| - Awesome Asian Fusion!
Headed here with the lovely Miss Cara L while I was in town helping with a Yelp party and I'm soooo happy we made a priority to get here.
There were way more menu items than I anticipated, which ultimately was a good thing, but at the time was bad because it took me what seemed like hours to make a decision! After bugging our server with dozens of questions - who notably was visibly annoyed even though we were two of maybe six people total in the restaurant... the only thing I didn't like about this place - I finally decided I HAD to have the papaya salad and the scallops, which were on the seasonal menu.
People - this food is no joke! Tons of complex flavors, fresh ingredients, inspiring combinations. Wowza! Why wasn't this place open when I lived in Cleveland!?! Wah!
The papaya salad was crisp, lightly dressed and made the PERFECT starter for my scallops - but really for anything on that menu. Really! I ate every bite.
The scallops were plump and perfectly seared and the bed of sweet mashed potatoes made the perfect side dish.
I inhaled my food in an unheard of record time and lucky for me my dinner parter did not judge, and in fact, also inhaled hers just as quickly! A little more gracefully though perhaps.
Dessert was the real treat, literally - fried ice cream... AKA ICE CREAM IN A DONUT! Holy hell! Now we've hit new heights of mouthgasm. I was entirely too full to pull any other substance in my body but I could not stop moving spoonfuls full of this perfect dessert from the plate to my mouth.
Besides our awkward and kinda jerk of a server, and the fact that their ladies restroom wasn't functioning so I had to pee in a toilet next to a urinal in the men's room, this place is top notch! The food, the food, the food!
