The staff was incredibly helpful with finding things that I could have on the menu. Our server was very willing to ask the chef any questions I had about ingredients and sauces. You can get any of the pasta dishes they can make them with gluten free pasta upon request along with getting any handhelds on a gluten free bun. I landed on the Poke Bowl, I subtracted the aioli and ponzu because they were not gluten free. I removed the picked ginger out of my personal preference. To replace the sauces I removed I asked for a cup of their apple vinaigrette and it paired incredibly well with everything in the bowl.

I noticed there is a lip on the front door so don't trip- the travel path can be challenging for those with mobility impairment whether that be a wheelchair user or someone who shuffles their feet (as many clientele in the area). Likewise the lighting is pretty and dramatic but limited in several areas where there are steps and the accessible parking isn't too identifiable at night (to the left of the entrance). Just be careful. For hearing impaired folks, it was a bit loud at 7:30 for conversations but by 8:20 it was noticeably quieter if hearing aids were needed to discern tabletop discussions. I added myself to a yelp waitlist but this wasn't mentioned. But the wait wasn't too bad. There was a family of 8 ahead of me that seemed to throw the hostess for a serious loop. She put together a table which they immediately rejected, asked for another that containing a reserved placard then a third. In between she came back to the stand and looked at me inquisitively - so I asked for a table for one- but then she said it would be a minute. I got the "table for one" treatment- offer for a less comfortable high top in what the bar area- and then I thought we were headed to that 2 top by the bathroom every restaurant dooms single diners with, but was pleasantly surprised to be offered a 4 top. The menu reflected what was on their website- always a good sign. But the waitress was not able to handle the volume. I waited 10 minutes before even being greeted. When she did come by to say she'd be right with me, I could hear a nearby table asking for a pen to pay a check after a wait and another table she had served beverages seemed to be a little irked they hadn't gotten a ticket yet so I figured it best to adjust my ordering accordingly. The fried green tomatoes were a perfect temperature- this can often be a challenge to have them still hot but not scald your tongue prior to the rest of a meal. I think thinner slices help achieve this. Coated in cornmeal not flour mixture made it a challenge to stay on, but the homemade ranch is perfect and makes up for any pieces you fish out. The tuna tataki is approachable- wise choice for an area that is less likely to have a palette looking for wild combinations. I'd feel comfortable introducing someone to tuna with this dish. The concept of tortilla chip with seared tuna (possibly ahi) with crispy fried onion strings and grilled bell peppers and a bit of ponzu sauce is great but swimming in ponzu, the tortilla chips were not strong enough to hold the tuna and their being heavily pre salted really made the whole dish way too salty. I'd love to see this reconfigured with unsalted tortillas cut in half and fried, just a drizzle of the ponzu sauce, and keep the onions and peppers. the grilled peppers adding that smokey flavor really could shine then. And to be clear that was the stand out detail- would love to see more of that combo. For the entree I went with a grilled salmon since I've had two NY strips in Chicago this week. The salmon was definitely fishy so not as fresh, but the jalapeño compound butter really helped cover this so I'd recommend opting for that over an herb butter. The grilled asparagus is a little oily but grateful for a vegetable that wasn't frozen and heated. The Parmesan on top adds a good bit of flavor but again watch out for salt blindness. I would normally say how can you mess up a loaded baked potato but actually I had a terrible twice baked one at a stupid expensive steakhouse this week. They did not scrimp on the toppings- every bite could come with a bit of cheese, sour cream, chives, and real crumbled bacon. Frankly this was the type of potato you think of when you think of home. Solid. Now the tea. This was what I was most curious about given the city of Trinidad has notoriously bad (safety has even been questioned) water. The restaurant has invested in a filtration system and promoted it online. To be honest one of the main reasons I was convinced to try the place. There is a lingering taste that it's been processed but nothing I would reject and the peace of mind frankly would keep me coming back. Now my tea glass could have been refilled more often (ran empty twice), but in this instance, that's a testament to water being drinkable. For service I would say they were a little overwhelmed as tables nearby were left unbussed, but the food was never cold and was served very timely so they have that down. I also want to acknowledge the guy at the table next to me was blowing his nose loudly and incessantly using the restaurant napkin so my heart truly goes out to that staff having to deal with that. Honestly kind of want to keep this one a secret.
