| - I met several friends here for lunch and ordered the ahi tuna salad. After studying the menu, I was torn between the ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna appetizer that comes with a coleslaw. I read yelp reviews dealing with both and decided on the salad. I was disappointed after all the hype, with several reviewers saying it was their favorite. It was too sweet for my tastes, and there must have been less than 1 tablespoon each of mango and avocado. It was basically mixed greens lettuce, with a tiny bit of mango and avocado, a dressing that was much too sweet, and a few poppy seeds sprinkled in with ahi on the side. The ahi tuna was good, but not exceptional enough to justify the price.
It's not that it was gross, necessarily, just that I expected something more for the price. I'd be willing to pay about $8 for this salad, but not $16. Some reviewers complained about the quantity of lettuce and tuna...I thought there was plenty of both, but just that it was sort of a bland, flavorless, overly sweet salad.
I was not impressed with the rolls that came with the meal, either. They were dense, like a muffin should be, not light and fluffy, and they were either way too sweet, or the butter that was served with them was honey butter.
The service was really good, though -- someone said the waiters were like ninjas, there when you needed them, but disappearing immediately afterwards. We left an extra-large tip. Also, it was pretty quiet out on the terrace, which was perfect for our large group.
