The food, drinks, and atmosphere are amazing. The lasagna-type dish is out of this world. The squid was excellent. The drinks were delicious. The outdoor seating had a ton of shade and the garden is beautiful. The service was soooooo slow. I would give it another shot to see if the service improves because it was so good. There were two servers. One was working her butt off and the other was folding silverware so read into that what you will. I think they have the opportunity to be sublime but they need to have a hard working team to make it happen. - Amy Roy
