Broadway Location is better!

Came on soft opening day. Service was great - our server checked on our table several times. Loved the modern decor which is a refreshing change from many of the mom and pop restaurants in South Hill. The slight down side is that the price is higher than at those other restaurants. Dishes were all well presented. The Thai chicken salad had a light and refreshing vinaigrette. The photo broth was flavorful without being too greasy. My favorite dish was the beef luc lac which had just the right hint of sweetness and had nice chunks of steak.

Inflexible and inexperienced service staff. Needs refinement. I don't mind an open kitchen, but close off the service station below the window into the kitchen. Looks messy. Invest in wine glasses, I don't want to drink a nice wine out of a dirty mason jar. Aren't we over mason jars yet?? I like the decor, especially the floor tile, but the lighting is too bright/jarring even when they dimmed it. Never got to the food as we were too put off with the first 15 minutes. Too bad cuz the one dish I saw going by looked tasty. I was excited by something new and hip coming to this part of Fraser st, hopefully they are able to smooth out the rough edges and stick around.
