5.0 of 5 stars. Prices are a little higher here, but the atmosphere and food are worth it if your wallet can comply. The fish I had last time I visited was fantastic, cooked perfectly.

3.0 of 5 stars. Preface: Tucci is falling victim to a pet peeve of mine: out of date advertising, details to follow. I probably would lean more towards 4*s than 3 without the peeve factor. This place is date 3...

Good, but expensive. Since they stopped accepting the Passport unlimited dining, even more so
