It was a beautiful day and outdoor seating was fantastic. Our Calamari was a bit soggy so we couldn’t enjoy it although the flavor was there. The entrees were good overall but I made an assumption that my omelette had cheese ( my badd) and it did not so it wasn’t what I expected. But the flavor was there. Our server was a bit nonchalant but service was not poor.
