(3) (3.3) (2.9) (2.7) (3.1)The Ceviche Mixto appetizer was very good. I give it 4 out of 5.
But the entree which was Arroz con Mariscos was way too salty. Had no kick at all. I'm not Peruvian, but when I googled how this dish should be made, it sounds like it should have some spice to it.
Unfortunately, the dish that I got was all salt and grease and no spice.
Couldn't return the entree as I got it for takeout.
I'm usually really leery of these kind of restaurants as they are usually all show and no go.
But I was surprised with this place. Very fresh food and great value for your money.
They don't put on such an extravagant show as some other places, but if you seen one, you've seen them all.
However, this is a place to go if you actually want to be full. If you go as a pair, I recommend that you get one meat lovers meal and one seafood lovers meal to share.
Seafood consisted of salmon, huge scallops, oysters, squid, lobster tail and jumbo prawns.
For the meat, we chose filet mignon, rib eye and lamb chops.
You also get soup, salad, veggies, seafood fried rice and fried noodles, oh and gellato too!
We decided to venture over to Kits to try this place out since I had a Groupon. I didn't know what to expect since this place was fairly new. This place is small and quaint in the heart of Kits; 7 small tables and bartop seating. Service was good but the food took a while. We ordered a lamb dish and a chicken dish, both curry dishes of course. The portion size was adequate for the price but I found the appitizers to be smaller than expected for that price. Overall, the flavour was quite good and the curry had some kick in it which was nice as I like my Indian food to have some spice. Would I recommend this place to a friend or revisit this establishment again? Maybe, if I was in the Kits area and I was craving curry that day but I don't think I would selectively pick this restaurant as my go-to place for Indian.
Should have known better as this place was recommended by a 'friend'. You know, everyone has one of those 'friends' that must get the latest over price gadget. The same kind of person that wrongly believes that outrageously expensive must be good.
Well, curiosity got the best of me so I decided to see what the hype was all about. Plus, if I'm gonna talk smack about a place, I might as well check it out in person.
My bf and I went and ordered the chef special which is $120 for 6 dishes. They should clarify that it is really $120 for 6 appetizers, actually, the portions were even smaller. They were the same size as the samples at Costco.
And the worst part was there was nothing special at all about any of the dishes. Half the dishes I could cook myself. And the other half was just regular sushi/sashimi that you could get at Temaki.
For that price I expect to be served some kind of rare expensive seafood, not just regular salmon and tuna that I could get at any other Japanese place.
Oh well, live and learn. And now I can tell everyone, DO NOT GET SUCKERED BY THE HYPE. Just cause a restaurant is mentioned in some magazine means squat.
Plus, we were there on a Saturday night and it was absolutely dead. Including ourselves there was two other tables, guess everyone already knows what a rip off this place is.
Do not go to this place for dinner. It does have a nice patio right on the water and the interior is nice but that is it.
The portions are really small and the food itself is nothing special. Not worth the high price tag.
And especially the service. Just saw the waiter twice all night. Once to take our orders, and return with the food. Never refilled the water or even bother to check on us.
The restaurant was not even half full which shouldn't be a surprise as this place is expensive with nothing to show.
Usually restaurants that are part of hotels are not the greatest.
Hence, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The decor is top notch with high ceilings but what do you expect, it is part of a 5 star hotel.
The menu is fairly classic and since we went with a fair size party we were able to try pretty much most of the entrees. Tried their different steaks, prime rib and seafood. Unfortunately the salmon was too dry but everything else was above average. Servings were larger than you would expect at an upscale restaurant.
The biggest surprise was the value of this place. They allowed us to use 3 Entertainment coupons. And each entree came with the unlimited desert buffett which is a nice bonus.
This place has the best menu of any all you can eat hot pot. Lots of different types of soup bases, meats, veggies and especially seafood.
Where else can you get huge prawns, oysters, mussels and fish.
We also totally took advantage of the all you can eat and pigged out like crazy!! Since it was slow, we stayed almost 3 hours. Ate so much that I was actually dizzy! Got me worried that you could OD on food.
There's a reason you should make a reservation even on weeknights. This place is always packed and for good reason.
Probably some of the best rolls in town. And to top it off, the portions are actually a decent size, you actually walk out of this place full!
Highlights are the raw oysters, tuna tataki, beef tataki, any of the rolls.
The only thing that sucks is the scallop motoyaki.
Got suckered to go because it was a friend's birthday. This place is such a rip off, and everything took forever.
Even though we made reservations, they did not seat us for close to an hour!!!
The menu is a complete rip off as the food is nothing special at all.
They might as well just rob you when you walk in. At least that would have been quicker and less agonizing than dealing with them.
They can't even make steak correct. Ask for rare and you get well done. Brilliant.
Waitress was also useless and full of attitude.
This place is a complete tourist trap and don't get suckered to go because you have a dumb friend that believes in hype.
Remember, you can't eat the view. Maybe just go for drinks, but even their coffee tastes like crap.
After reading all the reviews I usually expect the worse about a place. I guess it was because we went on a weeknight and we went early so the service was not bad at all.
We got the mussels and calamari to start. I would definitely order the mussels again. And a good deal for $12.
The buns were nice and warm. Soft on the inside and toasty on the outside. Perfect to go with the sauce of both appetizers.
For the main course we shared the butter lemon veal and rib eye. Veal was a little too lemony. The steak was great, I mean, how can you mess up steak?
The portions were decent, did not feel ripped off.
The highlight was the tiramisu and really good Americano.
Will return to take advantage of their 3 course menu.
