| - Went here not expecting much because of the reviews. And overall it was OK, but there is plenty of room for improvement. It's a diner/bar and has kind of a funky or quirky feel.
In fact, it reminds me a lot of the Continental in Philadelphia. And maybe that's what they were going for, but if that's the case, maybe they need to make a roadtrip back, because they just don't compare.
On to the food. We ordered the crab and shrimp fondue. It was great! Would definitely recommend.
For my main dish, I ordered the veggie and tofu stir fry. Pretty good, nothing spectacular though.
Furthermore, we ordered the cinnamon donuts for dessert. Not bad, but the centers were extremely doughy, and probably not cooked. However, they were so tasty, I didn't feel like complaining.
As I hinted to earlier, this place needs to go back to the Continental in Philly and take some more detailed notes. Something great I could see at this place is breakfast all day. But not just any breakfast, more of gourmet twist to pancakes, bacon and eggs.
They need more of a signature to this place as well. Unlike the decor/ambience of the place, there's nothing quirky, fun or inventive about the food. I really want to become a fan of this establishment, but until they make some changes with the menu and come through with their true potential, I doubt I'll be back.
