    The atmosphere was very nice. The service was very good. The caprese salad was good. The seafood was well cooked. The pasta was very overcooked. The price was ridiculously high. $82 for 2 medium scallops, 1 prawn and a 5 ounce lobster tail. Once is enough. We will not return to this restaurant.

    Something isn’t right when your food comes out 5 minutes after you order it. Sadly, some of their meats seemed pre-cooked. Even the table next to ours was shocked when their food came out in record time? Maybe it’s a turnover thing?? Not impressed!
