| - Celebrated a friend's 40th bday here. Service was good and the hosts friendly. We were asked how much we wanted to spend, and we said about $50 pp (with tax and drinks, though, it came to be over $90 for those who ordered drinks and $80 for those who didn't). They do their best to keep under or at your budget - and they did! It's kinda cool bc they will add an extra piece of two depending on the size of your party and prorate the piece. No more having to cut pieces because there's only four items and six people.
However, I thought it was lame that I told them I was allergic to shrimp and they still brought out a dish with shrimp! They asked what allergies we had, so I would assume when they do that, they will try to avoid bringing out anything with those items. What's the point in asking what your allergies are if you don't adhere to them?? I should have asked to return it or taken off the bill - according to an email exchange with someone when reserving a table, it said we could return any dish we didn't enjoy. The dish was good, but again, don't serve things people are allergic to after being told.
Anyway, most of the food was good, though there were a few misses. We started with some tempura fried green beans and edamame - something we probably wouldn't have normally ordered since it seemed like filler food. We all loved the scallop wrapped in what looked like a fried bird's nest. So good. The waguy dumplings were good but something we could have skipped. Also, another favorite was the Sea Bass and Peruvian corn - omg that was so delicious. I could have eaten way more of that plate. The Peruvian corn kernels were really large and sweet. The Tuna Tacos were another favorite. We didn't like the Beef and Mushroom pot so much - had a strong coconut flavor, which I'm not a fan of. We also got a plate of sushi, three different kinds. One was good, but the rest were okay. The Banana Boat dessert, though nice, wasn't that good. We probably would have skipped it. It was basically pieces of banana with torched sugar on top and ice cream, etc.
Drinks are expensive but really good here. I recommend ordering the Samba one was way better than mine, and in a really large glass! It was fruity and fresh, and there was definitely alcohol in it. I might go back one day if I win some money, but I'll prob stick to ordering the dishes myself.
Overall, the food was pretty good, but the price is pretty expensive for what you get. I had expected a little more, I guess.
