The wife and I came in for Restaurant Week. First time. Were looking for something different as were going to eat steak the next night. The 1/2 Rotisserie chicken came recommended. I've never eaten a half a bird in one sitting so I was a little shocked when it was recommended but when the server, Matthew, told us that it sells out, we just had to try it and brother, let me tell you, I have never had a more succulent bird in my life. My wife and I BOTH order the 1/2 chicken and had to pull up from eating it all that night.
