    We went on Valentine’s Day, so it was very busy, but service was still pretty decent! A great place to o shareable small plates- especially the risotto tater tots! Expensive, but not the priciest thing in WeHa. Overall delicious food and a delightful evening.

    We thoroughly enjoyed both chicken entrées. Who knew they could be so different and yet both extremely delicious. The Peruvian chicken and the chicken confit. The shrimp was the best as an appetizer. Absolutely perfectly cooked and delicious. Would love to see the chicken confit join the menu, not just a chef special it was that good!
