First, service. We were greeted very pleasantly and then got waited on by Liz (Barbara Elizabeth). Food - we are vegetarians. So we didn't have a very large selection. But we ordered the famous goat cheese croquettes, the tempura beans, and the Chocolate Pot de Creme Brulee. Each item was absolutely delicious. Ambiance is beautiful too. We sat outdoors and it was pretty but so was indoors. read more

We dined here a few times this summer....outside in the back under the wisteria, and inside in their gallery-like space. Both are pretty options. Highly recommend sharing the Goat Cheese Croquettes - bite sized balls of cheese goodness, drizzled with honey and lavender. Perfection! We always get at least one seasonal Garden Salad - light and fresh! And I tried a few different main courses over our visits - all inspired and delicious: +Bucatini Pasta with broccolini, sun-dried tomatoes, chanterelles, and pine nuts +Burger (it used to be a thick and rich burger with a bordelaise sauce, but over the summer it was more of a double smash burger with cheese...very Americana, and a little "lighter" than the previous option) +Roasted Mt Lassen Trout - light and clean +Tikka Masala - I ordered this comforting dish with tofu but friends ordered it with chicken. It's flavorful, and a beautiful, bountiful presentation. Barndiva is known for their cocktails. We like our go-to classic and mezcal margaritas, but have worked our way through some of their signature cocktails, always adorned with dried fruit and/or edible flowers! If you haven't visited recently, I do recommend giving them another try. If you can't get a reservation online, call - that's worked for us! Cheers. read more

Went to dinner at Barndiva over Valentine's Day weekend, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Healdsburg. It was a cold night, but as soon as we walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and romantic--exactly what we were hoping for. The atmosphere was perfect: candlelit, relaxed, and intimate. Even though it was a busy weekend, the service was smooth and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Food was phenomenal (though admittedly I loved my boyfriend's dish way more, I think he had gotten the special for the night). We also ordered a bottle of local wine that completely elevated the whole meal. It was one of those bottles where every sip just worked perfectly with the food and the mood. Barndiva was the perfect spot to spend a chilly Valentine's night--amazing food, a great bottle of wine, and a space that just feels special. read more

We came here for dinner on a weeknight. This is a smaller menu than some other spots in Healdsburg but almost everything was great. The restaurant really is set up like an upscale barn, and the decor is amazing. We shared three starters, the goat cheese croquettes, harvest salad with oranges, and white bean hummus. The croquettes were tiny but very flavorful. They have lavender on top but it's subtle and not overpowering. I loved the salad with 3 types of citrus. The hummus was good, but needed more bread and vegetables for dipping. It wasn't anything special and I may skip it unless you really like hummus. I ordered the burger and would not recommend it. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great either. The description said it had caramelized onions and cheese inside the burger, but all I tasted was the wine sauce (which was good) and meat. The cheese sprayed out when I cut into it, so even scraping it up, I didn't get a lot of flavor from it. And the bread was too hard and tough for cutting, so I didn't even eat it. It does come a la carte, so I ordered the Persian cucumber that came with it and that was amazing, highly recommend, it's a little spicy and minty, just bursting with flavor. The service was very good. My friend ordered decaf coffee and they brought out another cup free of charge for our other friend to enjoy. However, I did ask the server what to get for my entree and she steered me wrong!! read more

Very unwelcoming host said we were early (4:59pm) and gestured to the back door to seat ourselves...nice! Food was so bland- a true flavor-free zone and whatever flavor we could find seemed to come from a bottle or jar. My halibut was dry overcooked, chicken tika masala tasteless. And $258 for an app+entree for 3?? WTF how did this place get such a good reputation????? Should have stuck with our go-to Bravas instead- read more

This place was delicious. At first, nothing on the menu immediately stood out, so we let our lovely server guide us and she nailed it with the jumbo asparagus, goat cheese croquettes, and house extruded bucatini pasta. The pasta was by far my favorite, especially on a hot day. The only dish we chose on our own was the tikka masala, and I would definitely recommend passing on that one. Our server was funny, friendly, and attentive. The interior was super cute too. And we can't forget the yummy cocktails, topped with the cutest little flowers. read more

