It was a very pleasant experience for sure. The wine was good too (although I'm a beer drinker mostly). But our family loved the wine, so it must be good :). My only issue was the price. We ended up just shy of $400 for 5 people. The wings and the sauce were fricken amazing. At $14, they were totally worth it. But I still question the $386 price tag where we share a meal or two.
