Last night, we had dinner with my family and friends as a group of six. The appetizers were incredibly delicious.I highly recommend the Thai calamari and beets tower. I had the Branzino from the special menu, and it was very fresh. The service was excellent we were warmly welcomed and had a great experience. You’ll regret it if you don’t try Benny’s Banana Crunch for dessert!
