Randomly chose to try because it is in close proximity to the Ogden Theater. So happy we did! the portions were perfect for two, the flavors were excellent. The highlight was the crab bisque - It was so rich and flavorful. Personally didn’t enjoy the mushroom but my friend did. We also enjoyed the truffle mac & cheese, short rib tacos, and dirty vodka martinis with hand stuffed blue cheese olives. Can’t wait to go back!!
