We had a great experience with a party of 6. It may have been unavoidable, but it was VERY warm at our table at the back of the restaurant. It was a warm spring day, so maybe that was thei ssue?

The current menu gave great a great option for the vegetarian (Hen of the Woods Mushroom). The escalvida was amazing, strongly recommend that as an appetizer. I really enjoyed the carcamusa (pork shoulder and chorizo). Chef Greg did an outstanding job as did our server John!
