This time it was too spicy because of the addition of red pepper flakes. Will have to tell the waiter/waitress next time to tell the chef not to add the pepper flakes. Can't eat spicy. Otherwise love the dish. Other members of the party were happy with their meals.

We chose to eat on the terrace because the noise level in the restaurant was just a bit too loud for someone in our group who uses a hearing aid. Our terrace seating was perfectly comfortable, quiet and private. The food, as always, was beautifully plated and delicious. The service on the terrace was just as attentive and cordial as it is in the main restaurant. I’m sorry that I don’t remember our server’s name, but she was fabulous! She gave us time to relax and enjoy our meals at a leisurely pace, but also seemed to magically appear when needed. Thank you for another wonderful dining experience!
