The food was simply horrible. I am not quite sure what kind of sauce that is that they serve with the bread; but it absolutely disgusting---it a runny type of mayo. Who dips bread in mayo? We ordered calamari, the crab stuffed shrimp, and the creme brûlée for dessert. The calamari was a basket of fried dough; not a great deal of calmari at all. The shrimp lacked flavor and seasonings and the crab was overcooked. We were disappointed in our Mommy and Daughter dinner date overall. The only saving grace was our waitress who was nice and checked on us throughout the evening. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
