It was perfect. A cold night, and not crowded in the restaurant. Our server (new to us) was very good. I wish I could remember his name (hair pulled back, earrings). We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. We do not like the bacon on it and the kitchen made it for us without that. It is so good. We both ordered the mushroom & cheese gnocchi. We'd never had it before and it did not disappoint. It is an excellent addition to the menu. I usually get the Moroccan beef which is superb. Again, the gnocchi was exactly perfect. Just a lovely evening.

It’s obvious everyone works as a team. We talked to several people and all of them couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. Our server, Carlos, was outstanding. We had the “market” ceviche, which I don’t believe is on the menu all the time, and it was fantastic!
