Amanda says, “They’ll party with your taste buds!”.
Served w/ a slice of avocado.
I really loved this place. Probably because I love Jesus. I enjoy the fact that they have Bible verses around. The hostess was really sweet and our server PJ was such a nice dude. Offered suggestions and came over and asked how we were. The food was good. I got the Mahi mahi with shrimp and it tasted fresh but I just didn’t think it was flavorful but not bad. I think I should have gotten pasta but I didn’t want to be full for the rest of my days.
