    Seating was VERY tight. We were a party of two and were stuck in a corner on top of a group of 3. It was good that we knew the individuals otherwise it would have been too close for comfort. Calamari appetizer was cold and like eating rubber bands. We’ve had a seafood entree, shrimp were over cooked and scallops undercooked. Not sure how that is possible but for what it cost…not good at all.
