Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The crab and ravioli special was terrible. The sauce tasted like canned and the ravioli filling was mush."
  • "The Tiramisu I ate for dessert looked like a leaky sponge, with hardly any Mascarpone in it's base and the taste and smell of burnt espresso engorging the entire dessert."
