• Quiet, excellent food, friendly service.
• Dessert was only OK.

“We' ve been living just two miles from this restaurant, yet last night was the first time we ever tried it. It was a very pleasant surprise. It's a quiet place, with a small but very good menu (I hate it when the menu is too long, I just don't believe you can do 100 things well). We were greeted by the owner, David, who was very helpful and friendly. My wife had the spaghetti, which were truly excellent, with a rich, earthy taste due to the olives. She also had a glass of red wine, recommended by the owner, and she thought it was a perfect complement to the spaghetti. I had some sort of fish, which was delicious, with an avocado/orange salsa/chutney, and the combination was excellent. After that, my wife had coffee (very good) and I had the chocolate mousse cake, which was OK. Don't go there for the desserts, but *do* go there for the main dishes. Total cost : $52 before tip. Not cheap, but the quality of the food easily justifies it.”
