We were at this restaurant about two months ago and had a great meal. The food and service was excellent. We went again last night with admittedly high expectations and left disappointed. We still had a nice time as it is a nice restaurant and the food was not terrible. It's just that nothing was great. The service wasn't great and our waitress only showed up when she had something to deliver (our food) or to drop the bill. She came by only once to ask us how our meal was. I ordered a glass of wine because I didn't like the champagne we ordered (it was sitting almost full in front of me). She didn't ask or notice that I hadn't taken barely a sip of it. After ordering the wine we didn't see her again for about 10 minutes upon which she delivered the wine saying your food is right behind me and we didn't see her again until we were well into our dinner.\r

My husband ordered the Japanese Hamachi Ceviche which just wasn't very good. The fish tasted too strong almost like it was about to turn. I had a caesar salad which was really good and I gave half of it to my husband. For our main courses my husband had the cedar plank roasted salmon. The waitress indicated it was served medium rare. In reality it wasn't medium-rare and was almost overcooked. The rest of his plate was equally unimpressive with a sticky gob of rice and a huge spear of broccoli. I had two appetizers for my dinner, the seared diver sea scallop trio and the beef with noodles. These were okay, nothing fabulous though my husband loved the beef (it was very tender) so I ended up giving him most of that.\r

My wine (after the failed glass of champage) was great, a pinot noir. We ordered dessert which was also really good. My husband ordered malt ice cream which wasn't on the menu by itself but the waitress accomodated him when he asked which was nice. I had the chocolate cake which was really good but they dropped about 10 rasberries which are out of season and subsequently tasted out of season.
