    Nice to eat outside on their patio. Shrimp and avocado appetizer was excellent. Clams appetizer was also excellent with many more clams than expected. Chicken parm was excellent as usual though the portion has gotten smaller and smaller over the last few years.

    Appetizer was great. Pasta was bland and I had to ask for cheese!!! Not very happy about spending a lot of money for something mediocre.
