| - This place has honestly taught me to never fall for a restaurant with barely 20 reviews, especially when 95% of them are all five stars, which is really hard to come by in the Yelp world unless you're friends with the owners or something.
Walked into the establishment and wasn't sure if it was open since no one acknowledged our presence. It wasn't until we asked the girl at the hostess stand if we had to sit ourselves, which was odd since there was only one other table sitting inside the restaurant around 6pm with more than five people on the floor. From that moment on, we had this weird vibe about the place knowing that the staff wasn't sure what they were doing, or had any knowledge when it comes to any type of customer service.
Next, let's talk about food. This place offers a variety of things and I like that. I mean, it's kind of what you would expect at a tapas restaurant, right? Reviewed the pictures on Yelp to double check what we wanted and decided to go with these:
Cock-A-Waffle: We honestly lowered our expectations since we're jaded with this famous concept from Roscoe's in Los Angeles but honestly, it was bland, dry and flaky. The fried chicken? Kind of similar to the fried chicken packs you could find in the deli section at Food-4-Less. The waffles? It was hard and tough. I had to drizzle my maple syrup all over the plate to soften it up a little then finally decided to call that my dessert.
Elote: On the menu it says that the corn are grilled, which we didn't even taste at all. It tastes as if they were just boiled while hiding that fact with random sauces and garnishes. That would have been ok if they didn't mention that they were grilled on the menu. But seriously, to mess up corn says a lot about a restaurant.
Dragon Claws: Their version of a Japanese popper. Probably the best thing that we've had there but doesn't even compare to the ones you'll find at any sushi restaurant.
We lost hope in this place and didn't remember the names of the last two items that we ordered. One was the bite-sized lasagna dish, served on top of a circular skillet plate and the other was similar to a steak bruschetta. Both were nothing special. Came to this place VERY hungry so you would think we would enjoy any kind of food but it turned out to be the exact opposite. Beverage glasses were thin and narrow so we didn't even get full off of water either and THAT was ok. We just wanted to leave to make up our experience with a better dinner somewhere else.
Maybe I'll give this restaurant another shot next year. Maybe then they'll finally decide to invest in an Aloha System so it doesn't take ten minutes to receive your check and ten minutes to process it (with a card). Maybe their staff will be better trained and knowledgeable about the menu as well so they won't have to disappear every now and then every time we would ask a question about a plate. Or maybe when this place has more than 100 reviews I'll reconsider this place again. Until then, I won't be coming back.
