If google reviews had 10 stars I’d give it a 10. Each dish had a unique flavor profile. Don’t be swayed by the limited menu, it’s small but powerful. They even have a chef’s creation option. We got lucky and walked right in on a Saturday evening - they’ve just opened two weeks ago, and we’re sure this place is gonna do well. Good luck to Ken and team!
