I'm very into home decor, so when a place is well-furnished with an eye for design, I'm always sure to take ample pictures (you can find them in the gallery).\n\nFree champagne for ladies for happy hour! I was stoked because I wanted to drink, but I wanted something light (not beer). The menu looked so interesting--so many eclectic combinations of unusual spices and ingredients. For example, a watermelon salad with goat cheese and candied wasabi?! We had to try it.\n\nWe also ordered the tomato soup, recommended by our waiter, who had a great personality and delivered commendable service by the way. The soup WAS very good like he said, but much too sweet for tomato, which is the only thing I would change. We also ordered grilled cheese off the kids menu alongside the soup, which is one of my favorite comfort food pairings.\n\nAs for the watermelon salad, it was one of the most flavorfully interesting dishes I've tried. The only critique I have for the dish is that the candied wasabi was much too candied--the wasabi had no bite and the flavor of it was faint and overshadowed by the sugar. Other than that, we were impressed with how they came up with this combination, mostly because we tried to imitate this dish at home and failed (how does one candy wasabi??). \n\nOverall, my boyfriend and I cannot wait to come back here to try more dishes. Maybe next time we'll get some of their specialty cocktails, since we were boring last time and just ordered beer and champagne."^^ . "2013-08-17T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
