General impressions:
A trying-hard-to-impress restaurant with dress code.
Vietnamese fusion cuisine, known for its roasted crabs.Good service. Very hard to park.Very fresh lobster, okay mango salsa. Could be better.Interesting crab, but the crab is quite thin and not really meaty. Too early in the season, perhaps. Cuisine style does not really bring out all the sweetness and characteristic of a Dungeness crab.Garlic noodles: good first impression, full garlic flavor with sweetness. Firm, chewy noodles. When cold, became greasy.
Note:Would go to PPQ instead.
