pasta for appy.. the salad wasn't that great

steak for entree since i got the seafood and tried both. Seafood wasn't the bomb

dessert.. go for fruits or sour ice cream, eat tiramisu if you like rum or some alcohol in it which makes it bitter.
Thanks for the review! I'm going there next week, I was going to get the salad, but I guess I will skip that!

So far I've been to:

Cork & Fin - 5/10. Appetizers:I had raw oysters (3 of them - they were fresh), wife had salad (+$5 for prawns). I don't see why they charge extra for prawns considering the salad was only a couple leafs and a few pomegranate seeds. Entree 1: I had negitoro tuna (best dish of the menu), wife had prawn bisque (average). Entree 2: I had fish in tomato sauce (bland, was literally fish in tomato sauce), wife had steak (smallest steak I've ever seen - 4 oz maybe???). Portions were very small. I had to add on a steak tartare - was so bland, tasted like nothing. I had to add salt and pepper to it. (the one I had in Paris a couple months ago was so good!)

Banana Leaf - 8/10 - nothing fancy, items are from their regular menu, but you get a good selection of items. But the food was good, friendly staff/atmosphere, and I was full at the end.

Going to Las Margaritas tonight, and Don Francesco next week.
