I've been going here about once a month for a couple of years now with friends. Up until last weekend- I would have rated them five stars. The food had always been excellent, and the atmosphere nice, even if a bit crowded and loud.
The last couple of visits, I noticed they cut their menu down quite a bit. They still had the stir-fry dishes I like, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me, but the menu definitely isn't as varied and eclectic as it used to be.
This past weekend, I ordered on of my usual dishes- Crispy Teriyaki Stir-Fry (or something along those lines). It was overcooked, dry, and cold, even though it came rather quickly. The rice was also cold, and veggies were soggy. It was almost like I got someone else's food that had been sitting out for awhile. My friends said their food (salmon) was "excellent as always", and since I didn't want to make a big deal out of it or delay our plans for the evening- I just choked it down smiling.
The service is good, not exceptional- but what I would expect from a "chain" bar/restaurant. They are very friendly and generally fast. I'll eat there again, but if I get another meal like last weekend's- I'm going to start suggesting to my friends that we look for another restaurant to meet at.
Ok  but nothing special. Once we got raw shrimp on cooked veggies!! Its good to go if you have coupon but otherwise nothing special. Don' t know why its always busy. We got waitress saying to us oh no not coupon! Are you kidding me? If not the coupons I dont know if you would have many customers there
Review Source:I brought 30 people with me for dinner. Their private room was very nice. The food was delicious and the service was great. They didn't automatically add in a tip which I liked. I tipped 25% and got out of there for less $ than I expected. I'll be back in August with another 30-40 people. You've earned my business.
Review Source:On 10-22-2012 I visited and the service was terrible... I have no idea why. First my friend gets burn with the plate that was given to her with no warning about being hot. So my friend ask for the manager and mentions that fact that she got burn and the manager responded with "what do u want me to do?" Â follow by "if you want the food for free, that is not happening!" Â We were not asking for anything FREE we just didnt wanted another person to be burn.
Review Source:So, I have been to the elephant bar many times before. however, not since the menu change. Tonight we decided to celebrate my husbands birthday there with our daughter. The hostess or door greeter was not very friendly and she seemed put out that I needed a booster chair for our daughter. Anyway, we get seated and the atmosphere felt odd. Our waiter was friendly enough and took our drink order, he came back with our drinks and we started out with the lettuce wraps (this is what my husband wanted to come for) the wraps turned out to be much fattier than we remembered which was a disappointment. On to our food order, the waiter did not give any suggestions right off the bat, which was fine, I am  okay with it unless I am having a hard time deciding on something. At any rate most of our exchanges with our waiter were either awkward or confusing. I ended up ordering a build it yourself burger. I asked for a garden burger with cheese and thousand island dressing. The burger comes with lettuce tomato, pickles and onions. He got my order correct but when my burger came it was drowning in thousand island dressing the top of the burger  was just sliding off, also the burger was stacked with so much lettuce that i I had to take most of it off. I told the waiter that I wasn't happy with the burger and he proceeded to tell me how the garden burger wasn't good unless you put a lot of BBQ sauce on it and how he burger tastes like oatmeal and is dry, gee, thanks for the tip. He did not offer to discount or replace the meal. in his defense I just tried to get through the burger. as much as I used to like going there,it has a strange atmosphere now and the staff seems to be either disgruntled or just do not care about service and food quality. It is a shame, this restaurant used to be so great. I am sad my husband was so disappointed on a special occasion. We will not be going back anytime soon.
Review Source:I had eaten at this chain once in the past and could not remember why I would not go back. Â Now I know.
Please avoid this chain if you have any food sensitivities.
 I had the french onion soup  without anything else but plain iced tea.  I knew while I was eating (at a business lunch) that I was in trouble because of the metallic taste in my mouth,  I don't believe I have had as much MSG at one sitting as I did with this "soup."  I developed a headache and stomach upset that lasted over 15 hours-I awoke in the middle of the night belching the soup.  Maybe there were other preservatives I could not identify.
I make french onion soup-it is a no brainer that requires simple ingredients.
