| - I went to Ko'Sin for restaurant week. The resort is located in a remote area off of 202 & 10 - the location/setting is solid, that's for sure. Knowing this, I requested a table with a view as I made the reservation. The restaurant was more or less empty when we were sat. A few minutes later, an older couple exuding wealth and affluence walked in and were sat right next to us, directly in front of the window. "Best seat in the house - enjoy," remarked the hostess. Gee, thanks.
The selections were decent, but nothing amazing - we had the salmon and gnocchi, and they were both mediocre. Nothing special, quite bland to be more specific. Same with the appetizers. What was amazing, however, was the "Elvis" - this was a treat: Peanut Butter Blondie/ Roasted Banana Ice Cream/ Milk Chocolate with Crispy Bacon Shards. I figured I might as well honor the namesake and lick the plate clean, which I did, minus the yellow paint that seemed to have been sprayed on with some fancy confectioners air brush (no idea if such thing exists - making it up). I really hope this becomes a permanent fixture on the menu, because I'd totally go back just to have it again.
During the course of the meal - one of the servers spilled a drink on me. I was wearing a white shirt. He apologized profusely, and grabbed me a towel to dry myself off. I wasn't expecting a handout or some kind of a comp. considering the menu is already set quite reasonably, but I was surprised that I wasn't even offered one. When I dine at finer establishments, I'm normally offered free dry cleaning or an appetizer/drink of choice. Not the case. I don't think the server even elevated the issue to anyone - am I weird for having expected a customary table touch?
May return to check out the resort for a weekend, but I will not be returning to the restaurant.