Our first visit to Sonoma and I had to hit up all the foodie spots. After mixed reviews on Barndiva I wanted to be open minded. Based off the history this restaurant has served. My experience was fine but I can't say anything memorable about it. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Good flavors, good quality meats but the burger was very messy to eat and the fries were not crispy. The inside is adorable and the staff is kind! I came from 4 wine tastings, so I was sad to skip a cocktail with this meal. I needed that break! I'm still happy I got to visit Barndiva. It sounds like maybe it just lost something over the years and I hope that spark comes back soon! read more

Went to Barndiva on the recommendation of a colleague and I'm so glad I did! The restaurant was extremely charming, from the black and white films projected on the wall by the bar to the antler chandelier in the middle of the room. My husband got a cocktail and I got a glass of wine. I did mention my severe allergies to apple and pear early on, and the server came back and told me what drinks and food to avoid, but the cocktail my husband got was not an "avoid" and it did have apple, so just double check upon receipt! I really enjoyed my glass of chilled red. The food was amazing. Everything we ate was delicious. We got the white bean hummus starter (pictured) and shared the crispy chicken and steak frites. Would highly highly recommend the chicken, the flavors were incredible. We will be back on our next visit to Healdsburg! read more

Service was awful. Really unfortunate because the food was excellent. We waited an hour to be given a dessert menu after we finished our dinner just to sit another 30 minutes before anyone even checked in on us. The restaurant wasn't busy either. Mind blowing.

Came by this Michelin star restaurant in Healdsburg for brunch while spending a couple nights in Sonoma County. Barndiva is set in a barn like atmosphere, and features nightly pre fixe dinner and weekend a la carte brunch. There is both an indoor dining space as well as a beautiful courtyard in the back that is dog friendly. We made reservations the night before, for a party of two. Checking in at the restaurant was a breeze and the host escorted us to a table in the outdoor courtyard while also helping us set up a heater. The à la cart menu is geared primarily towards individual dishes, but there are a few shareable items. Several of the brunch items are also easily shareable themselves. Pastry board: great shareable, consisting of three pastries that seemed freshly made and delicious Croque Madame: beautifully presented, rich in flavor, very filling Steak frites: seasoned well, and very tasty steak. However, we ordered medium rare, and the steak was cooked with inconsistency throughout the meat with parts being more rare Barndiva farm apple pie: beautifully made small pie that's easy to share. Not overly sweet and pairs nicely with the ice cream it comes with Overall, we had a really lovely brunch experience. Other than the inconsistently cooked steak everything was fantastic. For a Michelin starred restaurant, Barndiva brunch is accessible for under $100 a person makes for a pleasant afternoon spot. read more

This was the first time I've been to a Michelin star restaurant and had a really good, stripped down meal without having to eat at least five courses and a wine pairing. This year, Barndiva went back to an al la carte, back to its roots style menu. And it did not disappoint. I highly recommend the steak, masala, and the trout ceviche. The trout was the most fresh I've been had. So much better than ahi tuna! The masala was a unique menu item. It wasn't very spicy, but was delicious and contrasted the other meals we had. The cocktails here are also experimental, and reminded me of high end speakeasy's. Also really dig the ambiance and service here. The walls are tall with dim lighting, and our waiter was awesome. Price point was better than I expected for a prestigious restaurant. Will definitely come back when I do wine tasting in this area again. read more

Expected more from a Michelin Star restaurant. The good: warm ambiance with thoughtful decor. The chilled corn soup and entrees were delicious. Fresh and taste was on point. The bad: our server was more interested in pushing cocktails than answering questions about the menu. He wasn't attentive and struggled to answer basic menu questions. Asked about the bucatini and waiter explained it was "more tomato based with some butter" when it was a very butter forward sauce with some tomato. Still good but not as described. Wife chose the vegetarian tikka with tofu instead of chicken. Didn't receive the naan that came with it and when we inquired mid meal we were told that wasn't part of the vegetarian option because of butter? Even when we mentioned we were vegetarian, not vegan, they didn't offer to bring it. There was no price adjustment for receiving less. I don't often have sticker shock but coffee for two was $20. The carrot cake was not worth the calories so we didn't finish it. I don't know how you screw up a carrot cake but theirs paled in comparison to a grocery store bakery cake. Stingy wine pours, not much more than a tasting pour. Left $250 lighter and disappointed with just about everything. 20% service charge is automatically added to the bill... which is fine if the waitstaff is attentive and can accurately answer menu questions. This experience makes me question the legitimacy of Michelin awards. If you can't get a reservation I wouldn't sweat it... there are better experiences and food just about everywhere. Barndiva is over priced and over hyped. read more

