    My sea bass felt like it was frozen and reheated. No one questioned why it wasn’t eaten.

    I’ve been a customer for years and always have had good experiences. This trip we ordered dishes (not pasta) which came soaked in butter and oil. I will go back as I like other dishes but hope they’ll go easier on the butter and olive oil. It’s a bit overwhelming.
