“A water pipe broke on the boat and we had to end the trip. There was a group of us and we were enjoying the boat ride. The trip being cut short was an inconvenience. The food was just okay. The bar-b-cue had no flavor. The mac and cheese was just okay. The chicken was ok. The coleslaw was good. The banana pudding was terrible.”

Had amazing food, what seemed like endless great wines, ate course after course of amazing Asado meats. Shared stories around the dinner table like we had all been friends for years.
