| - My squad and I visited this restaurant for the first time on Thursday night. We all thought that the environment and decor was very fitting for a girl's night out. If you don't look outside into the Times Square parking lot, you'd think you're dining downtown. Ambient lighting, well thought out interior design with sophisticated gold accents around the space. I give the environment a score of 4/5.
I called during the day to make a reservation for that evening but was told that they only allow walk-ins. And the staff whom I spoke to wasn't able to tell me whether or not they'd be busy in the evening either. So we thought we'd try our our luck. The place wasn't packed but almost all tables were occupied. We got seated at the booth off to the side which could accommodate all 5 of us comfortably.
Service:
I felt that the staff were a bit inexperienced in a few areas and could need some training. When some of our girls arrived to the seat, the staff promptly approached us to see if we were ready to order. It would be nice if they could allow us to spend some time to settle in and take a look at their menu first. That happened twice. When we placed our orders for dinner, the staff told us we could keep the dessert menu so we could take a look at the dessert. This wasn't a big deal but as an upscale restaurant, this step happens after when dinners are done and not while waiting for dinner to arrive. Staff were all very friendly and approachable. Although a few didn't seem like they could speak English, so communicating required some patience. When we asked to split our bills, it got a bit complicated and took a while before our server could get it right. She didn't manage to separate our meals onto different receipts but she took the effort to help us calculate the amount per person while splitting for a shared item. So, overall, I thought the service was good just lacking some experience, which was understandable since they were quite new. 3.5/5
Food:
The 48 hr short ribs donburi was tasty. The ribs were well marinated and super tender. The spicy drunken chicken was very crispy and had a nice kick to it but there were only 4 pieces. Their souffle pancakes were very fluffy, and light in texture. I've never had souffle pancakes this soft before so it felt like I didn't even put anything in my belly. The souffle pancakes also came with a cup of their house made Iron Goddess soft serve. It was delicious! The nuts were a nice added touch. Overall, I thought the food was decent but the portion was a bit small. It might be tough to fill up a grown man but for ladies' night, it was fine 3.5/5
We got a 10% discount and free iron Goddess soft serve during their soft opening :)
