Very tasty burgers. $10 for a martini?! Thank god we didn't get that old cranky blonde waitress. (Deborah?)
I also like their Cobb salad. My mom didn't really love the boiled dinner.

The salt and pepper calamari is outstanding!
Their moo shi is terrible.
We liked the 'rice stick singapore style' (curryish vermicelli with shrimp, carrots, chinese pork, etc.)
Most veggie dishes seem overpriced or not very good.
Note: on their online menus they do not denote spiciness!
A nice quiet restaurant on a Thursday night.
Open til 10PM weeknights.

We went again and had a very nice time. Sat outside-- lovely. H had a scallop app and grilled asparagus, and L had the kobe beef tataki with 2 sides: mushroom & leeks and sweet potato fries, all delish! We were treated to two desserts on the house: strawberry shortcake with fresh whipped cream and (nutty) meringues, and chocolate cake with nutty caramel filling-- both delish too!
We had the buffet a few years ago and it was not good.
Recently we ordered some 'old standards' off the menu such as mooshi pork and they were all very good. Nice to be back.

Went tonight with an old friend.
Duck with Loquat (and taro?): bad!
Eggplant with Garlic sauce: okay, not great.
Pork lomein: good.
Crispy Jumbo Shrimp: very good, but $18!
L has been to the Left Bank Restaurant twice for lunch, H once. L loved the food both times.
The service the first time was soso, but we thought it due to being served outside. The service the second time was terrible-- no excuse. Apart from being excruciatingly slow, the waiter didn't even ask me if I wanted more iced tea, which strikes me bad for a $30 meal.
L + H both loved the corn soup as an app. H had the crab cake which was excellent. L had squash tortellini with mushrooms, which was good, but not the best choice.
H liked the seared pepper-crusted tuna with some kind of a creamy sauce, on the rare side with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.
L thought the crab cake sandwich was a big disappointment, although it was huge for $8.50.
L didn't like the very thick black bean soup, although the waitress was blazingly fast with extra cilantro.
Mojitos for $8.50?!? H's martini was less for some reason.

We went again and I liked it much better. We started with the seafood sampler, which while not cheap at $15.95 was quite big and very tasty. L had the chicken and mushroom risotto, which wasn't bad, and a Cuban Infusion drink which wasn't bad, but I'd try something else. H had the seared pepper-crusted tuna again but liked it less and thinks she should have it medium rare next time instead of 'very rare.' Tuna needs salt, she says. Her Cabernet Sauvignon was perfectly acceptable. We also had some of a friend's sangria, which we enjoyed. 1/2 a pitcher for $14 is a fairly good deal.
Desserts seemed kind of expensive-- most are $8. The $5 sundae was okay but didn't seem worth it to me.
