| - Do let me first begin this review by mentioning that we did not actually dine in the restaurant but had take-out delivered.
I have given this restaurant just two stars because I am judging them by restaurant food standards and not just buy food standards alone, if someone were to have made this meal for me at home I would've thought it was very good and very well crafted, now by restaurant standards it was mundane at best.
We ordered the fried platter which had Coconut shrimp, sweet potato fries, one single crab cake and fried calamari, perhaps this may taste different or fresher in restaurant but I don't think it should make a difference since it's only 40 minutes from the time that you order it.
I had coconut shrimp before and this was not very good at all, it was way too much coconut on it, it overpowered the shrimp which was overcooked and very tough.
The calamari was very hard and rubbery and the fried batter around it was not very good at all, it was not fresh neither was the shrimp coconut.
The only good thing on the platter was the crab cake and unfortunately you just got one of those.
The french fries that came with the meals and the platter were wet, limp and a bit soggy, they're not very good at all, probably one of the worst french fries I've ever had and I had frozen no name brand french fries.
For the meal portion we had ordered the grilled eggplant and zucchini wrap with Greek cheese and the chicken with avocado sandwich.
The wrap was average at best, I mean it wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't outstanding and I would've expected better out of a restaurant making something so simple as a wrap to make it taste exceptional, it was mundane.
The chicken avocado sandwich was also very pedestrian, it wasn't terrible but at the same time wasn't exceptional, if you're going to be ordering a sandwich from a restaurant you expect something that's going to wow you or have something to offer that you couldn't possibly do when you are at home. As a side note it really wasn't a sandwich it was more of a burger, buns were hamburger buns the size was a burger but it was passed off as a sandwich, that's really neither here or there just a note it was a sandwich that it said.
The meals also came with a salad which was obviously the bag of mixed garden salad that was thrown haphazardly into a Styrofoam box with a few sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, again as a side dish salad you don't expect much but this is really minimal effort. I read the other reviews and the majority of them seem to be along the same lines of reasoning where the food really wasn't all that great, they have a massive menu that has a lot of different cultures and cuisines, I figured they should stick to one thing and do that one thing well rather than doing many things average or poorly. They have pad Thai for God sake! Do they realize that there are at least half a dozen pad Thai restaurants within a seven block radius, what's more there's a pad Thai restaurant across the street that is legendary with the Beecher's!
Overall I must say the food was average to poor. I can tell that if you have a bland pallet and you're not looking for anything particularly exciting, spicy, interesting or new this to be a great place to go check out much akin to going to a friends place and having them quickly whip up something from the kitchen. It is nothing special at all I have to say unless you are that bland or boring, I don't recommend this place.
