Our waiter was excellent although there was a little language barrier. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms.We asked what they were stuffed with and we were told crab. We didn’t taste crab. It was all breading and dry. The breading just crumbled. Our meals were good. I had the short ribs. I had never been asked how I would like them cooked. Being a little confused about, I said rare because that’s how I get my steak. After he left I thought maybe I should have said medium well🤷🏻‍♀️. I will say they were good- a little tough but good. Can’t remember what he had. We were going to a concert so we didn’t have dessert. All in all it was a good meal. Cocktails were very good!
