    The server, Ronnie, provided explicit details re: menu. Most of them were on target and assisted my selection. The bass and trout were excellent as was the lobster tapa appetizer. All dishes were seasoned deliciously with perfect texture. The mac n cheese from the Valentine'sday menu was just ok. Being seated in a quieter area is highly appreciated. We will return.
