Branzino entree was very nicely prepared. Enough to share from 2. Hamachi crudo was excellent. Salad with blueberries was messy to eat.

Thank you for your review David. We apologize that you found the blueberry salad messy to eat, we can only hope that at least enjoyed it. We appreciate the honesty and will share your feedback with the chef. Thank you- Team Side Work
