Still a great place for reunions and meeting up with friends and family. Food is still delicious. I ordered Fili Beef and Tomato. Too bad the strawberry shortcake is unavailable. Desserts for the day were a disappointment. The cheesecake is too sweet. Food for the gods is too dry. Both taste unappealing.

I finally tasted the most delicious Sans Rival ever!!! It was chewy, not so sweet… PERFECT! Also the best tasting Tres Leches I ever tasted outside of Mexico City or South America. It’s their Mother’s Day especial, it is a MUST TRY. Lovely treat

I love their pasta and cakes. Staff are accommodating, polite and courteous. The ambience is great, pet friendly and you can dine outside with your pet companion. We ordered Wild Mushroom Soup, Pasta Amatriciana with Italian Meatballs and Smoke Salmon & Cream. All tasted great.
