    Despite that the restaurant was not crowded the server (who admittedly was very pleasant) was inattentive and forgetful. I had to remind him twice about a cocktail I ordered—both times he had no idea I was still waiting for it. It finally came the third time I mentioned it after we were done eating, and it was warm (obviously prepared in a hurry without being shaken with ice long enough). I considered sending it back but it was not worth the hassle of trying to hunt down the waiter again. No apology or offer to make it right. Beyond that, the beef lettuce wraps were tasteless and, bizarrely, came with only two leaves of lettuce. Pretty sure doubling the lettuce would cost the restaurant less than 5 cents. Kung pao chicken was fine. Overall disappointing for the price.

    I had an excellent dining experience before going to see a play at Arena stage. Love that they had a menu just for people going to the play a nice touch. The drinks were very good and the food was even better beautiful ambience looking out over to the water, watching the people walk by
