My husband and I had a great meal here yesterday evening. The food was delicious - sea bass with grilled Mediterranean vegetables followed by the Belgian chocolate brownie - heavenly. Thank you to the chefs that cooked our food and especially to Liesa for taking such good care of us, we will be returning soon.
