Both dinners were excellent, piping hot and plentiful. The flourless chocolate almond cake was amazing. The server went above and beyond, checking the internet to see if the standard side dish contained gluten. Since it did, she willingly switched it for something else that was GF.

The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The dessert, torta caprese, was a wonderful chocolate, nut torte with ice cream and whipped cream on the side. My husband and I shared the salad, wine and dessert. We will go back. Kudos to the chef.

when the dinners were served, only one person brought out 2 meals at a time. There should have been help and we should have all been served at the same time.
