My wife brought me to this place for Father's Day, and the food was amazing.
We started with a CHARCUTERIE & CHEESE witch was just perfect. We ordered LAMPS CHOP and TUSCAN SHRIMP for both, and there were no complains. Our daughter ordered GORGONZOLA FILET, and she really loved it.
We had some MOSCU MULE, MARGARITAS, but the BLODDY MARY was the best.
We are definitely coming back soon.
