| - Came here for Christmas dinner with my family and I must say I as very disappointed.
We had 6 people, so went with the $588 lobster and crab meal for 6 servings.
The menu stated the Alaskan King crab is planned for 7 lbs, and the lobster 6 lbs. Turns out the crab ended up being 8.6 lbs, and the lobster was 6.5 lbs - they claimed that it was the smallest they could fine. Keep in mind, the crab was an extra $48 per lb, and the lobster was around an extra $20.
The $588 6 serving meal included:
Sashimi platter - there was toro and hamachi so that was interesting. The sashimi was good, fresh.
Alaskan King Crab split in 2 servings.
The big thick legs were steamed in truffle and garlic, served with bean curd egg tofu. Although the legs were topped with truffle and garlic, there wasn't much flavor added to it and tasted slightly bland. The small legs were fried, supposed to be in a chinese "Bei Fung Tong" style which is garlic chili but it didn't taste spicy at all. I preferred the flavors from the steamed style. One thing I didn't like was there seemed to be an extra skin layer between the crab meat and shell which was slightly chewy. Not sure if it was like that because the crab was too large, but the other times I've had Alaskan King Crab I've never tasted this part.
Stir Fried Lobster in garlic sauce - the sauce was very thick and slightly too salty. Between the lobster and the crab, lobster was my least favorite. There was a lot of meat in the lobster though.
Steamed sea bass - the fish was served in pieces with all the bones taken out, but some of the bones were not taken out properly so it was was annoying as there were a lot of little bones stuck in each piece. The fish was also slightly overdone and tasteless - completely relied on the soy sauce.
Porridge (rice in soup) made from the King Crab roe. There were a lot of other ingredients such as shrimp and vegetables making the porridge very flavorful. This was one of the better dishes of the night.
For dessert they served a chinese red bean and purple rice sweet soup which was very watered down, wasn't really sweet at all. They also served us a small fruit platter which was ridiculous. It came with a bunch of grapes, 2 pieces of peeled orange and 1 piece of pineapple with part of the skin still stuck on, all which was served on quite a big plate so it looked like leftovers. Looked like a dog's breakfast, what a joke.
This place felt like a rip off. I expected it to be expensive since it seemed to be a more upscale version of "Fisherman Lobster Clubhouse" but at that price I would expect to have better service. Understanding it was the Holidays so they were under staffed, but the servers that were working didn't seem to care at all and just kept delegating the task to another server. No one came to change our plates, we had to ask multiple times for people to fill our tea or bring us napkins.
The food ok, but the service was bad and not worth the price. Definitely won't be coming back.
