Never in my life would I think I love mussels. But Rosa isn’t just a chef. This woman is a food magician! I can’t put into words how delicious this was.

Love this place and I'm always sharing it with people I know. Food is bomb, drinks are giving all that needs to be gave, great service, like they genuinely like their jobs. A little pricey but consistent so worth it.
