Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

We enjoyed going out for dinner, and this was an experience. The server, Max, was excellent. He told us every dinner special with flair and personality, making every dish sound perfect. At his recommendation, we tried the tuna appetizer on pillow filo dough puffs; wow! We shared the beet salad (excellent), and the crab cakes were delicious. For dinner, the lamb chops were spectacular. We received a visit from Pete, who showed so much care for the details of the gorgeous Mediterranean interior, and Barbara, who ensured everything was perfect. Their care made us feel genuinely valued. We will make this a regular night out.
