Outdoor experience was pleasant, warm w/ a little wind, service was excellent, plenty of food,rolls, cuisine a little too much sauce on my fish and spinach too heavily coated, a little too wet; taste was very good as were pasta dishes. I woul dine there again as other offerings seemed interesting. Oh, calamari was very good. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
