We were truly impressed by the deliciousness of everything we tried. We asked our waitress for her recommendations, and she did not disappoint. I intend to visit this restaurant frequently because I found the service, food, and prices to be exceptional.

However, the accompanying side dishes were perplexing and hard to appreciate.
