This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the scallops were a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The scallops were overcooked and the sauce was too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated for my liking. There were just too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I'll stick to my simpler seafood recipes in the future.

Not bad, but not great. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste and I found the mushrooms to be a bit bland. I think next time I'll try using a different type of mushroom and maybe add some herbs to the sauce.

A delightful dish that is sure to impress! My husband and I loved the combination of flavors and textures, although I did add some extra garlic because we love garlic! This is definitely a keeper and will be going into my regular rotation of recipe
