    It was such a delicious meal. We had the pulpo , smoked spinach croquettes and the swordfish special for apps. Then ordered the Filet mignon, which I thought was just ok, but the lamb tagine was amazing. I forget the name of the dessert but it was like french toast. Delicious. Drinks were excellent as well!! Definitely give it a try.

    Aaron was our server and he was one of if not the best server I have ever had. Such a nice man that honestly made you feel like you were a duke or something, definitely made the experience felt more like luxury. Food came out super fast too and y’all need to try the Asian chili sauce chicken wings, they’re to DIE for.
