WOW! If you are looking for a fine dinning experience this is it! The food is amazing, very worth the somewhat pricey Menu. Most of the ingredients are fresh from the owners farm, cheese and everything (I think). They had even said that they were going to start pressing their own Olive Oil, but I am not sure if they had started that. You have your choice of sitting inside the small restaurant area, or going back into the nice Garden, which is equiped with out door heaters for chillier nights.
