    Our waiter was Brett, who was excellent. We wanted to try different flavors so he helped us order several appetizers and a side plus made an excellent wine pairing suggestion. He was attentive but did not hover. Our top pick was the ceviche (halibut)-excellent just the right amount of spice. My second choice was maple roasted Brussels sprouts (sauce was too sweet for my wife but she liked the sprouts). Wife’s second choice was the beet salad-excellent. I really liked the calamari (little too salty). Wife thought it too spicy. Cream Catalan was ho hum.
