We ordered the shrimp cocktail, weren’t fans of it, the shrimp didn’t taste like anything. We also ordered the salmon and penne as entrees, those were good. Both those dishes were very flavorful. I would definitely come back, just probably order a different appetizer.

                                                                        Is this helpful?
