Food was great! Found it online with TikTok lol. I’m glad the app didn’t let us down. I’m full and sleepy. I wish the drinks they had made more tequila options . The pear Martini I had a was different but tasty. Also had the spicy chicken that was HUGE. It was so good and the fries were fresh. The appetizers had too were amazing. Brussels Sprouts and spinach dip combo was exactly. Out waitress Sophia was awesome.
