| - So I've been here twice within the past 2 weeks (it's the Moscow Mule; I'm hooked). Having changed my diet 6 months ago (Pescatarian only) I am skeptical of trying new places in fear that they won't have anything to satisfy my tastebuds.
I stumbled across this cute spot one day via Groupon. Knowing I was dining alone, I called the manager and was informed that, while the Groupon was for two, I could use the discount granted I purchase an entree. Done! After perusing the short menu I opted for the Crab Fried Rice and Egg Rolls. I wasn't mad either! The Crab Fried Rice was delicious; though for $17 a plate I would expect a tad bit more for my palate, I'm not complaining. I washed both down with, not one but, 2 Moscow Mules (one with plain Vodka and the other with Cranberry). Absolutely delicious! I typically stay with my top shelf Cadillac Margarita but I'm glad I tried something new. Deep Eddy Vodka is a must try!
Now my second trip...ehhh. While my two Moscow Mules and the live music were on point, I tried something new; Papaya Salad. Now...the first item of the description reads: Grilled Prawns. Oh boy! It's on and poppin'! Added an order of Egg Rolls and I was good to go. I guzzled down my first Mule and my food arrived. Right on time. Salad piled high and Egg Rolls delicately placed on the plate. I dipped and chewed, dipped and chewed. Mmm!
As I gently cut up my salad I noticed two shrimp sitting cute on the corner of the squared plate. Great! I thought, garnish. The rest must be under the julienned papaya and carrots. I was a little miffed to find that there were NO more shrimp (they weren't big enough to be labeled as prawns in my book). I politely called a waitress over and asked if the salad came with only two shrimp. And she pleasantly said, "Yes". WHAT?! I would've been embarrassed to admit that. There should've at least been 4-5. My goodness! I cut each one into fourths to spread out the goodness I WAS expecting and kept it moving.
Nonetheless, the service is great! I just wish the portions were plentiful.
