     it was good. My Customer had to fly and loved it. I had the seafood pasta and it was good. I like salty but for someone that does not like salty they would not like it. The scallops were tiny, but that’s probably the point the appetizers were small and petite. Nice change of scenery, and decent value old-fashioned were good.
