Are here with our team from Fort Wayne Indiana. We did a family style plating of the starters! I would highly recommend the Octopus Carpaccio for a starter! The fish sticks were plain and un seasoned so I would skip these. I had the cream soup and it was delicious, I also did the 2.5 lbs lobster sautéd in garlic butter, that is a MUST HAVE! My fiancé got the chicken Cesar salad and it was also delicious. Our waiter, Dario, was AMAZINGz make sure to ask for him.
