    We came from Punta Gorda, so about 50mi/90min trip just to dine with you to celebrate a birthday. We had a wonderful meal🩷 Always enjoy the 1905 salad, but we also had one of my husband's favorites, the Steak Palomilla and I tried the Pollo Manchego for the first time. The palomilla didn't disappoint but was blown away by the tender succulent chicken dish. Definitely, a great suggestion by our server, Sheila. Sheila was so attentive with catering to our every need and yet was doing the same with all her tables. We had a fantastic day all because of where we chose to spend our lunch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND that if you haven't been there before GO. THEN GO AGAIN AND BRANCH OUT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW!
