| - What a disappointment! This place has awful and very overpriced dishes. My family and a couple of coworkers tried lots of dishes. Pupu platter was a disaster. The sweet pea soup tastes just like toilet cleaner smells. The watermelon with goat cheese is just that. No marinade, no flavor, nothing. The fish fritters were overcooked and tasteless. The short ribs were overcooked and lacklustre. The duck was undercooked and outrageously priced given 5 tiny little slices for, I believe, $22. Oh, and it's topped with a few little cereal balls. Yes, cereal balls. The jarred tuna is ordinary raw tuna, nothing to speak of at all. Tuna deviled eggs...well, we love raw tuna and deviled eggs, and as much as we like to be experimental, especially myself, this is not a match made in heaven, for sure. Meat in the meatballs was of poor quality. They were hard and gristley. Soba noodles I expected to bland, as they usually are, but these were tasteless. Striped bass was fishy and dried out. Small plates can be lots of fun, but not one thing, not one! was good at all. Too bad this place took over Petra. It wasn't great but it and Bottles and Burgers, both now closed, were far better. The recipes are just awful, and also, a couple of the dishes were missing ingredients. The other thing is that the menu doesn't list all of the ingredients in a dish...just a few. Doesn't make sense. Our waiter, was "out to lunch" as well. Tivoli is so lovely, but goodness, this place is horrible.
