    The overall experience was excellent. It is a beautiful restaurant with a calming ambience. We had a glass of bubbly and the smoked striped bass ceviche tostaditas to start. The fish was so fresh and the flavors were creative. For the main dish, we had the daily special rainbow trout and the albacore tuna. Both dishes were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were again creative and fresh. We asked for a wine pairing and they came back with a perfect Chardonnay to pair with both dishes. The service was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to enjoy great fish dishes.
