i've been a fan of flying star for many, many years. i've spent more time in their restaurants than i care to admit. the food is tasty, innovative. has quality ingredients. is well-prepared. lots of variety.\r
\r
but let me tell you, their coffee is awful. grossly overroasted. i'd rather consume office coffee that's languished on a hotplate for 4 hours than flying star's offering. i've never understood why the management insists on peddling that stuff.\r
\r
but it's about the only blemish on an otherwise fine dining experience.
Pros: Creative menu, quality food, relaxed but tasteful decor
Cons: Was that coffee or charcoal tea I ordered? Service can be slow.
