| - Wow. Unbelievable. Two adjectives that in some instances would denote exceptional and superb experience, but not in this visit, to say the very least.
Went here for dinner tonight and had 6:30 reservations. The smallish restaurant was packed to the gills, a rare occurrence is what I'm told by relatives that accompanied us (they'd never seen more than two tables occupied). Apparently, it was spicy mussel night that they hold every now and then and pulls in a packed house. I know, seemed strange to me too. Ordered a vegetable egg roll appetizer and the plates and sauces were brought out about 10 minutes later. No kidding, 30 minutes later the egg roll had yet to materialize. When we flagged down the waiter to see what was going on since they had brought out the sauces but not the egg roll, he condescendingly told us that sauces are ready, but the egg roll takes time to cook, you see! When the time-consuming egg roll finally arrives, I literally laughed out loud and turned a couple heads at the same time. What arrived was the saddest presentation of a single, tasteless roll of grease.
But wait, there are entrees too! I ordered the kung pao shrimp and my wife got the yin yang tofu. Don't know if the cook confused my order, but the kung pao came out tasting more of a sweet and sour with the emphasis on sweet. The only vegetables were green beans and the occasional mushroom. Unlike any kung pao I've ever had, so, for their sake let's hope they just made the wrong dish. However, it had been an hour and 20 minute wait so I wasn't going to ask for something else. The tofu dish was about as flavorless as plain tofu out of the container would be, and I'm pretty sure that's all it was. The 'dark' part of the yin yang tofu turned out to be the mushiest seitan I've ever encountered.
Oh, but then the dinner theatre part of the night began! At an adjoining table two geriatric couples were sitting and one of the gentlemen couldn't cope with having to wait so long for the shoddy service. He made it clear to everyone around that this was the worst dinner he'd ever had and that when the check came he wasn't even going to tip 75 cents. After an hour of his muttering, the table next to them (also occupied by a geriatric couple) decided it would be best for everyone in the restaurant to start talking back and a shouting match ensued, complete with awkward expletives. Second old man actually gets up from his table and walks over to the other guy threatening to throw down if the first one didn't shut it and leave. Kranky dude's wife finally gets him to back down and they quickly leave the restaurant, leaving the most awkward dinner-ending silence I've ever experienced.
Long story short, food is subpar. Don't go here unless you get excited about the prospect of senior citizen fisticuffs.
