This is a place of culinary magic.  Traditional flavors,  unimpeachable ingredients brought forth in a modern way.  Each plate satisfying, but leaving some room for the next one.
The deboned piggy trotter pancakes will deliver the crunchiest,  most delectable bite you can hope for.  If good eats were illegal, this place would be felonious.
