I surprised my wife with going to Mico for our 35th wedding anniversary dinner. Accompanied by our 27 year old son we had a wonderful time. The food was very good, the service was good, but I thought the waiter waiting on 8 tables at the same time was a little to much for the standard I expected at a 5 star resturant. Outside of that the evening was everything I hoped it would be. The special was the trout which was very good, the Branzino and the Cowboy Ribeye were to my wife and our son's expectations. I never had Yucca before and found it to be very enjoyable. All in all a very memorable occassion.
