    This was more than dinner. It was a full experience. From enjoying cocktail hour on the patio with cool breezes to a full 5-course meal in a small 7-table intimate space, this was a true perfection. Rob bounced from table to table with such joy it was fun to watch. He seemed to really love his work and to make people happy and to feel special. Alex, the mixologist, was also attentive to the smallest details. This was a night a will remember for a long, long time. Thank you.
