| - Dinner for two: $160 + tips
(2 appertizers, 1 complimentary salad, 2 soups, 1 entree, 1 dessert, 1 juice, 1 cocktail)
Hmmm...I wonder why there were only 4 yelper reviews! What can I say about 808? The Mai Tai cocktail and appertizers (rock shrimp risotto, crab cakes, and lobster bisque) we ordered were a sure win but the only one entree (special du jour: whole tai snapper...yes, it's fish) and dessert (vanilla souffle) we ordered were most certainly a flop!
The presentation of the whole tai snapper was so impressive that it caught a few attention from our neighbors but it was bland and overcooked! Ahhh...reminder to self: don't judge a book by the cover! As for the dessert, the souffle was sure light and fluffy because all I can taste was eggwhites...and it was undercooked too!
*sigh* That's just disappointing because a meal is not complete without dessert and generally I am anxious and have high anticipation towards the end of the meal because dessert doesn't come until I am through with a good three or four courses before the dessert arrives! *sigh*...for such a nice restaurant but ending on a bad note.
Nice decor, average service, average food.
Three stars for the appertizers, cocktail, and soups.
