| - 2.5 stars rounding down to 2..
The only thing that stood-out me here was the ambience..
Service was super slow on a Sunday evening, the place was filled with bus boys but under-staffed with waiters and waitresses..
For a table of 4, we ordered a guacamole with corn-chips, braised-lamb shoulder, deep-fried cod taco, lobster and shrimp taco, and some sort of guac- seafood dish..
The guac is definitely the highlight of the food!! Pretty much a must have..
I was going have a catch of the day grilled in banana leaf.. but it was sold out, insisting on trying something from the chef recommended section, I went with the braised lamb shoulder.. for about $15... lamb shoulder was dry, stale, and chewy.... it also didn't have any lamp flavour.. as it didn't have any fattiness to the meat..probably about 6oz in total..
Cod taco didn't work out either..$20 for 4 mini tacos.. the deep-fried cod reminded me of cheap frozen "high liner" fillets from the frozen section at a no frills supermarket... the soft taco flour was thick and tasteless..
Now that I think about it, seems like nothing we ordered was actually chef made except for the guac which was made right in-front of you by the server.
Place had really nice patio, a nice fire pit, nice chairs and setting, professional looking team, but shitty food..
