    This is an undiscovered and surprisingly affordable great meal. Talking to the wait staff, we were told that they are fairly new and had to overcome some initial hiccups, but I have to say, they definitely have it figured out! The food was amazing and the wait staff was on point. We had the braised short ribs (exceptional) and the lasagne which was a very generous portion. The only thing that bums me out is that once this place gets discovered, their prices will match what they are offering. Thanks for a great dining experience all the way around!
