A bit disappointed this time around. The calamari platter looked a bit “anemic”. The portion was about half the usual serving and was not as tasteful as what we experienced before. The fish tacos were so so… We typically follow up with the branzino meal, but we opted not to since we were less than impressed by the appetizers. We ended up leaving to end our dining experience elsewhere.
