After all the raving I had heard about this place, my fiancée and I finally used a Groupon as a motivation to try it out.
Unfortunately, our experience was anything but memorable and we will never be returning here again. Too bad because it is right at our doorstep and we really wanted to enjoy it here.
The staff was nice and very accommodating, my fiancée had some flowers delivered and they had them nicely set up on the table but the food is what ruined it for both of us.
I ordered the pork shoulder which I assumed would taste more like a fall of the bone kind of pork and my fiancée ordered the fish. His fish was average, nothing to write home about and better than my pork, which was horrible.
I don't think I have ever been so put off by a meal in a restaurant before. The pork looked more like pork loin which was cut into medallions and the meat was very rubbery and stringy, it looked and tasted undercooked. It also had a very strong flavour which I have never tasted in pork before, it tasted stale, definitely not fresh.
The pork came in a sauce which helped mask the horrible flavour of the meat, when I ran out of the sauce, I could no longer take another bite and was swallowing more than chewing just to get it over with.
I would have complained but my fiancé insisted we just pay our bill and leave. I really regret this but when we started sharing our bad experience we heard the same from other people about the oysters not being fresh.
