    We’ve long been fans of Rioja but the dinner we had tonight was, perhaps, the best ever. The bacon-wrapped cod was perfect. The service, as always, was impeccable, and the ambiance was friendly, comfortable, inviting.

    We spent our 29th anniversary here and had an AMAZING meal. We hadn't been before and Skylar did a wonderful job going over everything, including his "not to miss" dishes and EVERYTHING was perfect. Both the pork and Kobe beef dumplings were among the best we have ever had and our meals were just as delicious. We had a few of the cocktails and they were also wonderful! It's always a risk spending a special evening at a restaurant you've never been to before, but I am so glad we took the chance because it was the perfect start to our anniversary evening and we will be back!
