    Overall great experience again. The food is exceptional and I like the coziness of the restaurant. I particularly like that the music is not loud to allow for actual conversation with dinner companions. This is a great neighborhood restaurant and terrific meeting point for me coming from mid-beach and meeting friends coming from Ft Lauderdale.
