| - The food was good, but I don't know if that is worthy of a great rating.
First of all, you have to find this tucked away place, GPS is probably necessary. But once you walk inside you see a pretty nice layout for this side of town. Once seated they will give you a huge menu. I'm pretty sure our server was new as she recommended the hambugers.....? I asked about the wings next as kind of a joke, but she didn't get it. I went on to ask about the Italian pasta dishes, which she still didn't get, but I quit picking on the menu for a while after that.
At 27.50 a person for the hot pot, there is just no way my mom was going to eat near that amount of food to make it worth while. Plus, there were conflicting messages on how long you had to eat it, some said an 1.5 hours, some said 2 hours, and then on top of that you were charged for excess wasted food. All of this just seemed to complicated and expensive so we went with some an app and 2 entrees.
The food took quite some time. I was asked if I wanted a refill on my water before we even got our apps, I thought that was a little odd, of course I will want something to drink with my food. The edamame came out, with no bowl to put the shells in, so I dirtied up my plate, I guess that was the right call. Then our entrees came out. My mom got the salmon that came with some shrimp, a great deal, and pretty tasty. I got the crab cakes entree which turned out to be just one very small crab cake. Not anywhere close to an entree. I'm glad I took the option to add a signature salad for $3. The crab cake was a little doughy, but not bad, and the sauce for it was excellent.
After eating half of my moms food I was full and eventually was able to ask for the check. For some reason my crab "cakes" were twice the price they were supposed to be. I brought this to the attention of our server and she said she'd have to go talk to somebody. She came back and told us it was because of the salad and we kind of went back and forth for a while. It was pretty weird, she kept saying it was a $3 up charge for the salad, even though we were being overcharged by $9. I kept having to try and teach this girl basic math until I think she finally got it. I still tipped her well, even after all that.
I did see some others with hot pots, and the food looked solid. I just don't think this expensive all you can eat fashion is going to work on this side of town. If it was a basic one for $19.95 and you could add the expensive crab and such for a higher cost it might work out better. Or what most hot pot places I've been to do is charge like $8-10 for the broth and then you just a la carte the meat and veggies. It would probably work out to more than $27.50 for the people who just came to stuff their face and lighter eaters would still be patrons. I don't know, not my restaurant. If I'm super hungry one day, I'll probably come back and try it, but not until then.
