    It was a great experience! We were all first time diners! Our server, Will was the best!! He stayed attentive to our table and was professional, very friendly and considerate! The only complaint was it was VERY dark at the table.

    The service was very good. Ambiance is wonderful. We sat outside- the heaters took off the chill. The food presentation was beautiful, but everything was mediocre, from the appetizers to the entrees. People loved the salmon and the fish and chips. The Katsuo sandwich was a mess for me- I didn’t eat it more than a bite. Way too sweet. The fried chicken was acceptable. The charcuterie board was fair- not well presented or balanced (sweet and savory, salty). I have made a better board myself. I would go back but be careful about my choices. Great location, but the food does not live up to its potential.

    Way too dark. Could not read menu. Candle went out. Had to ask for new one. At Saturday 5:30 PM they were "already" out of the Peking Duck. Wonder if they ever had it. Wife's Coke had no flavor. Waiter said it looked strange but served it anyway ?? Had to ask for straws. Iced Tea was flavored, Mango? Not sure but would have liked to know that ahead of time. Not a mango fan. Ordered the Garlic Bread. It was good but had to ask for bread plates. Ordered split Caesar Salad. That was fine but 5 minutes later main dish came out. Would have liked to finish salad first. Mongolian Short Rib was ok but won't order it again. Assuming we go back. Maybe they should have stayed one more semester before dropping out.

    Our waiter was great. He was overworked. Homemade chips were tough. French fries were not cooked well. Hamburger was good as was the chicken salad. Dessert was slow, but manager didn’t charge us for it. We loved the place, just a bad night for service.

    They were out of salmon. Which is the main reason we went. Food was good but over priced for what it was.
