This experience was a rough from the beginning.
1. We called ahead and asked if we could reserve a table outside. The person on the phone said yes, we will open the patio for dinner. We get there and we were told that they would not have outdoor seating tonight even though we saw a heater lamp on the patio. So we sat in the back at the high tops.
2. We ordered at 8:00pm - bread, apps, entree, and drinks. The bread was hard and too hot to touch, suggesting they microwaved the bread. They also called it "bread service" but it only came with two rolls and a single thing of infused butter. The app took about 35 minutes to come to the table, whereas the entrees came out at about an hour into the meal. We ordered diet cokes, but we were given cans which were already expired. They were completely flat.
3. The food comes. I got the lobster rolls (which didn't come with fries even though the menu said it did and the fries came 15 minutes before the rolls). I will say that the serve did tell me that they were sliders, but what I got was not what I would call a slider. They literally had one sliver of lobster on them, some sauce with no flavor, and one fresh jalapeño. They also use Hawaiian rolls. All of this to say, it is ridiculous to pay $20 for the entree that I was given. My husband got the general tsao fried oyster fried rice. The rice was simultaneously undercooked/crunchy in parts and too soft in others. The general tsaos sauce itself was overly sweet and just unusual. We ate most of the lobster rolls but barely any of the rice. The serve took it back into the kitchen to bring it up to the chef.
4. I will also say, though, when we brought this up to our server she was very receptive and took the drinks and the rice off of the tab and understood the situation which I really did appreciate. The dumplings (which I believe were technically wontons) were really good. The fries and the infused butter were good as well.
5. I am honestly just disappointed because this was meant to be my birthday dinner and unfortunately it was not the outing I was expecting.
Overall, super underwhelmed by this place. I'll chalk it up to a long night on their end since we did set our reservation time at 8:00pm, one hour before they were set to close.
We are not from the area, but I wouldn't recommend this place.
