This tasted fine, but I wasn’t really excited by it. The prawns were a bit overcooked and tough, but I liked the overall flavors enough.

Mmm, this halibut was great! It was firm and juicy and I loved the grilled flavor. The corn and squash were also lovely.

Guacamole, pineapple salsa, sour cream, chipotle queso sauce. $14

Mmm, this was sinfully yummy. It could have used more cheese sauce for the amount of tortilla chips. I liked the pineapple salsa and the tasty Kalua pork though!

This was very flavorful and a great value for dinner. There chicken was tender, but the rice was a bit dry.

Ground angus beef and lamb, shallots, parsley, oregano and house tomato basil sauce. $11

These weren’t as good as last time. They were bland and really didn’t speak to me. I could have done without an order of these during this meal.

This was very tasty, even though there wasn’t much salmon to be had. I really liked the salad with pickled veggies too!

Ugh, I don’t know why I also order the Thali plate. It’s SO much food! It is delicious though and satisfies my craving for flavorful Indian food. Mmm…

I’ve never had this before, and it was delicious! There was so much stuff inside this omelet-like crepe and it tasted great when covered in fish sauce. I would definitely order this again!

Lark, San Francisco CA
I love burrata cheese so I thought that these crostini were wonderful. The texture and flavor of the burrata was great and I loved the crunchy, toasted bread.
