Incredible meal! We went with the chef’s choice and even my picky husband loved the food. To find the place, there is no sign but a bench out front and a poster of a governor hanging across the street. And they keep the door locked since there is no room for standing inside—don’t be dismayed, they’re quick to see you and open it.
