Ahi tuna is always great - either the app or the salad. Had the roasted chicken salad but switched it to salmon - that was great. The son had salmon (7oz) and ordered an extra side - he was happy. Hubby had the burger and tortilla soup (great soup).

Very hard to get a rez but good was excellent. Lasagna was fantastic and very different, using white sauce and rib meat. Pizza very good along with bouillabaisse. Fresh pasta. Make sure to ask which sauce is spicy though.
