We came here for Foodie week and had the $39 prix fixe menu option.
Most of us had the Caesar salad, with one if us having the lobster bisque. The Caesar salad was fine, though pretty standard with no extra flourishes like added protein, anchovies, or anything to make it special. The lobster bisque was creamier than normal - so quite rich.
The hamachi and fried onion appetizer was pretty good. Very thin slices of hamachi and it was fairly salty. So tasty, but arguably over seasoned for my taste.
Entree wise, the maguro lime roll was refreshing, but it was kind of soaking in an acidic type sauce, which would have gone better on the side to allow one to dip into the sauce to taste. Again, kind of aggressively seasoned, with less subtlety than ideal.
The burger with fries was a good burger, with tomato, lettuce, all the fixings. The fries were plentiful and good. I would say the burger was the best thing - I personally enjoyed that the most.
Service was fine - got a little busier, but they did come by a few times to check on us. No complaints there.
Overall, even with the Foodie Week prix fixe option, this is a pretty expensive place for what you get in terms of food quality. It's good, but not really elevated or subtle with layers of flavor. More of an in-your-face aggressively seasoned approach that kind of satisfies to start with, but then you realize that it's a little less elevated and refined than you'd hope for at the price point.
Restaurant itself is well decorated, though we sat outside.
For the price, I'd actually tend to give it a 3.5. Considering just the food, closer to 4. So giving it the benefit of the doubt and just going with 4 stars.
