    It was excellent and it wasn't! Appetizers were very good! They asked if we wanted white or fried rice which comes with the meal, we opted for fried rice but we we were charged for chicken fried rice which we didn't order, and extra $30 for the 4 of us. The scallops and calamari were excellent but the shrimp and meat were overcooked, dry and tough! Filet Mignon should melt in your mouth and that definitely wasn't the case?? It was my birthday, I ordered one drink, a Baby Blue Ocean for $17.50 and if it had any alcohol in it it was imperceptible?? We did have a good time! The cook put on a good show as usual. All in all it was good.

    We stumbled upon this place on a whim - what an unexpected experience! You gotta try it out. From its simple yet welcoming ambiance, super friendly & informative service to the exquisitely flavorful food, it was all superb. And rest assured, the prices are par for the Bay Area. Can't wait to go back and experience more of their varied menu. Highly recommended.
