Wow that food looks incredible and the decor is very nice. 52USD seems very reasonable for that. I think the salmon sounds the best to me, good choice.
We always show up to restaurants early as well and are usually the first to arrive as soon as the doors ooen for service lol.
We passed by the restaurant five minutes earlier just as they opened but didn't want to look too desperate so walked around a little, came back, and was still the first table to arrive.
Hahaha yeah that's exactly what we do as well. We're like sharks circling the water, waiting lol
