[email protected]This dish is way too expensive for what you get. I could have gotten a better meal at a restaurant for the same price.

[email protected]I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The scallops are sweet and delicate, while the orange saffron aioli is tangy and savory. The two flavors complement each other perfectly.

[email protected]These scallops were cooked to perfection! They were tender and juicy, with a slightly caramelized exterior. The orange saffron aioli was the perfect accompaniment, adding a bright and flavorful citrus note. I will definitely be making this dish again
