The dining experience is simple, as the food is served in take-out containers, but it's absolutely delicious. I tried the swordfish special for the first time, and it was both tender and flavorful. We also ordered the tuna appetizer, which was fantastic. The service was quick, and despite being a large group of 14 adults and children, everything went smoothly.
