First time coming here on a Saturday, the place was packed, but I could still talk to my girlfriend with no problem. While the calamari was overcooked, the flavor was still good. The Sea Bass special entree was out of this world and cooked perfectly - such an amazing dish. The tres leches was an amazing way to end the evening and is sooooo good at Fusion 27.

Ordered the spinach dip with the cheesy lavosh (always our favorite) Scallops and french dip sandwich. Both were great. We went for the holidays and ordered some of the seasonal drinks which were not as great as the food but overall was a good time!
