The explosion of flavors was just a little too much for me 1/12/2009

ok...now I had average expectations going into this place. I knew the decor was gonna be great, which was def the case, so 5 stars for that...I knew it was trendy, so I assumed the food would be either really great or so so..as most places as this are. Onto the meal. Went for dinner on a Friday night. Wasnt busy and was immediately seated in a nice corner booth. Menu is very small, with limited selection. If you don't like fish/seafood, consider the appetizers a no go. The entrees were priced as I expected, anywhere from 20-40 dollars. My GF got a scallop appetizer, she really liked it. The presentation was pretty solid. She ordered the filet special and I got the braised short rib from an entree with a side of green beans. Here is where things get a little ehhhhhhhh. Mine was a little cold, and for some reason they try to jam like 18 different flavors into one dish. I am a rather simple guy so I dont need 18 different contrasting tastes in a bite. It hits your tongue sweet, then you get a bit of spice. For me its not a good thing. Its almost overwhelming. The green beans were chili topped or something and the initial taste is almost too much to handle. I am really picky about food, my gf is not, and even she had a hard time with the food. We finished with chocolate lava type cake, which was very good... All in all if your one for an explosion of taste, you will more then likely this place. If your not, then it will vary case by case, person by person. I myself, prob wouldnt go back but I would def recommend to at least go and try it for yourself cuz every body likes different things... more
