| - Just returned from a shockingly mediocre dinner. Am really angry to go to a restaurant that used to enjoy a great reputation, and now has me rethinking of ever returning. I ordered the Poke, and it did not resemble any Poke that I have ever had. Yes, the Ahi was fresh, but it was just slices of ahi tuna with sticky rice and Ponzu sauce.... Not what I anticipated. My husband ordered a hamburger and told the server that if it doesn't come out medium rare, it will go back. It went back 3 times. If you can't properly cook a burger, then don't offer it. I can make a burger perfectly at home, why can't they? That chef should return to cooking class 101 or take a lesson in BBQ to learn the tools that are available to make a simple burger. The fries came out warm and soggy, not hot and crisp like we requested. We order truffle fries and they came out as plain fries. The darling, and lovely manager was mortified by what happened, and she picked up a great part of our tab, but that is not the point. We went out for a simple dinner with friends, and got plain aggravation. The restaurant was not busy like it used to be, so maybe this isn't an isolated incident. Our friends ordered a pasta dish that was luke warm and a salad. Service was not anything to brag about. The manager, as I mentioned before, was the most professional. She apologized numerous times, and Ajira should be commended for her diligence in trying to right a very wrong evening. She tried. The molten chocolate/peanut better dessert was the best thing that came to the table tonite, compliments of Ajira ( I hope the spelling is close)!
