Always delicious moist rice with the seafood paella pictured. The garlic chicken was tasty and cooked perfectly. It was not dry. Someone at the next table was having a huge meaty lobster which I'll have next time. You can have homemade chips which are not greasy or burnt. They have a nice veggie platter too. - Ali S
