Very small portions and the food was mushy/overcooked. You can’t charge that much for seafood and then mess it up.

The server was a little rude I think she was a little overwhelmed she didn’t explained the concept to us so we had to watch other people eating and then eat like them so we made the best of it . The food was good very tasty and food value for what we got .
