My mom and I traveled to Jacksonville 3.5hrs from our town for an appt. We found this wonderful place to eat. Our meals were so very good and authentic. The service was excellent! Evana (server) and Nora (chef) were so warm, friendly, and welcoming. They even gave us a complimentary soup.
I highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed!

Kiko the chef was incredible so friendly, welcoming, and truly talented. The food? Spectacular. Every single dish was a hit! We were a party of 9, and we couldn’t help but pass our plates around because everything was that good. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. 25,173,838,382/10 recommend I’ll absolutely be back! 😍👨‍🍳
