All three restaurants served excellent food, and I mean it was so good return visits were mandatory. We met Mr. Ki himself. Very funny guy. Unfortunately, I made a mistake with the camera, and we lost footage of our moments with him. Bessy did a wonderful job. Courteous and helpful. Told us all about the food.…”
