Absolutely recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the waiters were very accommodating and kind. If you’re having hesitations in trying it because fine dining is not your taste. Take it from a food truck lover like me you want to try this place. I don’t remember the last time I wanted to lick a plate clean. The food was incredibly fresh and locally sourced and the blend of spices and textures was amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
