If you haven’t tried the meatballs appetizer please do. They are tender and flavorful and served with naan bread. I tried the trout entree for the first time and it was delicious. My wife had the Entree Salad with Tenderloin. That never disappoints! I noticed that the prices haven’t increased like some other restaurants which makes it a good value.
