    Had a very nice dinner for my friend’s birthday. Pleasant setting, good food, attentive service. We were surprised with a complimentary piece of tiramisu for desert! A very generous and appreciated touch. We will return. Too bad the restaurant is closing in the near future because of the dreaded turquoise tower.
