text: I just cannot figure out how this place got so many stars by so many people nnMy sis and I picked up our friend at the airport on friday night and we were hungry So we looked up a good restaurant on trusty Yelp to help us decide We fell on this place which got great reviews and seemed like it would be fun and delicious nnWe found the place pretty quickly and stepped right in We were quickly seated but service was slow throughout After about min we finally got our drinksOUR DRINKS My companions got drinks and they tasted bitter Not worth in my opinionnnThe food itself was a disappointment We ordered their Korean short ribs ginger mint duck salad beach mushrooms and chicken lollipopsnnMy issue is not the size of the dishes we all knew what tapas are so we were already expecting small portions but with those small portions and the amount of money we were paying we expected good food Instead we got pretentious food with unbalanced flavor If you are going to dress up my food make sure it tastes as good as it looksnn The Korean short ribs were okay except for the fact that it was drowned in a very sweet sauce If the ribs were DRIZZLED with the sauce I think it would have been very successfulnn Ginger mint duck salad I thought the duck was well cooked but the sauce was overpowering and bitternn Chicken lollipops were way too salty I had to drink water with every bite of the chickennn The only saving grace was the beach mushrooms It was balanced and just plain delicious It was a little awkward to eat but I could easily get over that since the dish was such a treat If all of my other dishes were as good as this one I would be raving about this place nnSo after all of this we did not even want dessert which is a shame because I love dessert and it was my birthday Poor excuse of a meal for the price I expected more Not sure if it is the prettiness of the place that people fall in love with but for me the food was not up to par
