   It just isn’t what it used to be. I’m sad about it, but also sort of expected it to be different and less quality.

   Could not hear the live music that they moved inside because of the rain.

   We normally come to Latin King about once a year. My wife and I wanted to try something other than the chicken Spindini which is normally our go to. My wife got “toasted” ravioli which seemed to be more deep fat fried and everything on her plate was pretty bad. Ravioli was chewy and had a meat filling with no cheese, the meatball was dry with little flavor when you didn’t douse it in sauce and then I guess the dish needed more meat so they also added links of meat with the dish that were not very good. I got the lasagna which was decent but had lots of sauce possible to compensate for the sad looking pasta. Tough experience seeing as we normally have a great meal here.

   We have been going to The Latin King for over 20 years. We have not been there for a few years. It never disappoints. Food is wonderful, service is top notch and the ambience inviting.

    Latin King was great but second time Open Table confirmed my reservation but they had no record of it. From now on will just reserve directly with them
