Aah! It's another mall restaurant!
What we had:
Appetizers.
Double Stuffed Potato Spring Rolls
Creamy Mashed Potatoes with a Touch of Green Onion, Rolled in Crispy Asian Wrappers Topped with Melted Cheddar, Applewood Smoked Bacon and Green Onion. Served with Sour Cream
This was my DH's favorite appetizer of the night. This grown-up potato skin was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, and looked really good on the plate. Baked, not fried. The applewood bacon's taste didn't come across as applewood--a term I think is bandied about way too freely.
Duck Potstickers
Duck Breast, Shiitake Mushrooms and Crispy Vegetables in a Spicy Hoisin Sauce. Steamed then Sauteed until Crisp
This was our least favorite. The sauce was decent (though I thought it was Ponzu), and the dumplings were cooked well, but you couldn't tell the meat was duck. It tasted like pork.
Asian Nachos
Crispy Fried Wontons Covered with Chicken in a Sweet-Hot Peanut Sauce. Topped with Wasabi Cream and Melted Cheese
Décor:
They were going for something--my DH and I had a difference of opinion of exactly what. He thought Asian, I thought grande European hotel ballroom. Either way, it was interesting, though the jewel toned and billiard green velvet booths totally didn't go.
Service:
Our server was knowledgeable and helpful.
