What can I say? This place has absolutely incredible food! ❤?
The beef jowl is unlike anything I've ever had-definitely not your average beef stew! The pasta that came with it was just as flavorful. The pizza? Executed perfectly, with wonderfully stretchy cheese & fresh veggies. The escargot was rich, buttery, & delicious. To top it all off, the complimentary crème brûlée from their current promotion was the cherry on top, & the portion sizes are huge! The prices are very reasonable, & the service is incredibly warm & welcoming.
