Golden Chicken Breast Schnitzel
Coating on chicken was a bit overcooked and dry but the salsa helped. Overall a good meal and filling.

Beef Bourguignon
Excellent! Tender beef with veggies and delicious sauce and noodles make it a filling dish. One of the best I’ve tried.

Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl
The first time I got this it was full and great, this time it was smaller and not as fresh.

Beef Bourguignon
Delicious. But noodles were a bit dry, would've been great with spatzle.
