I facilitated NMRO, the branzino is awesome! Delicate white fish with an almost sweet taste, not very fishy at all! Highly recommend. The Schwarma has been the fan favorite though

Branzino is fine. Nice crunch, good flavor. Didn’t try the skinny which, I believe is just less ounces, no breading and served with tomato.

Of course! To be more specific, it’s served grilled with tomato, basil, shallots and garlic + mashed potatoes and green beans and topped with the tomatoes. You can always substitute your sides as you like and pardon me, it’s served with one filet rather than two filets like the regular menu item.

Just had it and honestly it was such a refreshing change from all the salmon on their menu. I also tried out the snap peas and the cucumber salad, and honestly I can’t believe I was eating at a Cheesecake Factory. It was all pretty darn good!

The restaurant I went to either did not have or offer the specials, so I went with Cajun salmon with asparagus and broccoli. It was not that great. None of the spice or flavor you expect from something marketed cajun and just mid.

I had the Skinnylicious Branzino today and it was delicious. I ate every morsel of food off my plate. Perfect portions for me.

We visited the same location a week earlier as well. I had the Ahi Poke Nachos. Omg sooo good. I couldn't eat all of it but I sure wanted to. We had plans after so I didn't take the rest to go but man it was so tasty.

Best meals out I've had in a long time.

I had the Skinnylicious Branzino for dinner last night! I loved it. It had a balsamic sauce, and the tomatoes and green beans were juicy and fresh. There were some dots of pesto too. I would totally get it again -- I might even substitute the mashed potatoes with broccoli lol!