What a treat. It was hands down the best meal I have had in forever. We had the Salmon Tartare and the Little Gem salad, then the bucatini and the steak frites. Finished with the Peach Cobbler. So amazing that we did not leave one single spec on the plates. And the service. She was amazing and I wanted to hug her. I didn't take any photos of the food as didn't want to act like an obnoxious "influencer" which I am not. I guess I wrote a terrible review on them years ago. Glad I went back in to give them a 5 stars :) read more

We had a nice time dining here for lunch... Pros- food, quite tasty. The dessert melted in my mouth and was by far my favorite bite! Mocktails were also yummy! Service was great - friendly, attentive staff. Cons- parking is tough! I drove around the blocks several times before finding a spot. If you have reservations, add in time to secure parking before your meal time! While the food was tasty, outside of the cake, there's nothing that stood out as must come back for.... It's rough, Napa Valley is rich with amazing restaurants! My Napa Valley list has over 100 spots, so while I'm happy we tried it, not sure I'd come back for a full meal. Dessert, 100%, but I'll likely pick another list spot to dine. read more

Decided to have brunch at Barndiva after all the rave reviews and articles saying this is a must stop Barndiva has an elegant upscale farmhouse vibe. The interior is marked by warm medium tone browns and wire sculptures decorate the walls. The see through wine walls tells you this place is serious about their vino. The has several wine choices from bubbly to red. Also their cocktail selection was inventive with lots of their own takes on classic choices. I wanted to try more than a few. We sampled the following: -Reuben Benedict -Sesame Chicken Salad -Strawberry Mimosa -Sleeping Dog (Gincentric Cocktail) -Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice cream Everything was delicious!!! The Reuben Benedict was definitely the table favorite. Very flavorful but also very balanced. The side salad provided a nice palate cleanser. Also the Sleeping Dog was also very good if you are a Gin and Tonic drinker. Service was top notch and prompt. Overall great experience! Highly recommend! read more

The service was great. Food was good but one was quite heavy. - Turkish bread was my favorite dish of the meal. It's made fresh and served warm. The hummus was light, velvety. - Goat cheese croquettes: the batter wasn't thick, the cheese was light. - Trout rillettes: It's very rich, the deep fried bread stick came with it made it very greasy and heavy - The roasted trout with onion sauce was very good - Chicken paillard: the chicken was thin, breaded, came with great herb-y sauce on top. It's good - My husband got a cocktail and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the dinner and would recommend it. read more

The quality and flavor of the food are very good. The goat cheese croquette is a standout. The restaurant's appeal is truly California: simple, clean, and appealing. Service was courteous and friendly. The steak was a bit small for the price, but heck, no big deal. The bummer was the 19% tip that's added; it felt weird, but we paid it. Management needs to reconsider; you are working against yourself. Upscale restaurants should not penny-pinch their customers; most people who dine in these establishments will pay the upcharge. If it's relevant, this charge isn't. We will be back. read more

Now, if you are reading this, this is only a review for their bar program as I was only here for drinks. With 1 Michelin star, I would certainly return for the food. But I was here for libations. And libations were had by I. When you walk and and see the bar, you will certainly notice all of the flora adorning the bar-top. These are all feature in their cocktails in one way or another. They even have little paper place cards telling you the name of some of the botanical bounty featured on the bar. My partner ordered a nice glass of Burgundy Chardonnay and I started with their Sleeping Dogs, a take on a Spanish style of Gin and Tonic. Many of their fresh flowers and herbs made their way into this beverage. Oh, I forgot to mention that this was made by Mr. Daniel from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was the perfect mix of calm energy, drink knowledge, and being personable. I then ordered the Strawberry Orange Fizz. Normally, I stick to whiskey drinks but I was just in a gin mood that day. Both of these cocktails were a) beautiful and b) delicious. Not wanting to be wasted during the day after sharing a bottle of wine at lunch, I stopped at 2 drinks, but I certainly wanted to stay. I would certainly return here. Thanks, Daniel! read more

