One of the best meals I've had in a long time. I had the Shrimp Louie salad and a side of chilled asparagus and all ingredients were fresh and perfectly ripened. The shrimp was thick and tasty. Nothing was overwhelmed with sauce, just the right amount. I only wish they had a chocolate dessert option - didn't really like the pineapple upside down cake.
