Food: Edible but forgettable

Rolling Boil dishes out quite a catch with its Szechuan and Miso Hotpot. The Spicy Broth with Veggies and New York Strip Steak also slams with a savoury explosion. Spot on with Freshness, their Choice Ribeye's tender melt-in-mouth magic does win points. But the limited creativity, stingy portions and lack of menu variety dulls the sheen, leaving Taste hanging in neutral.

  • Great Quality

    Freshness and quality of meat, seafood, veggies consistently highlighted.

  • Okay Taste

    Food is either good or just okay, with service sometimes lacking.

  • Small Portions

    Complaints about tiny, small, stingy portions noted in several reviews.

Vibe: Humdrum space, decent spirits

Ambiance, a mixed bag, speaks of an ordinary joint with a lively date night nightmare. But, worth noting is the live Entertainment and uniquely extensive list of Beers and Sake, thundering the drinks vibe high while the buzz hangs in limbo altogether.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive, quality beer and sake selection enhances the dining experience.

  • Okay Buzz

    Mixed reviews on trendiness; some find it lively, others overcrowded.

  • Bad For Dates

    Excessively loud and crowded, making for a less enjoyable date night.

Perks: Parking pain, toast to service

Let's face it, the parking situation here is a flat out horror show. The noise level is not for those who treasure silence and outdoor seating is a crunch. Groups and vegetarians, beware. However, the Service saves face with friendly and attentive staff hustling to keep things rolling.

  • Great Service

    Staff frequently described as friendly, attentive, and providing quick service.

  • Bad For Diets

    Needs work on vegetarian options, portion sizes don't match high prices.
