Hubs and I recently joined a few friends for dinner at Dragonfire on a recent Friday night. Our party of 6 sat on the patio which was empty except for one other table. We knew the night was off to bad start when our server took 15 minutes to get our drinks and made three trips rather than waiting and asking everyone what they wanted. Hubs and I ordered
the edamame app. Standard. Not much to say. For dinner, I decided to try the Robata. It seemed a little different than typical japanese food. The server informed us that it was cooked at a very high temperature so the meat was very juicy. I ordered the zucchini, chicken, pork and fried rice. Everything on the Robata menu is a la cart and is individually priced. The price quickly adds up. A few minutes later our server came out and informed me that they were out of the pork. I decided to stick with just chicken and save room for dessert. After quite a long wait, our entrees were brought out individually. I had my dishes but two people at the table had to wait over 5 minutes for there meals. I also quickly realized that we had never received the silverware and napkins we had asked our server for when we first sat down. I guess it didn't matter that I had to wait and stare at my food because half our party didnt even have food to stare at. Overall, the robata was very good. The chicken was juicy and I really enjoyed the sweet chili sauce. The zucchini was also tasty. After finishing our meals, we waited again to have our plates cleared. Our server was then going to present us with the check when I interrupted him and asked for dessert. I ordered the fried bananas with chocolate sauce. They came out fairly quickly but yet again I had nothing to eat it with. Our server was nowhere to be found. I ended up poking them with leftover chop sticks. They were rather slippery and would have been a challenge for even the most skilled chop stick user.
Overall, I would return to Dragonfire solely for the food. Although the service was subpar the food made up for what was lacking for an acceptable rating.
