Food was disappointing. The shrimp didn’t seem the freshest but was cooked well. The sauce lacked any salt so really didn’t have any flavor. Most places seem to use butter for the sauce base so I’m assuming the same here except it tasted nothing like butter, contributing to the lack of flavor.
It was my first time eating this kind of seafood and it was an experience: it tastes good, for sure, but it's quite complicated to eat if you don't know what you're doing.
The food is outstanding…you would be licking your fingers. The restaurant though needs serious renovation. Grease over the stairs, toilets are not so clean. Stiff staircase not convenient
