    Excelente opción! No es una zona turística, por lo que prácticamente todos los comensales eran locales. Cenamos la noche de Thanksgiving un menú especial con la comida típica. Super rica y muy bien presentada. Recomendable.

    The food here was absolutely incredible! I came for the Thanksgiving dinner, and everything exceeded my expectations. The turkey was perfectly moist, and the ham was delicious. From the starters all the way to dessert, there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t absolutely love. Highly recommend it!

    Everything here is pretty good. The main issue is the band is soooooooo loud. The music is good, but it makes it difficult to hear and have a conversation because it is so loud.

    Made my return to this restaurant for the third time to finally experience the happy hour menu. I tried the sliders, the wings and the hush puppies. Everything was delicious!!! To top it off I had two of their signature drinks called the Filé sour . My favorite drink right now is their seasonal cocktail their Winter sangria which is really like Christmas in a glass, however, it is not on a happy hour menu. Our server, Liam was friendly, professional, and kind and if you’re ever there celebrating a birthday, please request Patty, who has the voice of Jennifer Hudson meets Tina Turner to sing for the guest of honor!! if you have an experience this restaurant at least once I encourage you to do so signed a faithful customer!

    My wife told me that she passes this place every day on the way home. We decided that we would check in out for our selves. We are definitely impressed. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very intimate. The perfect setting for a night out with my lady. Celebrating both birthday and 20 years since the day we first met. ❤️ I really enjoyed myself
