| - Saw this little gem in the paper, glad we did. Wonderful venue for the west side. In the back of a strip mall at 59th Ave and Union Hills you would not expect gourmet food. We started with the fried calamari which was soft, with a crunchy outside served with pickled peppers that made the dish come together. I had the skirt steak and my hubby had the Pecan Chicken. This was the first time in a long time that I wished I had ordered the chicken over the steak. The steak was cooked perfectly for me with a layer of chimichurri underneath. The sautéed vegetables were EXCELLENT!!! Back to the chicken, when they say "pecan smoked" they were not kidding. The smoke flavor was a pleasant surprise. It was juicy, and cooked just right. The sweet potato orzo was a good match. My husband said, "this was the best chicken I have ever had". Three weeks old, they are still working out some bugs, but handle it so well you don't mind. I would like something other than fries with the steak, but my husband loved them. (I keep mentioning him because he is a tough customer). We will be back, more to try- the halibut, Caesar wedge, tortilla soup and dessert. Natalie was exceptional.
