She is a warm, vivacious host who is totally immersed in the day-to-day success of her establishment and it shows right down to the dedicated staff on the floor.

Tasty tapas, delectable small plates, are served daily in the hip bar/lounge (20 choices ranging from $4. to $10.). Chef Magno creates a colorful palette of taste sensations with such teasers as:
