    I had the pumpkin pizza made with homemade pita crust. It was vegetarian and just plain delicious. For starters we tried the little fishes & chips which was presented as a large length of potato chip, a fish mousse dip, and caviar for a pop of flavor. The service was good and yhere were some nice little presents for my birthday celebration...dessert and a unique wine bag ! We certainly will be going again...
