Overall: Food and service weren't bad but for the price you pay, the quality of everything simply isn't there. If you're going to charge $30+ for entrées, make sure it taste like the price you're charging
Atmosphere: This is what makes the place in all honesty. Very nice, classy, laid back atmosphere with a subtle hint of pretentiousness. The rooftop setting with the lake behind makes for great photo opportunities and maybe even special occasions like engagements
Service: I've been here twice now and I've read the reviews regarding the service, but truth be told I've never had any severe issues as far as rude workers servers or anything. The worst I had happen was they forgot to bring out my girlfriend's spring roll appetizer but we received food shortly after.
Food: Overall the food was very basic, not bad, but not blow your socks off good either. the spring rolls were good, but tasted like any ordinary spring rolls. I'd be they were probably frozen however, I'd be surprised if they were fresh made. For $10 I'd give them a 7/10. For drinks, I had the Tropical Mojito, however it tasted a little watered down and I couldn't really taste the coconut rum. For $12, 4/10. For entreé I had the shrimp pasta and it was just very mid at best. Not a lot of true flavor or seasoning, serving size was good but the flavor wasn't there. To be honest, it was something I could've made at home and for $28, I'm going to have to give it a 3/10. In fact, I took home left-overs and put it in a sauce pan tossing in some extra veggies and some paprika and crushed red pepper and it elevated the dish from a 3 to a 7.5/10. Having this experience of everything being average, I stayed away from getting dessert to avoid being aggravated at paying the price for it.
Sidenote: Please, if you're going to have a restaurant that's supposed to have an upper echelon type of feel, it's a probably a good idea not to have guests eating on graduation party tables you can purchase at Sam's. I paid $120 (gratuity is automatically added and it's quite steep) for a bill that was in reality worth more like $75.
