| - I give this place 3 stars b/c I think there's room for improvement, and there's no doubt that the owner, Dana who came by our table and earnestly asked for unabashed feedback will take our gentle critiques to heart. Our waitress was also very kind and attentive.
We ordered the ahi tuna wonton appetizer. It was difficult to eat, and sort of flavorless. I hate adding salt to things, but everyone at the table agreed that a little bit of salt really brought out the flavors.
The ginger brew soda, should probably be called the honey brew soda with a twist of ginger made with Winnie the Pooh in mind. I didn't try the cocktails, but another friend who was dining at a nearby table said that the cocktails were the only thing she liked about the menu. She ordered the pork, and from what I hear that's not hitting any home runs.
I ordered the halibut, that was accompanied with a scoop of hearty, plump rice and a slaw salad that added the perfect texture and flavor to the entree. I really enjoyed my dish. I'm no foodie, I just like a yummy meal, so it satisfied my simple requirements. With that said, it could have been on the lighter side. The Halibut has a cream based sauce, and the slaw was quite creamy as well. If they subtract a little cream out of one of those items, I think that would strike a better balance.
The sliced steak with wasabi mashed potatoes came in 2nd place. The texture of the meat was perfect, and the presentation was very nice. However the flavor of the steak did not wow me. With that said, the wasabi mashed potatoes were pretty kick-ass.
The chicken something or other with plantains and the same rice that came with the fish, was really meh. It was overly sweetened, and the meat was dry.
I should mention that they have tofu tacos for the veggies of the world.
The building has great bones... they don't make em' like that anymore. There are interior design choices that aren't my fav (generic upholstery, too much tiki kitsch memorabilia), but all and all they've done a great job. The patio definitely needs some trees in some large planters, or some way to creatively incorporate more greenery (see Parlor). It has too much of a concrete jungle feel to it out there... not very welcoming. The bathrooms sort of felt like the old Bahama Breeze place, but I'm probably being too harsh.
I think this place is gonna get better and better, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DECIDE TO ADD A CHOCOLATE DESSERT.
