The atmosphere in the restaurant is excellent. Perfect place for a night out and the view is great. The menu, yelp and all these reviews definitely got our hopes up too high. For the price and the atmosphere we expected the food to live up to it. Items we ordered were the braised short ribs, the bouillabase, the baked crab roll, shrimp and walnut salad, hamachi kama, green tea creme brulee, and also the nutella crunch cake.
My husband always tends to gear towards braised short ribs any chance he gets. So if its on a menu he'd order it. Of all the braised short rib dishes we have tried this definitely was our least favorite. The presentation is a little lacking and the meat was on the dry side. The flavor was decent and tasted like korean bbq. But I guess we were looking for that succulent fall off the bone short rib and it just wasnt what we expected at all.
Next we have the bouillabase... it was definitely not worth $27. Honestly it felt like some mixed seafood in a tomato soup. Presentation was a little lacking. I expected it to be a little more elegant. The flavors were fine but it didnt taste as special as I thought it would.
The baked crab roll was great! It was my favorite part of the meal! My only complaint is that once it arrived I could already tell it wasn't made with premium sushi rice(round and fluffy. It was really good but couldve been better.
The hamachi kama I dont really have any complaints. It was what I expected and what you would get at other places.
Walnut shrimp salad... the flavors were really good but it wasn't special.
Then came dessert and we really enjoyed both the creme brulee and the nutella crunch cake. The creme brulee was perfect but the nutella crunch cake I expected it to have more nutella flavor, still good though.
Overall... we had a really good time. Food was okay and service was spectacular.
