If it was good enough for the President, it's good enough for us!

Tasty Tuesday, OK, so tonight, Karyn, our newest family member, treated us to a meal bursting with big flavors, great conversation, and more memories!! Thanks Karyn.

We chose the tasting menu and it was definitely a perfect decision from start to end! Stenise, our server was right on with the descriptions and made the meal even that much more enjoyable. TA...
