My mother and I were treated like queens, not because we are important dignitaries, but because that is the business model of this establishment. We will return, without expectation, but with confidence that it will be another exceptional experience. The venison, oh my, and yes it should be paired with the Malbec. Pablo, Jo, Gilles, Manner, and the rest of the lovely ladies that so graciously greeted us: thank you.
