| - I came here for Summerlicious since I previously had good experiences at this restaurant ($25 for dinner).
For starter, we all ordered the crispy calamari with caramelized peanuts, pineapple, mango, and shredded vegetables. There weren't a lot of calamari but the veggies were refreshing, and overall it was very appetizing.
Then there was a long gap before our main course arrived. I ordered the caramalized eggplant with miso, ginger, squash, tofu, and soy vinaigrette. The soy vinaigrette was way too salty and overwhelmed my palate. To me, this wasn't a very successful fusion dish. My bf got the burger, which wasn't as good as I remember it to be when I ordered it a la carte. The best choice was definitely the herb roasted chicken breast with smoked potato, corn, and tomato ragout. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy.
For dessert, I had strawberries & cream with shortbread. It was an elevated version of a strawberry sundae. Yum! The other desserts were not nearly as good. I was told that the donut was underwhelming, and the passion fruit parfait was a little too sour for my taste.
Overall, I thought my a la carte experience here was a lot better, and I probably would not come back for Summerlicious.
