it had been a few years since my last visit and yes the quality has gone down, at least they're back to calling them french fries!

Ok seafood...not a great value 4/12/2006

I was disappointed in this restaurant. I had heard such good things about the atmosphere and the food. We were doomed to be sort of disappointed, even in the off season. We got right in for dinner with no wait. They have no menus, it is written on a chalkboard on the wall. This is fine if you are sitting facing the board and don't have to keep turning around. I ended up getting a neck cramp from swiveling in my chair. They do not feed you a lot here. Normally, I have a problem with establishments that overfeed you and give you way too much food. But I ordered shrimp marsala and my husband ordered shrimp scampi...there were, no joke, 8 shrimp on each plate and NOTHING else. You got a choice of salad or linguini. I have never in my life seen a place serve scampi with no linquini! Plus, the price, at $19 each entree, was really not worth it at all. The seafood is fresh, but way overpriced, and the tables are too small with no room for everyone to eat comfortably. There are no curtains or carpet and it's an open kitchen, so it is very noisy even with only 5 tables of diners! I would not go back. more
