Fine to think that and perhaps it is the best seafood many have tasted but when it come down to it it just isn't that good. IMO anyway.

I find East Side Mario's has taken a dive in terms of quality. (Mind you their garlic loaf is still amazing). A few years ago I had the Chicken Parmagana (sp) and it was one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. Lots of thick sauce, thick curly noodles, heaping which cheese, and piles of chicken mixed into the dish. I couldn't finish it all, and it was stellar reheated the next day.
The next time I went back the chicken was like an uncrispy battered breast on top of noodles with generic tomato sauce and a bit of cheese on top (but under the chicken). I was thoroughyly unimpressed, and that's how it's been since.
I'm sure at one time it was great, grand even. Now it's really generic, but still better than Boston Pizza.
Things you out to know: Boston Pizza is only good as a sports bar, good beer, and the nachos are great (wings suck). Their meals rank somewhere in between butt reak, and ant plop.
