I want to take Chad home with me. But if I have to let him stay, then I hope all patrons get to experience his magic. But he does not work alone. Clearly the kitchen staff is amazing. Loved the tuna tacos, Caesar salad and lamb t-bone. Normally I don’t order dessert but I highly recommend the sticky pudding. Bottom line this is a 5* hands down.
