Shared beet salad, Caesar salad and Honey Glazed Korean Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. Nice and crispy skin...surprised that I got a half chicken (drum, wing, thigh, breast), so great dish if you're hungry! Others ordered pasta and enjoyed their dishes. Topped it off with a pecan pie that was much softer than others...
