I was encouraged that the menu has been updated with new items, while preserving some of their best offerings - I swear the Shanghai Delight is laced with Prozac because I'm always happy when I eat it. This time I tried one of their new "naked" offerings, hoping the fish would be allowed to shine. I had the grilled redfish, which was done perfectly - the very thin edges were a little crisp and carmelized but the fish was still moist and flavorful. I did miss the bread - this was one of the few restaurants in town that started with something with substance, so I was quite disappointed when a little crock of crackers appeared instead of bread. The restaurant is very noisy - I was ok hearing my companions but certainly couldn't hear the server well.

Excellent food. Try the soft shell crab appetizer if it's in season and the spring rolls. Yum! read more Excellent food. Try the soft shell crab appetizer if it's in season and the spring rolls. Yum!

We started with an appetizer of sliced meats with homemade pickles and whole grain mustard. We had a wedge salad topped with bacon, egg, blue cheese tomatoes andhomemade buttermilk dressing, this salad was absolutely delicious. My wife had the squash soup which had a sweet flavor whichshe loved but was just ok to me. The 35oz tomahawk ribeye steak was amazing, cooked medium rare and full of flavor! The sidedish was carrots that had smoked honey, harissa spice, and toasted almonds. We both agreed it was just ok. The spice tastedlike a chili powder and paprika mixture and I couldn't really notice the smoked honey. Overall, it was a great meal andexperience and would highly recommend this place and will be back to try something else like the fried chicken.
