| - I like the design of the restaurant and the M Resort in general. But the food just falls short.
They try to run this like a fine dining restaurant but it appears they no longer have the quality of food to do it. And the staff tries really hard but seems overwhelmed, even when it isn't busy.
One thing that really bugged me - we got the dim sum sampler ($16). About 10 dumplings in a stacked metal steamer, and they did not put the paper in the bottom. AND they served soup dumplings! For those not familar, soup dumplings are just what they sound like - they have soup in them. When you don't put wax paper or some other non-stick material at the bottom of a metal steamer, the dumplings stick. So you have to yank the dumpling off the bottom of the steamer and soup goes everywhere. Now its just a dumpling skin. Ugh.
The lobster tacos ($21) we got were interesting. Three tacos in a crunchy shell filled with something that looks like chicken salad, but it's lobster. It comes with a tiny guacamole shake with a straw. My husband and I had no problem sharing the tiny shake but I can see that being an issue for less intimate dining companions. I liked the presentation, but tacos weren't very flavorful.
Everything was just ok - from sushi to cocktails. We did not stay for dessert. The menu is way to varied for this restaurant to do anything good. They serve sushi, seafood, Chinese food, Thai food, steaks, etc. It's just too much.
