Terrible experience

by aloha68 at Citysearch

My first visit turned out to be terrible. Ordered three appetizers and received the first one quickly. After some time passed we received grilled shrimp and a special appetizer but they were both room temperature. The waitress came to our table and said they were supposed to be served that way. Then the manager arrived quite upset and asked us to pay our bill (for the food we ate) and leave the restaurant immediately.

overpriced

by michellederderian at Citysearch

Too expensive for the level of quality, creativity, taste and overall value of each of our meals. The 9 dollar margaritas were watery and sour. The ambience was poor and our waitress snobby. Twenty dollars for 7 shrimp and a handful of white rice? Come on.

Oh, so pretentious

by mayatdog at Citysearch

Very Pretentious. The food is adequate, the service is very, very yuppie. The price does not match the food, the service or the environs of the restaurant. Again, the word that comes to mind is Oh, so pretentious, Stay away!

  • Pros: they do serve food, it isnt too noisy, you get to leave
  • Cons: the fare is so so, so so food, Oh so pretentious
