Have been here several times. two points of note. First, the restaurant was virtually empty this visit and so very quiet. Can't say would be same if busy. Also, for those who check restaurant grades - as I do - three grades (and certificates) are listed. One "A" and two "Not yet graded". Caused confusion. However, I called Dept of Health to ask about this and they said last inspection in July 2024 was "A". I mentioned this to manager.

We loved the atmosphere, very romantic. The food was excellent and our waiter was lovely. We did wish they served liquor and not just wine. We ordered both types of sangria and while it tasted good, it did not have much liquor in it...more like a yummy juice. I would still go back but order a bottle of wine instead.
