Had the Calamari and Hamachi-Tartar. Tartar was great with chopped up onions, and something slightly crunchy and sweet like jiacama, cilantro, lemongrass, tons of flavor. The Calamari was good but I think I like it better w/o the batter fried. The cilantro emulsion was a very tasty dipping sauce.
The dinner entrees said "small plate" but I thought it wasn't that small. We ate the lemongrass bass. Nice portion actually. I like the side of noodle since it had sliced mango on top. Nice touch as I like a little sweet. The 5 spice duck was cooked very well, but it was just Okay. We had two orders of jasmine rice. Rice comes in these cute baskets wrapped in a banana leaf.
I was full but since the waiter slipped the dessert menu to us ever so cleverly. . . we shared the tapioca w/ passion fruit and lemon grass sorbet. Sweet but not too sweet, ahh nice ending.
Pretty pricey place, but food was good.