I usually avoid chains because of the preservatives in the food and this restaurant merely proved my point.
I don't think I've ever left a bad review for a restaurant before but there honestly isn't a single good thing I can say about this place. Â I had steak and prawns (a safe bet - or so I thought). Â I knew it would have a some sugar, but wow. Â There had to be at least a 1/4 cup of sugar in my meal. Â Some of the vegetables were soft, others were tough and stringy. Â There was at least 5-6 cloves of garlic in the dish (mostly uncooked). The meat tasted like it had been soaked in sugar and meat tenderizer for 4 hours. Â Everything was swimming in this horrifically sweet, water-thin, mess of a sauce. Â The prawns might have been O.K. but once this sweet mess got on them, any flavor they might have had was hopelessly lost and overpowered by sugary garlic soup.
The noise in the place is deafening. Â No one can hear anything and everyone has to practically yell to be heard. Â It has the ambiance of a warehouse.
The waitress came by and did not ask if either I or my wife wanted more water and just grabbed our glasses. Â Unfortunately, she grabbed the glass very high up. Â NOT particularly sanitary for anyone in the restaurant since we were all exchanging oral germs via her hands. Â My wife tried to protest, but too late, she added the obligatory 1/4 of an inch of water and of course got her finger prints all over the top of the glass.
I seriously couldn't eat this soupy sugary mess. Â I was almost in a panic to get out of this place.
The reviewer that complained that the food doesn't look anything like the pictures was DEAD ON.
We will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER go back.
I found the interior design better than the food. Â It's just ok. Â The prices seemed a bit expensive for the food. Â Then, when I got to the food, it didn't seem like it was made with love (lame, I know). Â The chicken was kind of dry, and slightly rubbery, and the ribs were good, but not great. Â Also, do not order the fried rice! It has an awful taste, which I think comes from them using brown rice instead of white rice. If I wanted a healthy rice dish, I would have asked for the brown rice. I probably wont go here again, unless I have a coupon.
Review Source:The food was just "OK", nothing to make us want to return, but the service was horrible.  A taller young female "server".  Long time to order,  later arriving guests sitting across from  us got their order sooner than us,  and then when we wanted to pay and leave, waited and waited for the check, and then another 10 min without even seeing the "server" so we went to the front to see if they would take our money since the "server" obviously didn't want it.
While the young man was processing our CC, and we were finally signing the bill, she came to the front and was very snooty, Â "I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough for you".
I told her it shouldn't take over 10 minutes to pick up the payment for the check...left her a mediocre tip...shouldn't have left anything.
Won't be back.
Sad sad, been going to elephant bar for years. Never been to this location & will never go back. The reason for 2 stars instead of 1, because service was good, food on the other hand was not up to elephant bar standards. My wedge salad with blue cheese was very watery. The sampler platter we got that we've been getting fit years was BAD artichoke dip dry, chips styal. Â When we asked for manager, waitress just credit or bill. But no manager ever showed up, she said she spoke to him. Yay right. Hint if customer ask for manager you get one. Â Sad to say ill never go back to elephant bar on Arapahoe
Review Source:I often forget this Elephant Bar exists. It's kind of off the beaten path, even for suburbia, so you can pass it a few times a week and forget that it's there. I do love the menu selections here, the Teriyaki Chicken has been a staple menu item in my life for the last few visits because the flavor is so fantastic.
I had the tomato basil bisque with a small pear/walnut/gorgonzola salad on my last visit here and wow. Amazing. The soup was really flavorful and the salad had the right amount of everything.
i really like this place.
they have a menu equipped with nutritional info online. Â if you're a weight watcher like me, it's easy to go prepared.
the atmosphere is so cute and fun. Â i love the decorating and the moving fans are such a conversation piece.
the menu is huge and has a little something for everyone. Â in my pms haze on thursday, i ordered a french dip with fries (don't worry fellow ww, i only ate 1/2 of it) and MY was it TASTY. Â my friend got an amazing looking chicken dish. Â i look forward to going back and trying the asian delights.
andrew was a very attentive and sweet server. Â he was knowledeable and professiona and kept my diet coke filled through the duration of our visit.
the parking lot is a little insane at lunch, but honestly, that's my only complaint.
enjoy!
