    Looking forward to coming back! The atmosphere and service is wonderful. We really enjoyed the guacamole with pickled onions on top and the drinks were delightful. The rice rice baby was underwhelming because the popcorn chicken was not crispy and it was overall very salty, but my friend loved her shrimp noodles! Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

    What a lovely experience my friends and I had at lunch . We dined alfresco. My friends ordered chicken parmesan and I had the grilled vegetable salad with added shrimp. We shared butter cake for dessert. All were outstanding. Jasmine, our server, was the best.
