3.5 stars. The ambience is a mix of casual/business. The tables are a little closer than I would like. I think we had more expectations from them than what we got. The one thing that was good, was the drinks.
We started with the Ranch Water and the Lychee Collins which were both well-created drinks. Not too boozy. I would've liked some more. For the appetizers, we wanted the hummus but they said they'd stopped making that. So we got the calamari instead. The calamari surprised me because it didn't come in the little rings that I'm normally used to. Instead, they were thick, slightly unappetizing slices. The sauce of the calamari was creamy, slightly eggy and pretty good. The bread that came with it was simply delicious. The salsa on the side had a lot of flavor and some spicy which we enjoyed. I just wish the calamari had been smaller and more fried...the thick slices became soggy with the sauce.
For the entree, I got the lobster Tortelli and my friend got the Flight of Fillet. The lobster was not good. I'd expected a slightly thicker sauce with soft tortellini stuffed with lobster. Instead, I got a thin watery soup (that they labelled as bisque on the take home cup) with half-cooked tortellini. There was some lobster in the pasta but the watery soup kind of took over all the taste. The lobster by itself was just ok. There were a few pieces of prosciutto which was fine. I was just very disappointed by this dish.
The flight of Fillet was a batch of 3 tiny fillets with a different sauce on each - green coulis, blue cheese and a 21 steak sauce. The green coulis was the best and the blue cheese wasn't that great. The in-house sauce was pretty decent. The fillet itself was cooked the way my friend wanted. The side of veggies was delicious, especially the potatoes. It came with the creamed corn, which was sweet. This came as a surprise because the server specifically told us there is a spicy kick in there and we say, the spicier the better. So when I got corn dumped in sweet creamy sauce with a few pieces of Pueblo chilies, I was disappointed. I still finished the corn because sweet or spicy, I'm going to eat it because it's corn.
We wanted a dessert that they said they did not have. So we got the tres leches. It was a decent sized piece but quite firm. I like my tres leches to melt in my mouth and I had to bite this one. Decently sweet and nice to look at but not as good as the ones I've had.
And that ended the dinner - more of a could've-been. We spent $60-70 per person and I can say that the food was definitely not worth that price. Also, if you don't have something on the menu any more, take it off the menu!
