You had a pop-up menu that allows you to select all 3 items, one from each section of the menu for a fixed price of $35. I had the beet salad, a 14 ounce pork chop and a chocolate fin with canned oranges. All were excellent, the Porkchop was very tasteful, moist and delicate. You also have a big wine list. The servers were very helpful and keep our water glasses and bread basket full. The bread was so good that my nephew had almost eaten a whole basket. The picture of the pig's stall shows the bone that was left.

The restaurant offered a pop-up menu that allowed us to select any three items—one from each section—for a fixed price of $35. I chose the beet salad, a 14 oz pork chop, and a chocolate flan with candied orange, all of which were excellent. The pork chop was especially flavorful, moist, and tender. They also have an extensive wine list. The servers were very attentive, ensuring our water glasses and bread basket were always full. The bread was so delicious that my nephew nearly finished an entire basket by himself. The picture of the pork chop shows the bone, which was all that remained!

It definitely feels like a higher-class restaurant. If I lived nearby, I would come here often. The food was absolutely incredible, and I would love to try every item on the menu. There's a wide variety of options to satisfy all appetites. Great job overall—please open more locations! Absolutely fantastic!
