From the drinks to the entree...not good! Friendly waitress, all undercooked food. Veggie kabob isn't flash grilled, you actually need to cook it!!

Had an awesome dinner last night. Sword fish fingers, grilled striped bass and grilled veggies all were awesome. Daughter and her friend loved their seafood pastas.

I hope enjoy special dinner with all my family. But it's not famously. It was feel regular food. Too much pasta and also too expensive!!
