This was an amazing dining experience. The wine pairings were on par with every dish or moment during the dinner. The dishes were perfectly proportioned. Now, I am not a fish person, but the bronzing was on point; I might have to convert. The potato croquettes were speaking to my soul. The Blonderys blondies three ways perfectly finished off this amazing evening. 👏🏾
