I spent 8 minutes pacing back and forth around the restaurant because I didn’t know where the entrance was, so that was great. Anyways, order the piccata of chicken livers. I am convinced the only reason this restaurant is still open, is because of the piccata of chicken livers. It’s the best dish and the only reason I would ever come back. Did I mention how great the chicken livers were? Servers are very attentive, I left to go to the bathroom and they refolded my napkin lolololol. P.S get the piccata of chicken livers.
