This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili flakes. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

I was excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The mussels were tough and chewy, and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my usual mussel recipe.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy, and the mussels were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce and more tender mussels.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. The mussels were plump and juicy, and the lemon cream sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over angel hair pasta, and it was a hit with my family.
