We also tried couple of their Ma’kai Sushi rolls; the Spicy Tuna and the

By the time our main courses were served we had already taken the edge off of our appetite, but it was quickly rekindled with a single whiff of the tantalizing aromas that wafted by us as our plates were set on the table. Among many choices we had,
Clint advised us on what to order; so we had the pleasure of tasting the
most amazing dishes; such as:

very deliciously tasting the real garlic and we all loved this dish.

and flaky, we loved it!

and the size also was enough to be shared.

10oz. Filet Mignon

And our last one was the Filet Mignon, a 10 oz prime filet served with
wasabi and mashed potatoes, another wonderful choice for meat

Everything was absolutely delicious, and we couldn’t have been
more impressed until we took a bite of our desserts.

Crème Brule Trio

Our choice was the Crème Brule Trio, a Tahitian Vanilla Bean, Kona Coffe &
Lychee served in individual cups, delicious… and the Molton Chocolate Cake;
