| - This place is located in Boca Park right next to The Cheesecake Factory, it has outside seatings, a lounge/bar area, tables along the wall and more tables in the back, behind the big grill in the middle.
Came here for the first time today, I liked the concept and thought it was interesting. First off, our waitress was very friendly, very attentive, and very helpful with the menu. She greeted us as soon as we were sat, got us water, and explained the menu to us. Our drinks were constantly refilled, dirty plates were instantly picked up, service was on point.
We ordered the Mai Ti Tai that was served in a Tiki cup, this drink was very tasty. We also shared: Truffle fries, Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Steak Tartar. The fries and wrap were delicious, the steak tartar was bland and was nothing special. The presentation of these dishes were perfect, the dishes came out looking very fancy and delicious.
The main entree is the problem. So the idea is that you choose your meat or seafood, a sauce, and your veggies and choice of rice or noodles or pasta (pretty much the same concept as Genghis Grill). I thought that the base (rice, pasta or noodles) will be served separately, and the meat and veggies will be cooked together and served on the side. They stir-fried everything together! I ordered the Filet Mignon with peppercorn sauce and a few different veggies, this came out to be a big wet mess. While their appetizers were presented so beautifully, the entree were simply scooped up from the grill and thrown on the plate, you can clearly see there was no effort on the presentation of the main dish. The sauce was very bland, could barely taste anything. There was too much sauce on the dish so the entire plate was very wet. Mine was missing three veggies that I asked for (baby bok choy, broccoli, and cauliflower) and my friend's dish was missing cauliflower and broccoli, we asked for it and the veggies were brought to us on a separate plate. However, the broccoli and cauliflower were mashed up and served mixed together instead of being served as a whole (I posted pics)...this was disgusting. The mixture was bland and watery..and since it was not mixed with the rest of the ingredients its was just gross.
Disclaimer!!! The manager stopped by and apologized for the veggies being left out, which was not a big deal to us. We simply asked for it and left it alone. At the end of our meal, the manager brought out 3 desserts, which was so unnecessary since it was not a big deal. But this was very kind of them to give us the desserts.
When we asked for our check, we were told that the desserts were rang in but was then comped off at the bottom. When the waitress split our checks for us, we were charged for the dessert. We probably waited an extra 10 minutes for the manager to correct the checks. They then gave each of us a coupon for 2 free drinks the next time to stop by.
I would definitely come back to this place because the drink was really good and the appetizers were delicious, also service was very nice, they also have happy hour. They are still new so the mistakes in service are understandable, not a big deal at all. BUT I do not like their entrees! They should probably just serve the rice and noodles on the side, or give that as an option instead of everything being mixed together. I can't comment on how my friends' felt about their dishes, but neither one of us finished our meal. The entree was a big disappointment.