Great food, good service, but a little slow on getting tables ready. Â The food selection here is amazing and the cooks do a great job implementing the recipes. Â Try the Kung Pow Shrimp, or Strip Steak sandwich if you are going the first time as it will give you a great idea of what food they have.
Management does not have enough servers to take care of a packed dinner service anytime we go, therefore give yourself an hour to get your food when you first arrive. Â Very close to 5 stars, but the location manager must take the time to get service done.
You know what I love? Menus with pictures, it's just visually stimulating and makes the dining experience fun.
You know what I don't love? Menus with pictures that gives you false expectations of what to expect.
I went here for a business lunch last week and was amazed with the menu--pictures along with tasty sounding (and looking) items that had me flip flopping from one item to another! I soon decided on the Thai-High Sweet & Zesty Chicken Salad since it looked absolutely amazing in the picture. Soon enough our food was there and I was thinking "Where the hell is the rest of my salad?" The salad they gave me (supposedly the Thai-High Sweet & Zesty Chicken Salad) was a weak looking bowl of iceberg lettuce, random bits of chicken and dressing.
Again, where the hell is the rest of my salad?
The picture on the menu displayed an actual salad that looked vibrant with colors and vegetables. Since I was on a business lunch I didn't want to be that girl requesting a new salad so I begrudgingly ate my salad but I wasn't happy with it. It was the saddest salad I've ever had. I wouldn't make a special trip here but if someone were paying for me I might go again!
We've been here several times for family happy hour. Â Last time was a month ago for a family and friends get together after a funeral and they were very accommodating. Had a side room all set up for our group of 18-20 people and were on top of everything throughout our several hours there.
They have a good selection and well priced apps during Happy Hour and a large selection of drinks as well that won't break your wallet. Surprisingly, they have quite a few menu items on the regular menu that are extremely low in calories but generously portioned which is nice!
Staff is always pleasant and it's a nice change from the regular American restaurants.
I came here on a business lunch last week. I was a little apprehensive since I don't normally eat at places that put glossy flyers in the weekly ad circular.
This place was amazingly full, considering how many lunch options there are in the vicinity. Despite that, service was pretty fast.
I ordered the blackened ahi tuna with tropical fruit salsa on a recommendation. It came with some steamed vegetables, which were a little salty for my taste. The ahi itself was fresh, but the dish overall seemed a little uninspired. I could have whipped something like this up at home; when I go out, I want to be inspired. My companion had the grilled Moroccan chicken breast. Again, nothing really wrong with it, but not the star of the show.
My issue with Elephant Bar is that it tries to be all things to all people, kind of like Applebee's or the Cheesecake Factory, but with an Asian/global fusion approach. Everything on the menu is probably fine and focus group-tested, but you're not going to be raving about it the next day either.
Made a stop into this place twice for lunches, after work related morning site visits. Â My first thought when told this was where we were going to eat lunch at this place was that it sounds pricey. Â The place was clean, the waitstaff was courteous, the food was good, and the cost was about par for any other sit down place. Â The first time I believe I had the Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich. Â This is one healthy helping of a sandwich. Â Pretty good too. Â One of my coworkers had some chinese food that looked excellent.
The second time I ate here I decided to go with the chinese food. Â Looked excellent, tasted ok, but it didn't compare to my favorite spot "Golden City Chinese".
I would go back, only this time I will try something other than the chinese food.
Elephant Bar is pretty cute. Â I went once years ago, and then I stopped in for a snack the other day.
I sat in the bar. Â The service was ok. Â I had a nice sauvignon blanc and then was left alone. Â Which I usually like, but I was trying to get something to eat. Â The server was busy, so I finally looked up the menu from their website and got the server's attention while she was passing by.
I ordered the French Onion Soup. Â It was nice, but saltier than a lot of them I've had. Â The cheese was not fully melted. Â But the soup itself was nice.
