5.00The meal and wine were so extraordinary. We enjoyed it immensely. I would only add that getting a bit more wine would have been the only thing I would change. Or even the option to have a bit more wine if we wanted. Mario was very pleasant and of course knowledgeable.
Gorgeous view excellent people!
