Casa Sensei is always a win. We sat by the dock with a great view of the river and gondolas. Large food portions … the salmon and sea bass were amazing as well as the dulce cheesecake. Our waiter Mark was excellent and made sure we had an enjoyable experience.

Shooters is definitely one of the few places where there is an incredible system of customer service in place. We have been there when it is crazy busy and also the rare times that it’s slow and always great service and food.

We had a wonderful dining experience. I had the Scottish salmon and my partner had the cod. Both were delicious. We shared garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy! I had red sangria! The best sangria I have had in a long time. Since it was my birthday the gelato was a great way to end the meal. Keep it up. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