All in all, I liked Elephant Bar and would go back if someone suggested it., but I don't think I'd go out of my way to go there.
A work vendor gave me a gift card so we thought we'd try Elephant Bar for dinner one night. The service was excellent and the food was so-so. We got the spinach artichoke dip for the app, and it was good.
I had the steak sandwich. I ordered it well-done and it wasn't really, but the flavor was still okay. It wasn't the best thing I've ever eaten, but not the worst either ,hence the 3 stars.
Not sure if I'd be back without another free gift card, but I wouldn't turn it down either!
This is a place I have driven by over the years, but never actually gone too. Â My Grandmother loves it. Â The only other people who have told me about it are happy hour workers, so I really had no idea if it was going to my kinda place based on those reviews! Â Still, we got a gift card to the place and figured, well for a free meal why not!
We started with the spinach and artichoke dip. Â It was tasty and they didn't skimp on the chips (tortilla). Â For dinner I had the french dip with a side of mac n cheese. Â The sandwich had good crusty bread, but the meat was just so-so (not a lot of flavor there) and I found myself using a lot of au jus to infuse some taste. Â The mac n cheese was creamy and good. Â I didn't care for the salad croutons they plopped on top, seemed like an afterthought. Â
Other than that, the booths were nice and big, the service was very attentive and it was a decent place to go on a gift card! I am not sure I would be back, but it had a wide enough menu I might just try something else if I am in that neck of the woods.
I love the tomato bisque here - it is probably the best i have ever had. Â It is very creamy with little bits of tomato and basil.
The ham/turkey club sandwich is one of the best sandwiches that I had in a long time. Â Tons of choices on the menu - sometimes it's hard to choose making me wish there was just a tad smaller menu. Â
We tend to go in the off time so rarely have to wait for a table.
The service is always spot on the the servers are always friendly.
I have had an indifferent "Ultimate Bacon Burger", a very disappointing "Pan Braised Rock Sugar Beef With Pappardelle Noodles", and perhaps the very best "Tomato Basil Bisque" I have ever eaten. Â I like the atmosphere at the Elephant Bar, and the service is usually fine. Â The management is attentive . . . I was making some negative comments to my dining a companions about the Beef Noodle dish, a passing by manager overheard me, and he had the kitchen remake the dish. Â It still was not especially tasty, but I did get a hot, fresh serving with more than 4 dry nuggets of beef on it.
What keeps me coming back to Elephant Bar is the tomato soup. Â The next time I go, I am just going to order two bowls of this, eat them, see if I am still hungry, and consider ordering a third. Â From what I have seen, the "Half Turkey & Ham Focaccia Sandwich and Soup Combo" (Go Tomato!) is one of the best deals on the menu (the prices on many of the items at Elephant Bar do run on the steep side). Â Although I have not actually tried the Focaccia sandwich myself, my dining companions consistently order this.
I visited this place with my mom for a quick dinner during happy hour.  I looked at the website at home and saw a happy hour food menu that looked somewhat promising.  When we sat down we were given their regular menu and I was shocked at how expensive it was.  This is a chain, folks, and we all know  the main focus of chains is usually money not a passion for food and/or drink and it's patrons.  Cue mediocre food and inflated prices I asked for the happy hour menu and the waiter appeared genuinely shocked that I knew about it?!?!
We ordered the chicken and lettuce wraps, the buffalo chicken tenders and the macaroni and cheese. Â All 3 were regular sized menu items, 2 of which were nearly 1/2 price. Â The chicken and lettuce wraps were okay, not particularly flavorful or outstanding. Â PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps are light years away. Â The buffalo chicken tenders were ultra ultra salty. Â Like woah. Â I'm the one at the table who adds salt to tortilla chips, so I'm not a salt snob. Â These were unusually salty. Â The macaroni and cheese was pretty good, but they put preservative coated whole croutons on top which made it look and taste tacky.
