Garlic Steak Fries

Large portions with great taste. An amazing appetizer to eat while waiting for meal and while eating meal. Took it home, and ate next day.

Chicken Piccata

I highly recommend the chicken piccata. The chicken was tender and although I chose the sauce with mushrooms which was very tasty, meat sauce is an option. I paired my dish with spaghetti but there are various options to suit your tastes. The generous serving is worth the price.
