Reviews
- Finley_9Went on Sept 10 and I'm finally getting around to reviewing lol. First time here, and we grabbed a private room since the main dining area was packed. Honestly every single dish was on point — couldn't find a single thing to complain about, it's really just down to whether you're into that flavor or not. The braised oxtail was so good, and the lamb head clay pot was amazing too, and I'm someone who almost never eats stuff like that normally and I was still totally into it.
