I love chicken wings and these tasted great. They were a bit on the dry side, but the yummy apricot chili glaze helped me overlook that flaw. 🙂

This beef tartare was delicious, but I thought it was a bit weird to serve fries with it. I would have preferred something flat to easily eat the tartare with. The French fries were good though!
