The food was mostly good. Not much seasoning was used. Definitely get the artichoke dip and crab cakes. Steaks cooked perfectly but lacking seasoning. Fried chicken was way overcooked and could barely chew through the fried batter. But overall I’d go back for the service, it was the best I’ve had all year. Thanks Maximiliano.
