Notes: Stumbled into this place after a drunken night of debauchery... Don't know if this was the $6.95 or the usual $9.95 portion because it was not enough for one person... or maybe they were running low since it was late that night...who knows? The calamari was covered in Italian breadcrumbs (the type you find in the grocery store with all the herbs already in them)... typical lemon on the side, marinara sauce to dip the little guys in - appreciated that the sauce was thicker than most since I love a good chunk of tomato with my squid legs! It also wasn't too coated in the breading which can be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask... but overall a satisfying plate of calamari on a late night... almost a tapas sized portion for the rich folks in Chelsea
