| - Interesting seeing that this place is a 4 star restaurant. I came here blind, so without looking at any reviews, I came in thinking I was extremely under dressed. Oh well, you know how I do it.
So getting seated pretty quickly, as this place was pretty empty for the day that we were eating, everything seemed pretty copacetic. (I didn't know how to spell that word! Learning new things everyday...) The service was friendly, and people there were nice, oh, southern hospitality what do you expect?
Let's get straight to the food. I ordered the Seattle Style Salmon. Complete letdown. You must be wondering, why this place isn't a one star, well because of service and the "okay" lobster bisque. Okay, let's get to my reasoning.
Seattle Style Salmon. $22. [On the menu as the day review was released] And what you get is a huge plate, with less than a bowl of rice and a flat piece of salmon. When I say flat, I mean flat. I know the picture doesn't really highlight how outrageous it was, because I had to do some photo magic to make it look better than it was. So yes, small piece of salmon and some rice. The rest of the plate was empty.
The first thought: "Damn, that's a big plate" followed by "I think they used the wrong plate" and ending "$22 though?" After coming to this restaurant, I just shake my head in sadness, because good Chinese food is $13-15 and that's too "expensive", except it can feed 2-3 people. Where in comparison, you can spend $22 on a small thin piece of salmon that's lightly flavored with some rice and nod in approval.
All I'm saying is maybe this restaurant deserves 4 stars, but for that entree, um, no thanks. Hey, maybe this place is a lunch place, as the reviews would suggest that this place is packed. Not going to lie, some of their other dishes look pretty tasty.
If I were to come back, I would try the ribs out. Or their Lobster Roll. Who knows, maybe next time they'll get a 4 star review from me, but this meal no way.
