Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our experience this time. We ordered the red snapper ceviche and it was cubed and just not a very nice taste and texture overall. The scallops were nicely cooked and the puree was lovely but the bacon pcs were chewy and grisly. Best dish was the Asian greens and the raspberries cocktail was a hit!!
