This was a great recipe! I made it for a party and everyone loved it. The mussels were tender and flavorful, and the broth was perfect for dipping bread.

Not bad! The mussels were cooked well and the broth was flavorful, but I found the dish to be a bit too salty for my taste.

The mussels were a bit gritty, but the broth was delicious. I'll try rinsing the mussels more thoroughly next time.

This was my first time making steamed mussels and it was a success! The recipe was easy to follow and the mussels turned out great. I served them with crusty bread and a glass of white wine, and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The mussels are always tender and juicy, and the broth is packed with flavor. It's a great dish for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal.
