The food is always amazing! The carnitas are fall of the bone tender and the orange glaze is beyond. The venue is super cute but what made the night was out server Denae D. Her personality shines and she can work a table like I’ve never seen before! She charmed my mom and dad, which is not an easy thing to do, and she managed to consistently check on us while managing other tables and being amazing over there as well. 10/10 will return again AND make sure I sit in Denaes area! I hope the restaurant acknowledges the amazing staff they have and keep her for as long as she needs the gig (:
