Grilled Ribeye Steak
steak was overdone. it had good flavor but would have been better if it was rarer so when heated up, would be not overdone. sides were good.

Chicken Pesto Penne with Ricotta
Will definitely order this again. The veggies are very tasty and fresh. Portion size is perfect.

Cajun Seared Shrimp and Orzo Salad
The pepper adds a different, spicy flavor profile. I think it’s needed to give the plate a depth of flavor. The texture of the meal is very soft overall. The cucumbers add a good texture difference.
