Just had dinner tonight here.

Started out with the tea smoked duck w/bun and crab/shrimp fritters.

Duck was dry and just ok. Crab/shrimp fritters tasted as if some old/bad seafood was added, taste was way off and not fresh.

For Entrees

A special of pan seared scallops and shrimp with a Veracruz like sauce, strange and not good.

Crabmeat Pad Thai was good but just as good is the $5 pad thai elsewhere.

My guess is if I had tried the curries I would have had the same attitude as the pad thai, probably good but just good does not justify the price as there is excellent elsewhere for less money.

I've gone a couple times and had an appetizer/entree/dessert special...I think it's about $25pp with a more limited menu choice (but includes an appetizer platter with about 4 items pp). Assuming they're still offering it, I thought it was worth the price. The pad thai I remembered was shrimp and crabmeat, which is something I haven't found in many places, was tasty and large enough to provide leftovers the next day.
