“ I enjoyed every bit of this platter 3 days and still didn't finish. My only complaint they didn't season the fish, and only received one hot sauce. There may be a wait,they cook to order so your food is fresh! I don't like having to pay 3.5% for using a debit card,so I'll have cash when I return. Definitely going back! That is my reason for the two four stars! ”
