We had never been there before. First, we couldn't find the darn place. We had to drive through Legacy Village a couple of times before we found it. Tip: Look up for signs. It's on the second floor. Then came the task of finding the entrance. It's not really near the sign because you have to go up escalators which is where you finally find signage. We had a 7:15pm reservation on a Thursday but it was 25 minutes before we were seated. Once seated there were about five open tables around us so I think we could have been seated sooner. \n\nSo, finally we got our table and things began to improve. Our cheddar appetizer was delicious and I loved that it was made at the table so you know it's fresh. We hated dipping the apples. Apples and hot cheese? Wtf? Anyway... I had the California salad... Delicious! My husband enjoyed the house salad. On to the entree, I had the teriyaki marinated sirloin, pork bbq and andouille sausage. My husband did the duck, ahi tuna and filet mignon. His favorite was the tuna and mine was the teriyaki sirloin. We were warned that the portions were small but we were okay with them. We had the original for dessert. The items to dip are great! \n\nIt was a neat experience. If we could, they'd get 3 1/2 stars. I'm glad we had the Groupon. I don't know that we would ever consider returning without a Groupon and I'm pretty sure everyone around us was using one too. Our total without the Groupon would have been $98. With the $30 Groupon we still owed $42."^^ . "0"^^ .
