    This was a very enjoyable dining experience. My only disappointment was that there were not more gluten-free menu items. There is no notation on the menu for gluten, dairy, soy, or nut products. There is only a notation for vegetarian. I was unable to predict what I would be able to eat at this restaurant. Unfortunately, there were only two items I could choose from. The entrée I chose was the vegan version of Lentejas con Chorizo (without the chorizo which was not gluten free). Fortunately it was delicious!

    Shaila was a wonderful server. Started with half Caesar Salad and Fried breaded Shrimp appetizer. Entrees were Shrimp Scampi over linguine and Fettuccine with Carbonara sauce with a side of large shrimp. All the food was AMAZING. Some Tito's and Stella's made for a memorable evening. Thank you. We will be back
