The interior decor is nicer than the strip mall suggests. This seems to be true in Arizona a lot. The special that evening was Cajun shrimp with Anchovy Sauce, but I wasn't in the mood for those flavors as I was eating a bit early. This was to be a light meal.\n\nI ordered the clams in broth. 20 clams in a nice bowl, but the broth was very heavy on black pepper. I would have preferred, buttery or white wine or other flavors, but there were only green scallions to fight for dominance. The clams were ok, but some were gritty. I ordered a spicy salmon roll and that was very good. I liked the roe on the outside of the roll and the roll stayed intact as I brought it to my mouth. My partner got the Ahi with glaze and it was prepared perfectly, although the glaze was heavy handed. The tea was nice. My Raspberry Spritzer had a flavor I couldn't determine and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I actually added water to it, to soften the flavor and that's not something I've done often anywhere. The dessert case didn't have all the selections, but from my partners perspective the cheesecake looked nice, but when it was delivered it looked like the flan selection. oops. That tall white thing we saw was a vanilla cake, not the cheesecake. The actual cheesecake was shrunken and covered with a light brown sauce. I tolerated only one bite, it was dry, it was old and it was sour tasting, and we just left it on the table. Yuck. \n\nDespite the 2 stars this visit we will likely return. I think there are better things on the menu and more things to try. I won't bother with desserts of fancy drinks next time.