Food was good, drinks were well made and the bartender was nice. The place was packed and it's cute inside. I'm giving them three stars because ownership needs to get rid of the 19% living wage and healthcare charge. Our server explained that this "was not a tip and the fee goes to their healthcare and benefits". I've worked in restaurants for many years. I don't mind tipping very well. But it's not the customers job to pay employees healthcare and benefits. I'll tip 25-35% if service is good. But ownership is tacky for adding a 19% healthcare charge. Don't be cheap! Pay your employees right. read more

I'm so obsessed with how gorg the drinks were, especially my Barbie pink Sleeping Dogs mocktail. My friend got the Mystic Peaches. Barndiva was a dream. The duck and scallops (+ parilla leaves. Wow.) might have been the best I've ever tried. Everything was so good--the only thing we didn't love was the fig tart. It was good but a little lackluster. I can't wait to try their brunch! Lily our server was great. All staff members were friendly and helpful. The only thing I personally didn't love, was the interior design. Just not my style, but that doesn't matter when the overall dining experience is top tier. They really earned that @michelinguide star TLDR: amazing food & drinks, excellent service, lovely experience. I rarely give 5 stars but this is a 5/5. Would recommend to a friend! I wanna go back! read more

Unfortunately Barndiva was a huge, expensive letdown. I've been wanting to come to this restaurant since before they received their Michelin star. Food was far under par from other Michelin restaurants I've eaten at. Our food was overpriced and underwhelming with bland and uninspired flavors. Service was also slow and inattentive. There are much better restaurants in Healdsburg to spend your time and money. read more

After a nice hike in Riverfront Regional Park, decided to stop in to have brunch. We had reservations in advance and was seated immediately. The restaurant is inside a cute rustic barn and the interior is modern yet artsy. Lots of metal wire art and bright floral paintings throughout. I ordered the fried chicken toast and my hubby ordered the steak frites. My toast was very unique as the chicken patty was pounded into the toast so when you cut into in, you get both the toast & chicken together. Crunchy toast with a bite of chicken! The steak & frites was delicious except the meat was medium rare. We were not asked how we wanted the steak done, it was more red than what we were used to. I think most people would prefer Med Rare but we would have liked ours a bit cooked. The meat still jiggled when you cut into it! Service was normal, nothing spectacular or memorable. Mandatory 20% tip. For brunch, came out to $100 for 2 plates and a drink. Very expensive for what you get. read more

We sat at the bar at Barndiva prior to our reservation at Cyrus. Barndiva is amazing! A much elevated, sophisticated and sexier vibe at night than brunch. Their seasonal cocktails are amazing! The fried goat cheese balls with drizzles of honey and lavender is always delightful. We also ordered from the main pre-fixe menu which is available a la carte at the bar. The house cured trout crudo ($22) with mustard seeds and roe is refreshing. This lovely spot is for anyone who fancies a great cocktail, grab some elevated Michelin worthy snacks or come for a full dinner. Reservation highly recommended. read more

Barndiva is an absolutely incredible culinary and overall experience that I can't recommend more highly!! We came for brunch which was amazing. You can eat inside or outside but I would definitely suggest outside patio. Well covered with shade for hot days with beautiful trees, plants, and other decor. Cocktails were fantastic. Hot dog on the menu at a Michelin star restaurant was intriguing, so we shared one as a bit of appetizer to our individual main courses. Definitely a gourmet take on a traditional American casual dish...definitely something to try. My wife had the Croque Madame which was fantastic. I had the burger and added fries to it (no question). Burger was perfectly cooked to order with amazing combination of spice/heat with slight sweetness. Definitely a must have item! Service was fantastic with friendly and helpful staff. Definitely a place to make a staple brunch spot in Healdsburg and Sonoma County overall!! read more

Amazing food, amazing ambiance, amazing staff - wonderful evening. My brother and SIL were visiting Sonoma from Dallas for their 40th wedding anniversary. Our last night in Healdsburg we went to Barndiva for dinner. Best meal and experience we had the three days we were here. Our waitress Liz was excellent, friendly, super helpful, and very attentive. Just perfect. Sat outside under the perfect Fall evening sky - . It's nights, food, and people like these that make California wine country magical. Highly recommended. We live in Oregon now but Barndiva is at the top of our list when we return. read more

