| - Living near by, my family and I eat/drink at Lotus regularly. Don't be turned off by the fact that it is located in a strip mall. Once inside, the atmosphere is inviting.....modern, comfortable decor that doesn't try too hard, a great place for a date, drinks with friends, or dinner.
Let's start with drinks: Lotus tends to hire very good bartenders, and I have rarely had a drink here that wasn't great. I really enjoy the Grand Margarita, and the Tai Boxer (after dinner). My husband enjoys their wide variety and ever-changing selection of beers. I have also had great mojitos and dirty martinis.
Food: excellent, excellent, excellent. Great sushi, great shrimp and grits, fabulous flatbread pizzas, best ever watermelon salad. The menu changes seasonally, and I have never had anything that wasn't great. Every single soup of the day I have tried has been expertly prepared and flavorful. I have tried most of the apps and enjoyed them all. Caesar salad with anchovies is terrific as is the iceberg wedge salad.
Service: This is my only negative point. The service at Lotus is GREAT sometimes and below average other times. If I didn't enjoy the place so much I would not tolerate the level of service. The wait staff is always friendly and hard-working. It is obvious it is an issue of understaffing by management.
All in all, Lotus is one of my favorite restaurants!
