"The swordfish was the best I've had. Perfectly grilled with fresh herbs and lemon. Everyone in our party of 6 enjoyed their food and the desserts we shared were very, very good!"

"Had not been back to Sapore in quite some time, and was a bit disappointed this time - the salad and the desert was not quite up to par - however I certainly would go back, it may have been an off night."
