"I would have given them one star but I didn't complain in person, so I will give them an extra star since I didn't let them rectify some of the issues during my dinner.\n\nMy boyfriend and I were staying at the hotel, so we decided to have a late night dinner here. We were greeted by a friendly waitress and she informed us that they had a bar menu available. We didn't feel like having a full scale dinner, so we opted to sit in the bar.\n\nI read over their bar menu and wasn't too enthused about the options they had; therefore, I asked for their restaurant menu (which was allowed). She was hesitant to give us the main menu, as she stated it was more sophisticated than the bar menu. I don't think she implied it to sound rude, as she was trying to help us, but it could have been interpreted that way since the BF and I were in casual gear. However, she provided stellar service, so the problem wasn't there.\n\nSome other positives were the free olives, nuts, and pretzels to snack on. Also, we received a free amuse bouche. The last positive was the ambiance, as it was casual and made us feel relaxed.\n\nHowever, the food is less than to be desired. Everything was overcooked! I decided to order from the \"sophisticated menu\", and was sorely disappointed. \n\nFirst, the amuse bouche, it tasted like bad sushi. It's free, so it didn't really matter much. It was a fried tempura muscle with some spicy mayo sauce. It would have been okay if there was something acid to counteract with the salty notes, like a lemon squirt. Also, the oyster tasted super fishy. Not sure if it was the muscle or the batter, but it was not pleasant. \n\nThen we got our appetizer. It was razor clams, raspberries, and baby leeks. The leeks weren't cooked enough, they were tough. I only ate a little bit of the leeks. The razor calms were delicious but would have been better if they cut the raspberries into smaller bites to match the razor clams. The raspberries added a nice sweet and tart note to the dish. \n\nI ordered the swordfish with stuffed squid over black rice. The rice was delicious but everything else was overcooked. The stuff squid was so tough that it took forever for me to cut into it and to chew it. The swordfish was dry because it wasn't cook properly. It had great seasoning, but wished it was more moist. Finally, the stuffed zucchini flower was such a letdown. I loved stuffed zucchini flowers, but the batter or something had a super fishy taste. It tasted exactly like the amuse bouche batter. The fish taste was not expected and was more towards the rancid end of sea flavor. I didn't finish it but my boyfriend, the human garbage disposal did. The whole dish had no balance, just like the amuse bouche - it was seafood salty. \n\nI had a strawberry cake-like dessert. It was tasty but nothing memorable. \n\nOverall, it was a huge let down for me. The service and ambiance was great, especially in the bar area. However, the food had a lot of flaws."^^ . "2"^^ . . .
