"I was quite surprised to see this restaurant with a 4-star review. My experience was far from what I had expected. I attended a dinner party with 6 guests and started with the meatballs, which were lacking in substance. The texture was dry and the sauce seemed like a plain spaghetti sauce. The bruschetta followed, with soggy toast but tasty mozzarella, tomato, and basil. I wasn't a fan of the calamari's shape, but the breading was decent. The Caesar salad was good, but the main entree lacked originality. The teriyaki sauce tasted store-bought, and the salmon was overcooked despite my request for medium doneness. The black rice was undercooked in some parts and dried out in others. As an Asian person, I could tell that the ingredients were not cooked properly. The green beans side dish was tasty, though. I decided to skip dessert out of fear of more disappointment and left for another restaurant. I was very displeased with the slow service, dirty silverware, and mediocre atmosphere. I would rate the food and service a 3, and the atmosphere a 3 as well."
