We had our Family Holiday luncheon at Burma 2 today. It couldn't have been a more perfect spot. Delicious food to share, plus a leisurely meal without being rushed. We could converse without shouting and the wait staff was friendly and efficient without being overbearing.

What a treat! I was honored to be included in their soft opening Thursday night, before they reopened to the public on Friday. Food was incredible, with generous portions. From the carpaccio to the ribs, coleslaw, Brussel sprouts, fries - my mouth is watering just thinking about it two days later. Beautiful wine to go with it. And it was topped off with a delectable citrus mini bunt cake that was light as a feather accompanied by an amazing Chantilly cream. Service was amazing - attentive but not overly so. It is wonderful to have Bounty Hunter back. The renovations looked great! Will definitely be there for dinner again soon!
