The restaurant is small but inviting , with an atmosphere simultaneously contemporary and antique. Service is what the word gracious was intended to describe. Here, a waiter will not only whisk a plate for discarded green lip mussel shells away and replace it with another, but actually turn it when you fill up one side. Wine glasses are replenished with expert timing. And a waiter even softly apologized for accidentally bumping a chair that no one was sitting in.
Desserts are simple, but delicious.
Ask for a magical concoction that a waiter, on one evening, shyly presented as a surprise. Candelas may be tucked into a quiet corner, but if gentility and unfeigned hospitality count for anything, the restaurant should have a bright future.
