Our friends' power bowls with fried shrimp and fried chicken were very good. My wife's fried chicken entree was tough and difficult to cut as was the accompanying broccolini. My mussels with lamb meatballs was tasty, but the menu described the dish as being in a tomato broth but really it was a white wine broth with a few giant chunks of tomato. Nice selection of wines from which we picked several.
