| - I agree with the review about being "under-whelmed." We ordered the lobster bites, as an appetizer which were good. For dinner one of us had the seared scallops in champagne sauce, the other had the coconut shirmp. The seared scallops were barely seared, I do a better job at home. It was pretty clear they were made in a hurry (not a hot enough pan) and reduction sauce was not reduced AT ALL. It was a runny mess. Both came with sides of green beans - we were trying to figure out if they were over-cooked crisp-tender or undercooked fully cooked beans!! I love green beans, again, I could cook them better. The coconut shrimp was OK, but not like I've had the in past. In the past they dipped the shrimp and then rolled them in coconut, so it was crunchy coconut on the outside. This time it looks like the coconut was in the batter. ICK. Needless to say, there wasn't much identifiable coconut, but a lot of batter. The dipping sauce was very good though. Overall, meh. I think they're going on their past reputation. I found the food out of date and rather icky. My dining partners mashed potatoes were really lumpy too. Meh. There is better to be had for the money. Also we could see the food pick up area from where we were sitting....ripped up paneling and what liked a dirty area. Not impressive. Basically, it's clear that no one is paying attention to the small details here. NO one. Details can make or break a place. I give this place about 4 more years and they'll be gone unless they seriously clean up and update their cooks.
