| - My colleague and I decided to lunch at Akco Lounge after a last minute lunch reservation snafu at another restaurant. Luckily, it wasn't terribly busy and we were seated right away.
Our server was friendly and efficient, though there was a bit of a "situation" near the end, but more on that later.
We ordered endamame, California rolls and a grilled scallop with mango salad. All three dishes were delicious, though the portion size for the California roll was a bit small. The scallops (2 large scallops) were perfectly grilled and the mango salad, which wasn't really a mango salad, but rather a few slivers of mango and cucumber thrown onto a small bed of mixed greens, was perfectly dressed with just a drizzle of a sweet citrus dressing.
Our total bill for the 2 appetizers and California roll was $33 including tip.
Of note, we were in a bit of a hurry to pay our bill as my colleague had a 1pm meeting, so we handed our server a credit card and asked her to process our bill. She came back to our area with a large platter of food for the table behind us, along with our bill. However, after having served the table their food, our server opened up the billfold to check before handing us our bill, only to discover that the credit card was gone...after a few frantic minutes of servers racing around the restaurant looking under tables and plates to try and locate the missing credit card, the table behind us announced to our server that they had located the credit card under their table. It must have fallen out of the billfold while she was dropping off their food.
Anyway, crisis averted. All in all a good experience. Food was ok, price was a little on the high side, but it is lunch downtown.
**I would like to note that I do order take-out from them quite often...best to call well in advance of pick up, and make sure you check your order before leaving, as they've forgotten to include items on more than one occasion.
