I had one of their specials: Halibut with Butternut Squash ravioli. The halibut was done perfectly, but the ravioli was flat, small, and nearly crushed. It was also hard and crispy. I wasn't expecting that. What I was envisioning was the halibut sitting on top of large fully puffed ravioli with a light sauce. I will not be getting that again. If you like butternut squash ravioli, look elsewhere.