Let me start by saying that the bad reviews of this restaurant are grossly over exaggerated. Had this place not received a Michelin star for multiple years in a row, it would generally knock the socks off of most patrons. But, alas, that star certainly places expectations to almost unattainable heights. Now, to the dinner... My son and I were promptly greeted at the time of our reservation and seated at a table that the host thought we'd enjoy, given that my son is 14 (right next to a running projection on the wall of old timely black and white film and technicolor Disney cartoons). We both enjoyed that touch. Then, within just a few minutes, our server took our order. I got an Y La Luna Mocktail (a Paloma-typle concoction with zero proof tequila). My son and I agreed that it was probably the best cocktail we'd ever had (I frequently make him gourmet mocktails at home). (5/5) Then we ordered the potato leek soup, the goat cheese croquettes, and the deviled eggs. For our entrees, my son got the steak frites (medium rare) and I got the bucatini pasta. The deviled eggs were topped with caviar, which was an excellent touch. They were not the very best I'd ever had, but they were way up there. Nice creamy filling with a savory pop from the sturgeon caviar. (4.5/5) The croquettes, on the other hand, were to die for. Warm, sweet, crispy, exterior, with a brilliant tang of soft goat cheese inside. We both loved them. And, both of us having had them elsewhere, would place these on par with the best we'd had. (5/5) As for the potato leak soup, my son had not read the reviews, but his mind was blown from the first bite. I am in total agreement with both his assessment and the other reviews I've seen on here. The soup was truly the star of the show. He and I both agreed that it was far and away the best we'd had. An absolute must. (5+/5) As for the entrees, the bucatini had plenty of broccolini and seasonal mushrooms and other little veggies, and, contrary to other reviews, the serving portion was plenty. It was much more filling than it looked. Flavor-wise, it did not steal the show like some of the other dishes (I asked for a side of salt to liven it up a bit), but it was more than acceptable. (3.5/5) To my son's steak frites. He and I both agreed that the shoe string fries were cooked to absolute perfection. We wouldn't have changed a thing. And the steak...well, again my son's mind was blown. A perfect cut, cooked to absolute perfection. There were reviews that claimed it to be unevenly cooked, but, as my son pointed out, because the cut was so nice, he was very happy that they veered to the rare side of medium rare. Just perfect. (5+/5) We then finished the meal with the chocolate cheesecake, topped with a raspberry powder. It was a tad on the rich side, but was nice when paired with the blackberries and raspberries on the dish. (4/5) I mention a bit of the ambiance above, but it goes well beyond the film. The music was modern and relaxing. There were stamps and other art displays on the walls. An antler chandelier. Dim lighting. And a cast of exceptional people who catered to us with impeccable service. Thankfully, not too stuffy. But definitely brimming with beauty, attention to detail, and sophistication. (5/5) As for value, I can't imagine having such an experience for better value. For all of the above, it was $200 out the door (tip is included on the check). We had such a great time that I was compelled to leave extra. We will definitely be back. Highly, highly, recommended. Very thankful that Barndiva, though they lost a Michelin star for it, got back to its roots and became an accessible restaurant that most of the public can truly enjoy. What a brilliant dining experience. Kudos, Barndiva! read more

