    Overall I enjoyed my experience. Majority of the shareable items were amazing. My fav were the shrimp tacos and the salmon dip. The Steak frites was my only complaint for the steak itself. There was no flavor and the meat tasted strange to me however my mother liked it. It was her bday so that’s all that matters. All the food was gone. That salmon dip again was amazinggggg! I’ll be back and hopefully I can get the steak frites again with a better experience because I love the dish. The truffle fries were really good in that dish!
