From the music, to the service, to the food, everything was absolutely perfect. Everyone was very kindly attentive and the food was worth all the accolades(ordered the Papas Rellenas, the charred broccolini and the incredible Fried chicken sandwich. Wish I had room for dessert). Already looking forward to my next visit!