One word describes how I feel - disappointed. It's been many years since I last dined at Barndiva and have always considered it a special place. When it received a Michelin star in 2021 and again in 2022, I knew it was well earned. I was happy that they survived the pandemic and was really looking forward to taking my new wife there for dinner thanks to a gift from some local Healdsburg friends. Overall, I would give it 3.5 out of 5 - 3 for food and 4 for service. The plusses - the Goat Cheese Croquettes were to die for with its tomato jam filling. The shoestring french-fries were also quite good. My wife's special cocktail The Grenadian Spritz, was also boozy & great. The so-so's - my Winter Manhattan served straight-up. At the end of the day, it was Manhattan inspired but its flavor was more punch-like. Not sure how long the ice was in the drink to chill it, but it also seemed to be quite watery. The other slight miss was on the timing of staff. After the Croquettes came out as our appetizer, one-by-one everything else came out with a few long pauses. The bottle of wine seemed to be forgotten once everything had been served, so we needed to reminder our server. This is NOT what you would expect from a Michelin star. She ordered the Gallery Burger, I the Crispy Chicken Paillard and to share, the Onion Bhaji and Frites. The minuses - her burger, my chicken and the chutney served with the Onion Bhaji was a total miss and nothing like a chutney, more like a light dipping oil/sauce. Her burger looked burned on the outside and although the cheese on the inside was melted, the meat looked and tasted under-cooked and almost raw. The description of my chicken was certainly crispy, to the point of being very dry. The breading was overly salty and the dressing on top had very little flavor. I was glad it came with a half lemon that I could use for moisture and to off-set the salt. After we received our gift, we heard that the restaurant had changed its format and menu. It's a sad departure on what Barndiva used to be. For the price, there are better value dining options in Sonoma County with similar menus. I wish Barndiva the best going forward, I just feel like they have lost their way and this review really pains me to write since I truly was looking forward to sharing an amazing dining experience with my wife that ended up being underwhelming for both of us. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant in Healdsburg. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the service is outstanding. They offer an a la carte menu, so you don't need to do the $120 p/p tasting. Generally, I thought the price:quality ratio was very good. The cocktail was also exxxxxcellllent! If I were to go back, I'd not skip the salad, roasted trout, and I'd wash it all down with a seasonal cocktail or local wine. Great spot, I'll definitely be back one day. read more

I had been meaning to stop by here. Great for a date night, atmosphere was relaxed and the area in the back had nice ambiance to it. Plus, they're dog friendly which was great for us, though the dog we were sitting was much too friendly and bored wandering to nearby tables to say hi. Thankfully the other patrons didn't mind so much. The staff provided water bowls for our pups and some treats to boot. The service is excellent, helpful with any questions, and checking in frequently. We had orders the Mount Lassen Trout and roasted duck with pommes puree for entrees with croquettes, early girl tomato and sungolds, and the ratatouille to start. The flavors were really good, presentation simple. Definitely designed for a lot of little bites. I'd say my favorites were the ratatouille and the roasted duck. Things were cooked well but I was stuck on the sauces. The sauces really made it tho I often ran out of them for each dish with the mediums that were good but didn't shine as much on their own. Everything tasted really fresh tho as far as the ingredients. We also got the halo halo to finish off the night which was interesting in the deconstruction. Well worth the stop and tho infrequent, we'll be back again. read more

Barndiva is one of my new fave spots in Healdsburg! We were wine tasting in the area and wanted to have a nice brunch in between our tastings. I made a reservation two weeks in advance for our group of 4, but they had plenty of seating available for walk-in's as well. The weather was gorgeous that day so we opted to sit outside. I'm a sucker for aesthetic drinks and their brunch cocktails were so refreshing and pretty! I loved "Save Me" and "Let's Blame Monica" in particular. I do admit their food menu is a little limited for brunch, but everyone was able to find something they liked! We ordered the Goat Cheese Croquettes for the table and they were a great starter. Even my boyfriend who doesn't like cheese enjoyed it! For our mains, I ordered the Omelete. It's a great option if you have a lighter appetite. The omelete is prepared French style so it's really light and fluffy. It also comes with a great side salad! The two guys in the group opted for the Fried Chicken Sandwich. I took a few bites and it's no Popeye's, but I appreciate how the chicken wasn't overly fried or greasy. Overall, it's a great spot in Healdsburg to grab some food and drinks and I'll definitely be returning to try their lunch and dinner menus! read more

Stopped by here for a quick brunch before heading to Mendocino. We arrived earlier for our appointment but they were able to seat us right away. The weather was nice so we sat outside and indeed it was quite nice to have brunch out in the sun. We got the pastry board, Croque Madame, and Reuben Benedict. All of the food were presented well and taste great. The food is a bit heavy so the accompanied salad helped reduce the guilt slightly :) If I get a chance I'd definitely try their dinner. read more

I'm not a brunch person AT ALL, so I usually avoid it at all costs. But we decided to go and this was the best brunch I've had. I'm not into classic brunch food, it's usually mediocre even at good restaurant. But this brunch is the exception. The salads are cold and crunchy, my favorite was Lukka's Sesame Chicken Salad. The Reuben Benedict was better than a classic Benedict in my opinion. It blew me away. Then the Crispy Chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, refreshing, and well balanced. Overall we had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. (Nov 23) read more
