We had a fantastic experience. We had the stuffed dates and the charcuterie board which were two great choices. We also had the hazelnut ice cream along with the Manchego cheese and onion chutney dessert. The ambiance is wonderful and euro-teriffic. The service was friendly and diligent. I hate that I cannot remember my server's name, but she was extremely knowledgeable, kind and over-all friendly. I would love to return here often. They also have an amazing selection of sherry!
