| - Meh is the way I can describe this visit.
We had a reservation for 5:30p on a Friday but the place was pretty empty (and it was during their happy hour).
The happy hour deals for food weren't that impressive, but we ordered the fries and some drinks. I did get the wrong drink at first, but our waiter swapped it quick after I let him know. The fries were okay, we didn't end up finishing them.
For dinner, we ordered:
*Sauteed Veggie Udon: when you think udon, you think broth but this more like stir fry with noodles. It tasted pretty good but was fairly plain. It would have been nice it tofu or something was added to make it feel more like a meal.
*Salmon Poke: our waiter let us know not to expect a full poke bowl, it would be more classic. Just poke and chips. It tasted similar what we had in Hawaii - fresh and flavorful. It wasn't drenched in sesame oil which was nice for my taste.
*We got two rolls and added things to them. It was weird you're given a basic roll and then have the options to add onto them. Not used to that, but it wasn't bad. You're able to add things like jalapeƱos, avocados, tempura flakes, etc for additional $.
When I got the bill, I was pretty disappointed. So much money was spent for a meal that left us unimpressed and still kind of hungry. The happy hour deals didn't really help either. I feel like Tavernakaya has the potential to be really good but just falls flat right now.