I might return here to try some of the other happy hour food items, but I sure as hell wouldn't return and pay full price for their regular menu items. Â I'm disappointed with the lack of local places in what appears to be Denvurbia. Â Yuck. Â I feel sorry for y'all that live here and only have mediocre chains to choose from.
This place is big. Â I heard the martinis are great but I didn't order anything of the sort, there with my child, such as I was. Â
I had the tempura salmon roll and while it tasted good it fell apart in chunks when dipped in the shoyu, which was disheartening. Â People need to learn how to properly roll sushi is all I'm saying. Â There's nothing like fishing out grains of rice from the soy sauce bowl. Â Sigh.
My child had the Thai chicken salad which she promptly hated. Â I think it's because, shock of shocks, there were actual vegetables in it. Â I tried it however and thought it was certainly fine enough. Â
My entree was the tempura mahi sandwich which was standard, I guess, sort of what you expect at a chain-type place. Â Tasty if not bland, hearty if not fulfilling. Â
I'll go back and try the bar some day, but all in, based on my one experience, I wasn't overly thrilled.
It was just good enough.
If the staff, service, and atmosphere weren't good, I wouldn't make it a weekly stop. I have a regular lunch meeting with a business partner due to its centrality for us both.
I am a true foodie, a chef, and am writing a new cookbook, I have more than an idea of what makes good food great.
I have ordered mongolian beef on more than one occasion, and though the plate is not outstanding, it is acceptable. Unfortunately, neither the cooks, sous, or executive chef know what a basic Asian seasoning, Hoi Sung is. This pepper oil is a staple seasoning.
The wok dishes seem to be bathed in, rather than touched by oil, and it appears to be a canola or vegetable oil, rather than peanut oil. The closest I have been abl eto get to the pepper oil in there is a brown sauce, Sri Rachaâ„¢, Tabascoâ„¢, or just ordering extra Chinese red peppers with the dish. I like things in the Szechuan style a good bit spicier than most.
From now on I think I will just order a burger with jalapeños and call it a day. Or maybe a salad.
Elephant bar puts the H in happy hour!
Great menu choices for their happy hour ranging from $3 to $6 a plate. Â All the dishes are fresh and tasteful and not the typical greasy fried fare. Â
For $4 get the Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls. Â Wrapped in rice paper you get two delectable rolls that have been cut in half. Â For more delightful freshness try the mozzarella with bruschetta tomatoes accompanied with pita chips.
$5 will get you 6 pieces of tempura salmon roll that's cooked and served warm or a bowl of soy ginger calamari that's not fried beyond recognition. Â Instead they are decent size strips of calamari mixed with julienned vegetables and tossed in an amazing sauce.
$6 will get my two favorites. Â Four skewers of coconut shrimp in a light crunchy batter and perfectly seared ahi tuna with ponzu sauce.
And the drinks are not the norm either. Â Sure you can get a beer or glass of wine but better yet try the fresh mojitos, mai tai or long island ice tea for just $4. Â Just be sure to tell them easy on the ice.
There were 7 of us plus an baby for a birthday lunch.  Service is good and the meals are ok. I have never been truely fond of this place but it is convenient and offers a lot of choices.  We had everything from salads to sandwiches to even  a rice bowl and a steak sandwich. Â
I did mention when I walked in that we were celebrating 2 birthdays and I think it went in one ear and out the other. Â Supposedly they bring ice cream sundaes but not for us. Â Yesterday was my sons actual birthday. Â It was a bummer. Â Oh well. Â We have been celebrating for days now.
I live across the street from E-Bar, and it a good place to grab a meal, whether you're dining in or taking out.
They have a large selection of tasty food, some of my favorites are:
1. Chicken Fingers (fresh and crispy)
2. Patty Melt
3. Tomato bisque
4. French Dip
I've liked everything I had except the Ribs... it might have been a fluke, but they just weren't very well seasoned, it just seemed bland. I'll chalk that up to a fluke.
Otherwise the service is usually quite good, it's a fun setting with odd knick knacks and posters and I always leave with a satisfied stomach.
