I had the small spinach salad with grilled salmon & a glass of pinot grigio. I like that the salads come in two sizes. Some of the other orders were Flat bread (enough for 2), Mussels (not a one left behind, cobb salad (enough for 3)! All and all a great time with friends...

Our only complaint was the food was average. Also, we didn't get any bread or side salad before the meal. For the amount and quality of the seafood it was overpriced.... Also, plain white rice with fish is boring. Would have been better with mashed potatoes. Someone in our group ordered the chicken and it was a good meal though!

                                                                        Is this helpful?
