La Travassa provided a wonderful evening; members began the evening on the scenic patio with refreshing melon and wine. Moving inside, Chef proved to be quite imaginative in his use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and every item was well-prepared and beautifully presented . The wine pairings were spot on, and the service could not have been better. Many members plan on going back!
