On our last visit, the special was a sausage, kale, curry, coconut (I think) soup and it was so delicious. We often have their soup specials and they are unique and delicious every time we go.

Lovely place .. modern and minimalistic. The staff was a little alouf but efficient…read more The reviews were so good that I was expecting much better than we had. The brisket eggrolls were boring .. literally brisket, deep fried with BBQ sauce. The steak was unseasoned and served room temp (notice even the butter placed on top did not melt). I specifically asked if the grilled hamberry sandwich was actually grilled.. waiter stated Yes. Well no.. it was pieces of toast with the insides placed between. The cheese was not even melted. Thr saving grace were the mash potatoes and homemade chips .. super flavorful!!!

The garbage cans were overflowing, the place for the dirty dishes were overflowing with dirty dishes at both locations, the coffee bar was filthy, lemonade was almost empty, lids were almost out, no large cups were. Ordered a broccoli Mac and cheese bread bowl and got broccoli cheese soup instead. The waitress said that they rang up the wrong order and we used the kiosk to order it. Then they said they never made the broccoli and that it would be another minute to make, even though they gave us a broccoli bread bowl soup without saying anything. This was by far the worst experience I've had coming here

Yet I settled on chai tea, butter chicken and garlic naan. Perfectly cooked rice with chicken simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce flavored with butter, garlic, ginger, and warm spices. I asked for medium heat but it was very mild. Garlic naan was soft, fluffy flatbread traditionally brushed with butter and topped with fresh garlic and herbs. It was super good when dipped in the butter chicken sauce. This makes me crave lentil soup and lemon rice.

We got the scallops which were ICE cold and really not that good. We also got the lobster ravioli which had decent taste but they were underdone and just chewy.

Let me be clear that my problem isn't with the service or restaurant itself, it was just the food was horrible.
