| - I'll start with the good: the food. Four of us split the chef's appetizer--tofu, spicy pickled cucumber and tofu, the ox tongue on hot stone, salmon carpaccio, death chicken and yellowtail cheek.
The food was all delicious. The yellowtail cheek was by far our favorite. I also really enjoyed the death chicken--don't be deterred by the portents of spicy doom on the menu. We all found the sauce to be quite flavorful and not overtly spicy. The ox tongue was OK, we had to get a second hot stone for cooking and it was kind of difficult to balance the meat on it. The salmon carpaccio was also delicious.
Cocktail wise we tried a variety of the fresh ginger cocktails and they were all refreshing.
Now onto the reason for the 3 star review. The service. We had a reservation at 8pm. Two of us arrived a few minutes early but our table was ready so we were seated immediately. When we got there, it was sweltering in the dining room --something I mention only because it was busy and I really wanted a glass of water. When the rest of our party arrived, no one came to our table to give them menus. We ended up sharing ours and had to flag down a server to get water. Our server arrived and we still needed a few minutes to decide. About ten minutes later, we had to flag down another server to order drinks.
Mid-way through our meal, we ordered another round of drinks. Apparently we made the mistake of asking for the "ginger whiskey highball", a drink we'd already ordered. When a server came back with a completely different drink we were confused but decided since it was so difficult to get the order in the first place we'd roll it. One of our members asked to get the original drink and the server informed us that we had ordered incorrectly. Apparently, our phrasing ordered us regular highballs (which of course are more) instead of the "fresh ginger" highball--which we had already had a round of. Look, I get it. It's busy, etc, whatever. Just spare me the indignity of pushing back over a DRINK ORDER when we didn't use the exact wording on the menu. We at least didn't get charged for it.
We had originally been open to trying more food but at that point decided to settle up and move on. It then took FOREVER to get our bill. We were there for about two hours, 30 minutes of which were spent actually eating food.
Food was outstanding but our service was a solid "meh".
