- AAnitaNew Jersey •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoyed our dinner beyond all measure. The cheese curds were delicious and I asked for garlic aioli dipping sauce to have with them. It was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had Spanish Chicken & Rice. He loved his dish and I had chicken and waffles with a honey aioli. Both dishes were next level great with the chicken being tender and juicy and flavorful and we followed those amazing meals with a delicious lace de leche bread pudding with vanilla ice cream so great, I ordered one additional to go! Kudos to the chef! We used to visit a lot prior to COVID and this honestly made us so happy to see this establishment survive and not just survive…improve which is hard when they already were top tier! The wait staff was just the right amount of attentive too!More infoUnion and FinchPrice: Moderate• American• Allentown•4.8
