    The scallops with risotto in squid ink is soooo delicious! Such a perfect dish! Finally found a place that includes my fave squid ink in the menu. Good size portion and will have the left over next day. Should taste even better and richer! Hubby also enjoyed his salmon salad. Salmon just lightly cooked and so was moist. Skin was crisp to my delight! Place can get pretty loud when full to capacity. Also please have salt & pepper on the table. Took awhile to flag down our server to bring the pepper. Highly recommend the Hook and Plow!
