I dont know where to start...I was lured by the well written menu and the mysterious decor, but folks, it all stops there. My husband & I were hungry after a wonderful spa day for our anniversary and craving lobster. Mantra was having a Maine lobster special for August and we wanted to try something different. When we were seated in the back room, I said ""hmm, AC must be down"" b/c they had rigged portable units that were unattractive. Not bad yet...we ordered crab kamikaze appetizer which was bland and less than mediocre. Then the entrees, we ordered 2 of the lobster specials, 1 was described as lobster & oyster stir fry, the other General H's from the wok lobster...to sum it up, the lobster was deep fried with batter (since when does a stir fry turn into deep fry?) mixed in a ""special"" sauce that tasted like the store bought brand ""KAME"" in a jar. The exact same fried lobster with special sauce was in each entree, the only difference is one was on top of rice with asparagus, and the other with mashed potatoes and green beans. Also, the oysters were not the ones from the ocean, but oyster mushrooms! They forgot to mention that! There was no mention anywhere about fried lobster...who fries MAINE lobster? I would have never ordered it had I known it was fried. You couldn't taste anything except for the horrible sauce. I expressed my frustration with the waiter and he apologized and said he would have his manager speak with us. Well, he returned and said his manager was too busy...too BUSY? we were one of 3 tables at 6 PM! How can you be too busy? Then he offered us complimentary desserts...a pathetic choice of 4 deserts for $5. If that wasn't a F U in the face, I declined and that was it. We were stuck with a $117 bill (with drinks). We are so disgusted that I am going through the hassle of writing this...I feel like a little girl that has been felt up by her teacher and no one would believe her. Seriously...DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR HARD EARNED $$.
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: EVERYTHING
