| - Living in the East end, I knew I had to check this place out. We came here for Summerlicious the other day, but unfortunately it's over-rated.
Firstly, the service is great. We were seated quickly to our reserved table and greeted with water.
To start, we order the kalbi ribs and shrimp tostada. Three pieces of kalbi came out on a sizziling plate and I was consumed by the smoke. The ribs ended up a little dry since I couldn't see my plate and all I could taste was burned/burnt soy sauce. Not a great marinade for the ribs.
The shrimp tosada was a bit better. Refreshing shrimp and avocado topped on a fried...thing, I guess. It was difficult to share and eat, but it was good.
For the mains, I got the halibut tacos and my fiance ordered the ribs. I enjoyed the tacos but I found them a bit small. I was quite hungry afterwards, but I think if the tacos came with a side, say fries, I would be fine. I'm not much a rib person, but my fiance liked them. He got 6 ribs where the table near us only got 4 ribs. The cheddar biscuit and coleslaw were really good.
What disappointed me the most was the dessert. I was so looking forward to my New Yorker Chipwich and the Brownie Sundae but none of them really delivered. I assumed the cookie part of my chipwich would be warm, but both cookies were cold, hard and the ice cream just made them colder and harder.
The brownie sundae consisted of a two bite brownie at the bottom, ice cream and whipped cream. A good combination but one you can make at home.
That's all. I don't know. Maybe they didn't impress me solely on their Summerlicious menu. I've heard good things about their brunch and hooch hour, but I'm hesitant to give this place another shot.
