I used to live at One Ten Grant, and I've been going to the King and I for years. I was there again last night. Not much has changed and I still like it.
First off, let me say that the King's punch is every bit as good as I remember it. It is worth a trip JUST for the King's Punch. The Mojito however was pretty disappointing, somehow simultaneously watery and too sweet.
The food is very reliable and much of it is quite good, there are a few ""hit or miss"" items on the appetizer list.
The decor seems to be aging in not such a nice way. I wonder if it might be time to remodel the dining room. There is also a funky smell in the bar that conjures up images of something hidden and growing that is a bit unworldly. This can't be good.
I hope the place can remedy these few problems.
