Had the festiva bowl without sour cream, and pico de galo and guacamole on the side for the tortilla chips later!
Outstanding!
Had the Creemore IPA, which I never had before. Must say, very falourful.
Gio was an outstanding host at the bar. He hosted the entire bar crowd, pretty impressive!
The top middle screen of the bar tv was a blackout, which made the Raptor game a little odd, since that part of the screen covered the hoop!
Hope it gets fixed by my NEXT visit!
