Problem: WARNING! We sat right by the Bar/Kitchen. First of all, tables should not be put where you can be knocked in the head by a box/carton of anything. We could see straight into the bar-tending Pick-up area. I looked up and saw 3 glasses of red drinks. A waitress took one straw, swirled the drink, put the straw IN HER MOUTH and TASTED IT, did not change the straw, and TOOK IT OUT TO SERVE!!! Hello Disease! Now for the real review - 8:40pm 4/10/11 Showed up early on a Mon night for 9:15pm reservation, hostess said we were not on the list, very unprofessional. Was told to wait on the non-reservation line. Terrible. 9:40pm 4/10/11 Staff: Our Waiter was great, attentive but not overbearing Food: Appetizers: DELICIOUS Thai Crab Cakes with mango chili sauce - HOLY COW THIS WAS EXCELLENT! It may be REAL crabmeat! Pork Potstickers with a chili sesame glaze - Pretty Darn Good! Peking Duck Spring Roll with hoisin sauce - Not as good as the traditional Peking Duck Bun but it was pretty fun in a spring roll presentation. Entrees: Eh Wasabi Crusted Filet Mignon with tempura of onion rings - It was not crusted... the (yummy) "crust" was a tiny bit on TOP of the Filet Mignon. The onion rings were terrible. Battered with no spices. The steak was cooked perfectly but a bit on the salty side. Tao Shabu Shabu kobe beef cooked in a ginger scallion broth with wasabi dipping sauce - The 1 oz ($17) of Kobe Beef was 2-3 THIN slices of beef (2in x 1in). Broth tasted like soy. The sauce was all soy tasting too.

Problem: last time I went here the bartender was more worried about giving his friends shots, eating his food and drinking coffee than to take my order. when he finally realized me standing there with my money in my hand five minutes later he acted as if i inconvienced him. Gave him a two dollar tip on a drink, went back up to bar the second time he didn't notice me again, and i got his attention by saying "hey man i just need an empty glass" then he walk past me and the empty glasses across from me takes a dudes order who just walked up and grabs a glass after helping him so he oviously heard me.

Problem: This was my 3rd time here and I'm really starting to like this place. I really like the decor which is pretty dimly lit, modern, etc. It has a really nice vibe and looks almost exactly like Houstons. The service was excellent, the food came out quickly and everything was very tasty. Here are the highlights I would go back for in an instant: * Grilled Artichokes - they were excellent and so was the aioli they serve it with * WGC Bacon Blue Cheese Salad - excellent and even the "side" salad portion was sizable * Honey Roasted Carrots - I never thought I would actually like to eat carrots but these were phenomenal and an excellent side * Corn Salad - this was also an excellent side. Fresh cut corn off the cob with some other stuff in a light dressing. Very very good. I ordered some steak thing that was a special. It wasn't memorable so next time I'm going to stick to what is on the regular menu. My wife ordered the trout and it was excellent. I have to say thought my favorite was their bread pudding. Wow. Just Wow. I want that for dinner next time.

Problem: Second visit. I had the Denver Sandwich and it was yummy. It's a mini Denver omelet sandwiched in sourdough. The oatmeal was really good too. Served with milk, raisins, and brown sugar just added the raisins and brown sugar and it was good to go. Looking forward to another visit...soon!
