16. Everything was delicious, the staff was outstanding, and our only regret is that we live where the wine is not available. The space is historical and wonderfully restored for present use. Thank you for a delightful experience!
