We celebrated our anniversary here, and the atmosphere was delightful. So many tasty options on the menu! The "Marrow" dish with bone marrow and short ribs is a must-try - it’s an experience in itself to sip bourbon down the bone.
While we enjoyed the pork belly, the chicken croquettes didn’t hit the mark for us. The apple pie was our previous favorite, but we’ll have to come back for that! Lovely service, too; our waiter made the night extra special. Can't wait for our next visit! 🌟
