This is one of those restaurants that I knew I shouldn't expect great food from, but still visited regardless because of the aesthetic and hype, in hopes of it living up to the raving reviews. My sister made a 12p reservation my family because she knew I wanted to try it ever since they rebranded out of JJ French Pastry & Bistro years ago. We got to the restaurant and were confused on whether to check in inside, or wait outside for a server. We waited about 5 minutes before getting checked in and were shown to our table. It took a while for the server to come back after we initially told her we needed a minute. We got 3 entrees, 3 cakes and a small corn soup to share among the 4 of us. We waited a little over 45 minutes for our food and in the meantime we looked at the cake choices. The worker that helped us from thereafter, Lesly, was really nice (and a fellow #ARMY!) and gave us all her best cake recommendations. The Yellow Curry (tofu - $14) came with a cute little jasmine rice pyramid and although I did enjoy the curry, it was a bit lacking in flavor when it comparing it to my other favorite thai restaurants. the Soft Shell Crab BLT ($16) was fried nicely and I liked the addition of the avocado, but the dressing of the salad seeped all onto the bottom of the bun, making it really soggy, while the top bun was quite dry. The Cheese Ravioli with Lobster ($22; 5 pcs) had great flavor, and we chose the pink sauce (other options; red or white) which was a nice balance from the cream sauce and umami from the tomato sauce. although the lobster and all the veggies were cooked very well, the ravioli skin was a little too thick for my liking. The Cream of Corn ($5) had a weird texture from the corn since they creamed it just enough so that there were tiny kernels that almost felt like bits of quinoa speckled throughout the soup, instead of full kernels or a fully creamed soup. The Strawberry Shortcake $5.95 wasn't super sweet which I loved and had layers of cream and strawberry between the cake, but I think the cake itself was a tad bit too dry for me. Same with the famous Chocolate Pyramid ($6.95) - it was super rich and decadent, but the cake at the bottom again was just the slightest bit too dry. The Macadamia Tart ($6.50) had a nice, thick, buttery crust and was speckled with whole macadamia nuts. This was probably my favorite dessert. All of the dishes and desserts were quite average to us, and since all the seating is outside, I felt like we were swatting flies for a good majority of the second half of our meal. I'm really glad I finally got a chance to try it, and I'm super thankful for the kind, helpful service, but it's not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon. read more
