Amazing food! Everything we ordered was delicious. One of the big surprises was the massaged collard greens salad. My husband really ordered it for me because I love Kale and strong greens like collards. We both gobbled it up it was that good. The ho cakes; so yummy and light. Mac and cheese; not overly heavy, cheesy goodness on a cold blustery night. The Adobo chicken was incredible, perfectly cooked and the flavors were unforgettable. We will be back for more food to try on the menu!

We enjoyed the chicken liver pate, and the onion soup was as good as we've had anywhere - recommend trying them both. And then, couldn't pass up the scallops again - excellent. Warm, friendly, service as always.