My husband reminded me that I need to update my review and said I sounded like a loon for criticizing the overbearing odor of the brass bar around the actual bar. I'm sorry! I have a sensitivity to certain smells, but for what it's worth, we sat in the dining area of the bar over the weekend and I could not smell the brass bar.
I'm bumping up a star because despite the menu changes (and the loss of some of my favorites) I was very pleased with the Tempura salmon roll and side salad, as well as the chicken fingers. Did you know that their sweet potato appetizer has 700 calories!? Yeah, I didn't either until I found the info on the menu - and vowed never to eat those fries again. They are delicious, but OMG 700 calories!? Ahhh!
Service can still be lacking at times, but with the discovery of the Tempura salmon roll we'll continue to visit Ebar when we have a craving.
I grew up enjoying their location in Phoenix, now closed. I liked the decor and the interesting blend of Asian and American -- back before they used the word "fusion" to describe it. I was looking forward to checking them out again when I found a location still pumping away in Greenwood Village.
Their strong suit is the rich and varied menu. The weak spot concerns the preparation of some of the items. The shrimp I had added to my pad thai tasted like WD40 or something. The restaurant was packed for lunch, even the bar was full. Since it was a business lunch and we were pressed for time, I didn't bother sending the shrimp back and left it for the landfill. My buddy had a burger and appeared very satisfied.
I would think that a place that tried too hard to be too many things at once would be likely to be not very good at any particular dish or cuisine. That might be the case here.
I'll probably go back, but it's not at the top of the list anymore.
I was delightfully surprised by the atmosphere, menus, and food at Elephant Bar. Although, I was a little disappointed because I wasn't aware how heavily-sided their food options are to Asian/Pacific items.
Overall, my time here was a good experience: I encountered friendly staff, enjoyed a comfortable atmosphere, and had good food at a relatively decent price.
My review is based purely on Happy Hour at the bar, just FYI! Â
Can you beat $2 Margaritas for Happy Hour!? Â I think not! Â Especially when the bartender has a heavy hand! Â In addition to that, they have several great happy hour options (both drinks and food) ranging from $2 - $6. Â And not just crappy, boring stuff either! Â The seared ahi looked delish, and the desserts rocked! Â Super friendly barstaff who kept our drinks full at all times - how much better can you get!?
My husband and I hear that this place is good from many. So we decided to give it a try. He took me out for a nice date. We got a shrimp sampler platter, 3 kinds of shrimp cooked 3 different ways, and calamari all to split.
The calamari was overcooked and like rubber, but the breading was super soggy and not appetizing. The dips it came with weren't good either. We ate maybe 1/4 of it. The coconut fried shrimp that came with our meal were overcooked as well, and my first bite-- the shrimp wasn't clean! It has a dirty vein in it and we all know what's in that.. shrimp poo! I was extremely grossed out. So I was reluctant that our entire meal had shrimp. So each thing I tried I would look before I ate. I left hungry that day.. after spending a good amount of our money. We were thoroughly disappointed in the food and will not be returning.
We've been to this location numerous times and have never been unhappy. Â I would've given this place 4 stars, but last nights' experience changed that. Â
We were seated quickly but a very friendly (almost too friendly) hostess. Â Our server brought us our drinks (delish strawberry lemonade) and our appetizer arrived soon after. Â We ordered the salmon tempura roll. Â It was good, but we remember it tasting better during other visits.
I ordered a shrimp dish and my husband ordered braised lamb. Â His dish was HORRENDOUS. Â It looked at tasted rubbery. Â My dish was above average and I enjoyed it.
After the assistant server (I never know what to call the people who bring out your meals but aren't your server) brought our meals out, we never saw our server until the end of the meal. Â He apologized, saying he was serving an 8 person party. Â He asked how everything was and my husband told him the lamb was not good. Â The server apologized and quickly offered to take it off the bill and bring my husband something else. Â We were heading to a movie, and my husband was pretty full from the side dishes and the appetizer, so he didn't want anything else. Â The price was adjusted accordingly and we left.
