| - I came here with a fellow yelper as she (Grace L.) told me that it was worth it. And surprisingly, she couldn't believe that I haven't came before. This place is located right next to the Guitar Center, right on Independence Blvd.
Anyways, lets get to the exciting part: the food. As I just ate at 2:00 and then came here at 5, I was thinking I wasn't going to eat that much. But seeing the menu I had to try out their Kobe Beef burger. Grace's hubby decided to just get appetizers so I had my fair share of their different types of appetizers.
We ordered the restaurant favorite: Bang Bang Shrimp, Crab Cakes, and the fried Calamari. Lets go through them.
Bang Bang Shrimp: Not bad. This I thought was actually the worse appetizer compared to the other 2. The problem of this appetizer was that there was just no flavor to it. It was just fried shrimp, with some kind of sauce and had a hint of spice to it. Almost like they sprinkled it with black pepper and that was it. The sauce, was just bland. Plain and simple. My friend told me that it was usually better than this time, but I guess I'll just have to find out next time.
Crab Cakes: I thought these were delicious. Even though crab cakes are usually pricey and usually no one gets them I thought they were very full and had a good amount of crab in them. The flavor I thought was better than the shrimp. It came with a sauce that went pretty well with it.
Fried Calimari: Not bad. Well, calimari was calimari, nothing crazy special. It came with an Asian sweet dipping sauce, sort of like a sweet and sour sauce, and that was about it. All fried calimari preparations taste the same this way, the only place that I like the calimari prepared is the one they make at Saigon Palace on South Blvd.
Kobe Beef Burger: I sort of killed this dish, just because I thought it was the dish of the night for me. It was big and full of flavor. The beef had a sort of sweetness to it and was very tender when I bit into it. So, yes. I recommend to try this dish. (And I know, it's a fish grill and I didn't order fish...but that means I have something to try next time!)
So. Why 3 stars? The price I felt didn't justify the means. I think they're going for a sort of high/medium class of food and service. But the location and menu just didnt seem like it. It's part of a department store, not an independent kind of store. The service wasn't bad and I thought if I give a 3, I have a chance to come back to it and give it another go at it.
