Back to one of my favs: Yama, Waverly. My friends first time.
As always, started with the cold appies: seaweed salad & James Island tuna & avocado "salad". Yum! He loved each, but combined it's heaven.
Sweet & tart lemon drop martini livened my palate!
Dinner: He had the Yaki Udon with chicken. Stirred fried udon noodles, napa cabbage, shiitake mushroom, onion, carrot & spring onion. Generous portion with good ratio of protein, ingredients were very fresh & flavorful.
I had the Grilled maple leaf farm duck breast w. steamed white rice. A beautiful display, however ... I forgot to order it medium & it came well done. Which made it tough and dry. Thankfully there was some seaweed salad to moisten it up a bit.
Our server, Jennifer, was peppy and accommodating. Just wish she asked how I'd like my duck prepared. But the fact she brought extra silverware & laid it on napkins not the table made huge points w.this semi-germaphobe!
