| - This place is definitely still working out some kinks.
The bar area is awesome - great view of the city, energetic atmosphere, and the mixed drinks are creative and tasty. I had the Spicy Charlotte and it was SO GOOD! Not to sweet and ends with a kick. For our appetizers we had the seared ahi tuna and vietnamese spring rolls. The tuna was good quality, and prepared as expected; however, the vietnamese spring rolls were not quite what I had in mind. They had curry flavoring which isn't what I would consider a traditional vietnamese spring roll - even though I was surprised, and they were incredibly spicy, they were also very good. For my dinner, I had the halibut. This dish was less than impressive. I didn't think the grapefruit/pickled fennel/arugula/potato/halibut combo was all that pleasing. I left most of my dry halibut and dry potatoes on the plate. Finally, we opted for the "special" for dessert which was chocolate chip donut holes; and, I ordered one of their four port options. Unfortunately, the server came back and indicated that only the most expensive one of the four ports were still available, so I opted out of that... Then, he came back and let us know that they were out of donut holes. It was a Monday night, 9:30PM, house made donut holes - gone. So, we opted out of that... The server was very apologetic, he had only been there for three weeks. However, he's not likely to stick around if he has customers trying to buy things from him, but the kitchen and bar areas aren't prepared to support their menu.
