    Two of us had the seafood fettuccine and neither of us liked it all. It smelled very strong. We should have sent it back. Probably would have if the server had asked what we thought or why we didn’t eat it or take a to go box. Hubby had blackened redfish which didn’t have much flavor. Our other dining partner had the fish with browned butter and thought it was just ok. Turtle soup was lukewarm. It’s been awhile since we’ve been and it’s probably the last time.

    I didn’t like the blue cheese stuffed olives. They were not hand stuffed. They were old and pre packaged the stuffing didn’t taste like blue cheese. It was gritty and kind of disgusting. It really ruined my $20 martini.
