We’ve been to this restaurant several times now – for happy hours, for dinners, for restaurant week – all just a mediocre experience. The drinks at this place never disappointed, but the food was another story.

This last time we visited this restaurant, we had:

The Pacific Roll: Pacific king crab, avocado, asian pear, soy paper, wasabi-avocado crema
This roll costs $16.00, but it was flavorless and it might as well be a $3.00 California roll. The Asian pear in the roll was more like tiny apple match sticks. This was a very forgettable roll. Not worth the money!

The El Topo™ Roll: salmon, jalapeño, shiso leaf, fresh melted mozzarella, crispy onion This roll costs $13.50 and its trademarked! We ordered it to see why its trademarked. It’s not actually a roll, its actually in rectangular pieces (rice on the bottom with the fish and sauce on top). Again, not worth the money. There was nothing uniqe about it. We guessed that was trademarked because of the shape?

Eal Avocado Roll: This was actually the surprise item of the night. This standard roll was actually our favorite (and costs only $6). The eel was very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

The next time I come here, it would just be for the drinks! The Caipirinha hits the spot.
