| - Ok. So, we were pretty much just tired and hungry when we arrived last night and didn't want to venture out far from our room for dinner, so we strolled into Woo. Like many other reviewers state, the place was pretty empty, though, it was Wednesday night, so I wasn't all that alarmed.
I was seriously not expecting much at all. For starters, our waiter was more than a touch strange, weird vibe coming off that one for sure. The decor was lacking and the menu appeared to be priced highly for what we'd seen of the place so far. Then, THEN, our drinks arrived. I very highly recommend the amazingness that is the Woo-Tini. Wonderfully sweet and tart and fresh tasting. The menu is a little weird, it's pretty much filled with shared plates. We chose the Tuna Tartare which was fantastic, the escargot which was extraordinary. We love Thai escargot and this surpassed our best Thai escargot experience. The highlight of the night, for sure. We also did the black cod miso which was very good, but a touch disappointing considering it was a $20 dish. The other highlight of the night was the salt and pepper calamari. Wow. It was unlike any other salt and pepper anything I have consumed. The portions are pretty small for sharing so we ended having the bread pudding dessert as well, which was also outstanding. The passion fruit sorbet was extremely tart, which isn't my thing, but my husband really loved it.
We were so pleasantly surprised by the flavors and freshness of each plate! We came in here absolutely starving, ravenous. Not exactly the best option for our hunger level, but we would absolutely come back here... The price is way WAY to high for 5 stars, but based on quality and taste, I do have to go with 4. Our food experience was definitley 5 stars.
