Had reservations but my date was late so when we got to the venue chef's son told us we'd have to wait and that he'd try his best. Actually, he said something else but it was so soft I didn't actually hear him and just said yes to whatever he suggested. Got a seat on the inside very quickly (originally reserved the patio) right by the bathroom staircase but didn't mind.
The place is pretty small and seats are packed tight. Had a guy who was seated on the table behind me literally push my chair (accidentally) forward when he got up as there was no room but yet it was tolerable.
Had been meaning to try this place after hearing some good things. Of course the Singapore slaw was mandatory and Delish! Cod was also very impressive. However, my date got the crab and it was apparently awful! The dish was soggy, possibly refried or not fried at a high enough temp. There was a wrap around the crab between the batter and the meat which was a strange texture and complete surprise. We did not eat much of that at all.
My date and i both got the sangria and it was SO good! There were so many ingredients but they all worked really well. Highly recommend this!!!
Staff was very good at explaining each dish, allowing opportunity for pictures and friendly. Had to wait a bit on the water being topped off though on a few occasions.
Since it was my birthday we got the "Ferraro Rocher" on steroids (as my server described it) dessert which arrived with some "Indian" sweets on the side, sauce and chocolate on a few spoons. It was awful. So awful that my date and I nearly spat it out and couldn't stop laughing at the faces we were both simultaneously pulling. I'm a chocolate lover and not picky but a bit disappointed. Not sure what was Indian about the dessert either - equally awful combo. Gave it (technically they asked cause they were so drunk!) to the rowdy group of frat boys who were sat next to us and they loved it.
Overall, it wasn't a horrible experience even though some of the food was well below average, I would likely return for the sangria and cod, slaw and perhaps try something else on the menu.