We would return to this location, as this was the first bad meal we encountered there.
Oh man, I haven't had Elephant Bar since my days out in San Fran years ago. I love it soooo much that you can imagine my delight when I found out there was a location right by the hotel we were staying at for my friends wedding!!! We all gathered up and put last minute wedding plans on hold as we devoured amazing food and drink!!
The service was top notch. Six of us came and though it was really busy (Saturday night AND Homecoming), we were seated immediately. The waitress was absolutely awesome. Our drinks NEVER made it to empty before another was brought out to us!
I ordered the Santa Barbara Burger (1/2lb burger with avocado on it. YUMMM). It was amazing. A little undercooked (i love well done) yet still amazing. Everyone ordered different dishes and I tried a little of the teriyaki chicken. Again, AMAZING. Last but not least, the garlic bread. WOW. just WOW.
As far as drinks go, I went with the strawberry lemonade which has real strawberries pureed and mixed in. Best strawberry lemonade EVER.
So glad I found this place in Colorado (where I'm at far more often than Cali)!!!
Food was good. Â It just wasn't what i ordered.. Â Twice..
Me: "How is the Crispy Honey Orange Shrimp"
Server: "I haven't had it, but it is very popular and people seem to like it"
Me: "I'll take it."
Order arrives.
Me: "I'm sorry, but is this Crispy Honey Orange Shrimp?"
Server: "Oh, I'm sorry, I put in an order for Crispy Teryaki Chicken"
Me: "It looks ok, but it is not what I want."
Server: "I'll get that fixed right away"
Then he tells a coworker whose order was missing broccoli that she requested that he forgot it and would get it fixed.
10 minutes pass. Â Co-workers have finished or are close to finishing their meal.
Server: "Here you go"
I look at my plate. Â Crispy Honey Orange CHICKEN! Â ARGH!
I ate it. Â It was good. Â I wanted shrimp.
I'm iffy about this place.
We went last evening for an early dinner.
By coincidence, they were also debuting their new menu (novel).
We ordered the Tempura Salmon Rolls for our app, and they were pretty good. We chose them for the obvious reason of having them at other places and liking them, but the picture in the menu (ok...it's a novella. it has a table of contents) made them look big, with a golden brown, even, crunchy tempura coating...what we got were about half the size in circumference, and it looked like about half the crust had flaked off somewhere on the way to our table. The taste was great though.
But, you know what they say...you first eat with your eyes.
For the entrees, my boyfriend got the Quick Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. He thought it was ok.
I'd never had Seared Ahi, so I was anxious to try a piece. Well, as expected, it was raw in the middle, but a few pieces seemed over 'quick seared'. Kinda like they might have been end pieces or something...and they got over cooked? And the pieces of tuna were luke warm? Is that normal? I didn't ask my boyfriend, as I didn't really think about it till after I got to work today. Normal or not, I didn't really enjoy it.
My entree was a Noodle and Vegetable Soup with Shrimp, and some type of Sushi combo. (Can't remember the exact name). That was alright, I suppose. The shrimp was a little larger than cocktail size...the picture made them look much bigger. Overall, the taste was pretty ok.
Through our dinner, the waiter was kinda jittery. That's always pleasant.
How many times do I have to be asked if 'everything tastes ok'? Once during apps, once during entree, leave me alone. Not twice during each. Then when he dropped the check, he disappeared for quite a bit of time. Like 10 minutes. We were doing the 'chicken neck'. You know....you kept seeing our heads rise above the rest of the patrons as we were looking for our waiter. When he finally made it back, he apologized for 'disappearing'.
Bottom line...we probably won't go back. It wasn't terrible, but we can find other places to spend our money, and have a better experience, all at the same time.
Yes it's a great place for that metro feel. Â I love sitting near or in the bar because of the cool giraffes! Â Now the food here is good! Â My favorites are the coconut shrimp skewers and their creme brulee is VERY good! Â The main menu has so many good things that you can't go wrong with anything you choose.
Prices are reasonable and they have a fantastic wine list!!!
