We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
