    Had a wonderful dinner at Clandestino. Our server Chris was fantastic and personable. The food was amazing. Enjoyed THE BEST CRABCAKES I have EVER had. The calamari was awesome as were the fajitas. The flight of margaritas is a MUST try and the Mala Santa cocktail was incredible (according to my husband). EAT HERE!
