A: Has been going downhill for years. Used to be my favorite place. Recommend they dig out menus and decor from 10 years back. Tries to be upscale, but fails. It was better when it was fun and friendly.
Q: positive

A: Theyhave such a large variety such a large menu I recommend starting off at the student special if you are a student
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: Wish I could give a lower rating than 1 star because FOOD POISONING should be negative stars since I was forced to lose my entire dinner. First off, we saved our first experience for the house of tricks for a special occasion. My 25th birthday: a reason to celebrate. Little did I know that the appetizer of PEI mussels would grant me the birthday gift of hunching over the toilet for the rest of the night. We ordered another appetizer as well. The soup of the day. it was explained to me as a roasted butternut squash soup. However, when we got it, it was full of Indian curry flavors and topped with feta cheese. No one ever said that it would be Indian squash soup. We found the curry taste to be so overpowering that we ended up sending it back (we had Indian for lunch and were not in the mood for more). The server was gracious and said she would take care of it but, as the bowl made its way back into the kitchen, we could HEAR the loud kitchen crew complaining that we didn't "know what good curry tastes like!" Well i may not make my own garam masala from scratch but I DO know that i was never told that there would be curry in my soup and I ALSO KNOW that Indian food it NEVER topped with GREEK cheese! Fools. But the meal ventures on. Entrees. We ordered the lychee marinated duck breast and the "Everything Spiced Ahi tuna". The duck tasted NOTHING of lychee. it tasted of star anise, clove, ginger, and plum sauce. Very similar to the taste of pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). in fact, it tasted almost identical without the soup. If I wanted pho, i would go down the street and get it for $7, NOT get dressed up and pay $25 for a dried excuse for a pho-flavored duck breast. Sad. The "everything" spiced ahi tasted as if it should have been named the "Nothing Spiced Ahi Tuna". Bland bland bland. the couscous accompaniment tasted like nothing. the sliver of sabayon given to lend flavor was barely adequate to make up for the overwhelming blandness. it was bland in the way that silence can be deafening. This "rollercoaster" of flavor costs $27. Sad. We ordered dessert in an attempt to make SOMETHING of the mere memorable. We were poorly mistaken. Blackberry cobbler. we got a single casserole dish with warm blackberry jam and half a biscuit baked on top. Small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Only good part was the ice cream but, then again... can't mess up store bought ice cream now can you? All in all: a $130 disaster. top it all off with food poisoning and I think you have the worst restaurant experience ever. The only saving grace was the server, who was sweet and responsive. The kitchen was full of LOUD retards who think they know how to cook. The food was even sadder for us because the empty-promised great-hype and were saving H.O.T. for a special occasion. With so much hype and the menu's promise of greatness, the harsh reality of sub-par execution left us somber and bewildered. Dumbstruck. Then... nauseous. Side note: this menu isn't even seasonal. We went in May; it is now September and... SAME MENU! NASTY.

Output: I don't know, maybe I came in on a off night. I'm certainly willing to give them another try, but here is what I experienced on my visit. On first impression, I love the decor and feel of the restaurant. They got that 100% right. However, there was something missing that I couldn't put my finger on...that night (Wednesday) it wasn't very busy so there was no hustle/bustle to give the place a warm vibe or maybe it was the sound system and how the music didn't really fill the room. Not sure, but it felt like we were the last table in a restaurant that was about the close for the night. Just a little too quite. I'd actually give the food 3/4 stars. It was decent. I think my favorite was the crispy gnocchi and would love to see that as a meal...it was darn good. Where the night went wrong was partly due to the staff. It wasn't that they were not friendly, they were, just inexperienced and their "professionalism" seemed forced, which if they are new to serving tables I understand it takes time to get your mo-jo going. Our appetizers came out on time and when I asked the person who delivered them (not our server) what type of bread came with the spinach and crab dip, as there were two different types served, his answer was, "I don't know. I can ask the chef if you want". I feel like if you work at a restaurant and you are one of the people that brings food to the table, you should be well aware of the menu and what is on it. Maybe it was his first night on the job...who knows. At least he offered to ask the chef, I guess. After the appetizers my soup came out and then shortly after he said our entrees would be out shortly. They then delivered one entree followed by about a 10 minute wait...there was four of us in the party, so we were waiting on 3 more entrees. They then delivered one more entree, still nothing on the other two, just apologies for the wait. I even asked the waiter what was the hold up on the entrees, to which he answered "I'm not sure, let me ask them". Hummm...we've been waiting now for 15 minutes + just to get out entrees served and you are apologizing, but you don't know why you are apologizing. When our entrees finally did come out the manager (I assume) finally gave us the reason...our steaks had been over cooked and they had to redo them. Which, if they would have told us that right from the get go then I would have been understanding to the wait. Also, while we were waiting during all of this the manager brought out a free appetizer, the spinach and crab dip, which we had already had. It was a nice gesture, but also shows that there was no communication between the server and manager. Why bring a table something they've already tried? Why not ask us what we would prefer considering we were the ones inconvenienced. I hope it does improve and will go back another time over a weekend, perhaps to see if I can have a better experience.

Decided to check out WBiTB after reading lots of great yelp reviews. I ordered the Mushroom soup with dumplings. There were at least three different kinds of mushrooms (enoki, and two others I can't name) and lots of them! The dumplings were gyoza style, and obviously homemade. really light, fresh taste, all garnished with green onion and shredded carrot. $14 seems a little bit pricy for a bowl of soup, given that most of the menu items were $10 or less, but I can't complain about the quality. Really tasty stuff, filling but not heavy. The service was very warm and friendly as well. I'll definitely be back, and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu offerings.
