I loved everything about my visit. Muhammad was the best. His jokes were hilarious. He was very engaging and never crossed the line to being annoying. He made excellent recommendations for both drinks and entrees. I ordered the branzino and got it blackened based on Muhammad’s recommendation and it was some of the best fish I’ve ever had. The green beans and fennel were tender and well seasoned.
