Nice casual restaurant serving fine dining. The hostess was really nice helping us find the rest of our party who were partially hidden. The waiter came promptly as everyone in our party arrived one by one.\n\nFor appetizers we had the following:\n\n1) Pork tostada - I like the description, but the pork was cooked to the point where it\n was too mushy for our group. I wanted the pork to have more texture. It would\n also been nice to put some serrated lines on the tostada before frying it so it\n breaks along the lines instead of a million pieces.\n\n2) Smoked salmon - all I can say is the women in the group wanted to lick the\n plate. Our favorite dish.\n\n3) Pork belly - tender and juicy as it melts in your mouth. . Great with the\n accompanying vegetables..\n\nEveryone in our group has the pork flatiron. They didn't ask how we wanted it prepared. It came out medium-rare which is how I like my meats, but not everyone in my group likes it that way. The rare section of the pork was extremely chewy to the point where I had problems trying to eat the piece. The outer section of the\npork was not chewy and melted in my mouth. It was a large portion so everyone\njust started eating the outer portion which was delicious along with the accompanying vegetables. \n\nService was excellent except I had to ask to get my ice tea refilled. The waiter\nwas extremely patient with my friends who tends to ask question after question.\n\nThe wide assortment of beer was really nice. Also they had some interesting mixed drinks like the \"Miss Piggy\" which had li hing mui to give it a sweet, sour and salty taste.\n\nI'm hoping for great things for this restaurant. Great menu, but I believe execution still needs work. I hope they have special event dinners like Citizen Public House.\nI would have given it four stars, but the price reflects a higher quality restaurant so\nI'm less tolerant of problems.
