The hostess was aloof and not organized. She sat a party and said she would be right with us. We were taking pictures next to the hostess stand and when she came back she served the people behind us. Windy night - no one outside - started to take us to outside table. The poke was described as mildly hot - had chili flakes and was too hot. Premade (would prefer fresh made) so had to return it and not eat it. Whole fish is amazing! Strange pricing. Menu says $200 for entire fish. Waiter gave price of $250 for entire fish and $150 for half (a special price). Maybe entire fish was larger - but pricing is strange - perhaps MP on menu makes more sense Mashed potatoes arrived cold.

The Brussels sprouts received positive feedback. However, the truffle fries were undercooked and disappointing. They lacked crispiness and truffle flavor. On a brighter note, the prawn sauce was exceptionally tasty.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Seated at 6:30 pm. Waited forever for food. Salad served at7:25 (55 min) from arrival. Entree served at7:55 (1hr and 25 min after arrival). Got no good explanation about what caused the long delay. Food was good.

Nice for Ritz Carlton Guest that just need a good meal. I wouldn’t recommend taking your date there if you’re not a guest. No specials, very limited menu, seats are not comfortable.
