I had had the salmon last time, which was delicious. This time my group picked out dishes to share--the curry with chicken and kimchi fried rice with shrimp. We also had the kaya toast. I found the two entrees to be good, but to have indistinct flavors and not a lot of the protein. I preferred the fried rice, as it was creamier. The kaya toast was delicious, but because it is sweet, it really should be served as a small bite dessert rather than be listed under appetizers. I also had the non-alcoholic grapefruit juice based drink which was wonderful. I would have had dessert, but the options--smores, creme brûlée and donuts--even with the Asian twists, did not seem to offer enough new to justify the calories. We had excellent, attentive but not intrusive, service. The restaurant space is beautiful, and close enough to the DCPA to be a good option for a pre-event dinner, but I was a little disappointed.","submittedDateTime":"2024-04-25T19:36:49Z","rating":{"overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"Betsy","isVip":null,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","initials":"B","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":393,"endIndex":403,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-48139-2110067499-110009856291","text":"Great experience.
