| - In one word our evening at this restaurant was : dissapointing
Mind you, the food was not bad. However, we looked at the menu online and there were many things we wanted to try. However, when we got there, they said their menu is cut in about half during the summer (wish they would have said this on their website). the two appetizers we wanted to try - yellowfin tuna lettuce wraps and smoked salmon - were unavailable. In addtion, the pistachio encrusted salmon was unavailable durign the summer.
We ordered some salads...i had iceberg wedge which was fine, but honestly, better (any way bigger) at any steakhouse. For entree I had a fish called barramundi. It tasted fine (but nothong special), and it cost 27$ and came with nothing of subtstance except for some avodacdo on top. Even worse, there is not even an option to order any sides!
Another person in my reservation had the filet mignon (36$). It looked pathetic. He ordered it med rare and it came med well. I woulda sent it back but he is too nice. Also so small, maybe 6 oz at best. He said it was dry and lacked flavor as well (what do you expect when you serve a super thin filet mignon med well).
Lastly, we ordered 2 entrees to share, and they brought it out on seperate plates which is nice. But, without mentioning anything when we told the waiter that we wanted to share the entrees, they added $5 to each entree we split! Our bill for 5 people was over 200$ (4 of us and 1 child) and we ordered a bottle of wine, and they are nickel and diming us for 5 freakin dollars? What a joke. We complained, and they took the 10$ off the bill for the 2 shared entrees, and decided to add gratuity onto the bill instead, which was fine since the service was pretty good (except for failing to tell us taht it cost money to share a meal, when we would have been perfectly fine just asking for an extra plate).
Also had 2 desserts, 10$ each, which were OK but nothing special.
All in all, its a romantic place with good service. However, food is ridicuously overpriced. They act like its some super tasty/fancy gourmet food, but in reaiity, the fish is only slightly above average, the steak was terrible, and the portions were ridiculously small.
