| - Tried for a second time after a dismal first visit. To be fair, the first visit was when the restaurant was new. This time, I found the ambience comfortable, staff friendly. We ordered the spinach dip for an appetizer, my husband and I ordered a salad "to start" (key words) and a pizza. Our companions each ordered the halibut with a side of vegetables and a salad "to start". Our waitress clarified that they each wanted the halibut dish. Well, first we received the side of vegetables (about 15 minutes before the appetizer)?? Then we received the spinach dip. After a few minutes, all of the food came to the table at once. We indicated that we had wanted to start with our salads, not the veggies. They took the pizza, two halibuts and veggies (veggies by now had been sitting on the table for 30 minutes - back to the kitchen, presumably to put under the heat lamp). The salad was fresh and tasty. However, when the food came back, as expected, the halibut was completely dried out. Our companion did state that it had a nice flavor. Please note, however, when the food came back, there was only one halibut. We contacted the waitress who seem befuddled as to what had happened to our other halibut. Short story, they had to remake the halibut and our companion ended up eating by himself. Too bad they haven't gotten their kitchen timing down. Our pizza was soggy and greasy as it too had sat under the heat lamp. I will say, that I have found lately, that it is imperative as a diner than you indicate your preference to eat your starter before the actual meal. Many restaurants these days tend to bring all of the food out at once, which I do not enjoy as it makes you feel rushed. Given the flavor, I'm hoping Pomelo can somehow get on track.
