We enjoyed the Thai calamari as an appetizer. It was a large portion and 2 of us couldn’t finish it. Their bread and garlic knots were delicious. One of their recommended dishes is chicken scarpariello which uses chicken meatballs instead of pieces of chicken. It was very different but delicious also and a large portion. The pistachio crusted salmon was also very good. One of the owners will check in on you to make sure everything is satisfactory which is a nice touch.
