I absolute loved this place! Yesterday was our first time dining here and I highly recommend everyone giving them a try! The decor, the staff, the food and drinks all 10/10! Our amazing host walked us through the menu and his recommendations were spot on! The prices are extremely affordable, the portions are fulfilling and the flavors are impeccable! We even met the Chef and held great conversations with other patrons! Again, please give this place a try, you won’t regret it!
