Their salmon salad was rather small for a entree and their dessert was decent. ”

It was the famous dessert platter equipped with cotton candy, home made cookies, snowballs, chocolate cupcakes, caramel corn, and a milkshake that would make Kelis proud and bring "all da boyz in da yard! ”
- “
Not what you'd think of as a traditional cheesecake presentation but I loved this dessert. ”

The highlight of the evening was the delightful junkfood sampler dessert. ”

Margarita pizza, tuna dynamite and tomato goat cheese soup were the highlights of the appetizers; ahi tuna and shortribs for the entrees; junk food dessert platter with fresh peanut butter ice cream. ”
- “
The side dishes, however, follow the New American cookie cutter mold (mac n' cheese, creamed spinach, onion rings, etc.) Appitizers were phenomenal- the yellowtail carpacio is fresh and light; the Tuna Dynamite is an interesting blend of texture. ”
