Experience was a mixed bag.

We had a reservation and got there about 5 minutes early and then had to wait about 15 minutes total. The staff was apologetic and it wasn't an issue except that there were clearly many open tables available as our reservation was on the later side. I overheard the hostess asking the person who I think was the maitre d' if she could sit us at a different table (I guess than the one we were slotted to sit at?) As we were just waiting around. She responded to the hostess's suggestion very tersely and it was just very awkward. The whole thing made us feel very uncomfortable and like we were a burden to the maitre d' and I felt like this poor hostess was being spoken down to. She seemed to be very stressed though, so perhaps this was not an accurate snapshot of the usual vibe.

Once we were seated our waiter and the other staff attending to us were all really lovely, attentive, and helpful. There were also some really nice personalized touches for the occasion we were celebrating, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Our drinks were really good as were the oysters and the appetizers and salads we ordered.

Unfortunately the entrees were really not very good. My entree which was essentially stir fried vegetables and tofu over top fried noodles, was borderline inedible. The sauce was weirdly sweet, there was hardly any tofu, and the fried noodles got really soggy very quickly... It just made for a bad combo. I also tried the entrees of my dining companions as well. They got the chicken and the fish and both fine, but in no way exceptional. The chicken had decent flavor but was dry. The fish was on a bed of mashed potatoes which were sickly sweet for no reason (they were not sweet potatoes - it was confusing). The food was also very expensive for what it was. The vegetarian plate I had was $32 and I think the other entrees were $35+ though they did not include premium ingredients . I was definitely disappointed. I don't mind spending a lot on good quality food, but unfortunately I did not think any of our entrees were worth the price.
