I ordered the Dinner menu (3 course menu): $72/person + tax + 20% tip ~ $95

- Appertizer: Tartare of Ahi Tuna (if you like raw tuna/fish, this is good but in a small portions)
- Main Entree: John Dory (Smoke Duck - Yummy!)
- Exotic Composition (very delicious, yogurt/jello like dessert w/passion fruit cream & Lychee)

Will I go back there again? I agreed with Kris. If I am paying it myself, no way I am going back there.

We had 11 people last night. The bill was over $3K

Well, my boss did order white wine, red wine and champagne (cost about $650/bottle). We had a great times. Especially us who didn't have to pay for the bill
