Spicy King Crab
Is this place beautiful? Abso-freakin-lutely! The decor is truly gorgeous. The wait staff and hostesses were very friendly and we were seated immediately which I liked (I hate when restaurants make you go to the bar and then as soon as you order a drink, your table is magically ready) although they did try to seat us in the area when you first walk in to the left which is like COMPLETELY out of the main dining room and just a weird seating area in general. I felt like saying nuh uh! No one puts baby in the corner! All kidding aside, that is really how I felt.
We ordered MANY dishes so I will break it down by what we ate:
+ Spicy king crab - A must order. As in, you MUST order this. Did ya hear me?
- Tuna pizza - Very bland. I have had this dish at many different restaurants and I can say this is something I would definitely not order again.
- Seafood 'to ban yaki' with sweet prawns, scallops, king crab, bok choy,
manila clams,oyster mushrooms,citrus butter - Sounds out of this world, right? No. This was also sooooo bland. We even had to tell the restaurant how bland it was. For $37, definitely not worth it. The waiter did take this off of our bill and the manager also stopped by to say she was sorry that we did not enjoy it. I really was surprised at that because usually at the trendy restaurants no one is ever aware there is even a manger working (they never personally stop by tables). Definitely a plus!
+ Sushi - We ordered sushi by the piece and they had my favorite; kinmedai. Wooohoooo!
+ Milk chocolate key lime pie with chocolate crunch, key lime mousse, frozen raspberry meringue - I actually usually HATE key lime pie. I just never really ever was a fan of this dessert in general. However, when you let your guest choose dessert, you cannot pick what they order. In this case, my friend picked the milk chocolate key lime pie. IT WAS PHENOMENAL. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. YOU MUST ORDER THIS. Again, did ya hear me? Must must must must!
All & all, the food was really mixed. Some dishes I loved, some I really didn't enjoy. It is a nicer step up in terms of trendy restaurants and although I consider this a fusion restaurant, the sushi was pretty good. I will have to come back and try their omakase sushi.
