| - This Place earns a solid 5 stars on food, 3 stars on atmosphere, and 4 stars on service, so I'm giving it 4 stars...and here are the details.
We went late on a wednesday for the AYCE Tapas, the special is pretty hard to beat, you can have anything from their menu, you get to order 2 plates at a time and once you finish, you can order 2 more, however if there is anything left uneaten you have to pay menu price for the items (like many AYCE sushi places).
The atmosphere is pretty good, it's dark and trendy, my major complaint was that the music was really really loud, and the selection sucked, in a place like Hard Rock with a solid music selection, the techno/pop crap they were playing at eleventy billion decibels was out of place.
My only major complaint with the service is that longer we were seated, the longer it took to bring out our food, I don't know what was going on but our first plates came out almost immediatley, however with each passing order it seemed like it took longer.
I would strongly recommend bringing a friend so you can try a lot more food, share some bites and eat your way through most of the menu.
Beer Cheese Dip- (4th Fav) This was our first plate, the dip tasted a lot like the beer cheese you get from the store, but had bacon in it, the pretzel sticks were soft and chewey but could have used a little more salt, however it was a great starter
Smalls Balls- (2nd Fav) One of my favorite items on the menu, it reminds me a lot of Arancini, risotto, short ribs, and Parmesan. Not as rich as Arancinis I've had before, which was actually a good thing, I will be having these again.
High Rollerz- (3rd Fav) Smoked Mozzarella, Serrano Ham, and Pesto, served in taquito style rolls. You can really taste the Serrano ham and the smoked mozzarella, A great small bite, a little crispy in the wrapper, but all in all really good.
Thanksgiving Dinner Sliders- First off thier "sliders" are more closer to a small hamburger than a slider per say. They are bigger than your average slider and come 2 to an order. I was thinking this would be like a bobby from capriotti's however it was quite different, the first bite was mainly over powered by butter that was served on them, the rest of it tasted like a turkey burger covered in sage, it was good, but I couldn't taste the cranberries or the stuffing.
Jack and Coke- (my Fav) no this isn't the drink, it's skewered beef that has been marinated in a combo of Jack and Coke, it thought it sounded a little odd, but it was hands down the best thing I ate, just enough seasoning from the marinade but not too much to over power the delicious meat.
Pizza Pops- (least Fav) I was really looking forward to this item, imagine if a muffin and a pizza roll had a baby, what could be wrong??? Well pretty much everything was. The muffin was doughy, the "toppings" were decent but not great, the marinara served on the side was Ice Cold, I was really disappointed in these, possibly me least favorite item of the evening.
Surf and Turf- Lobster and Filet on a skewer, great idea, vanilla butter sauce...not so much, it was odd eating a nice tender piece of filet and having the overwhelming taste of vanilla in your mouth, it worked better with the lobster, but was still an odd combo, may work for some people, not so much for me.
Mac and Cheese Daddy- Sliders served with Fried Mac and Cheese on them. Balls of deep fried mac and cheese served on a slider bun with tomato and arugula. I love sliders and I love any thing deep fried, however these were just carb overload, I really liked the idea, but the execution was missing something.
Chicken and Waffles- Fried chicken drummettes, maple glazed waffle fries, and southern style white gravy. The Waffle fries were amazing, the maple glaze and the saltiness of the fries worked well together, I really like them. The chicken was good, a tad too crispy for me, but none the less still good, and when dunked in the gravy got an added pepper flavor that made it even better.
Tuna Sashimi- I am not really a huge Sashimi fan, but this was really good, the tuna was fresh, and the slice was just the right size. The sauce was flavorful and not over powering. Not the world's greatest but still a very solid offering.
Shorty- Braised short ribs, there were really good, 3 small slices of perfectly seasoned short ribs. Meaty and delicious.
Tempura Fried Green Beans- It's hard to mess this up, crispy and delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the Thai Chile sauce accompaniment.
Meaty Balls- Good meatballs, a little dry but still really good.
Fish Tacos- I didn't try these, my buddy liked them.
So Beefy- These were under the beef menu, but were sliders. Good slice of filet and Pancetta, I ate it outside of the bun, and liked it, didn't really work as a slider.
Grilled PB&J- Chunky PB :(, but still a good end to the meal.
sorry to cut the last reviews short, but I was hitting the character limit...Didn't know yelp had one
