vein at KAKA'AKO

Was pleasantly surprised how delicious the food was with lots of different flavors. But what was so awesome was that after dinner we lost our parking ticket and had low expectations of finding it.. but when we went back the manager.. Adam was so kind to help us track our steps to find the ticket (walking up 4 floors!!) will def go back for the awesome food and service. Thanks Adam!

We tried this place on a whim as the other mediterranean restaurant didn't have an early reservation time and we had noticed this place over a year ago. When calling for the reservation they said that they could squeeze us in. maybe that was the sign. I had looked at pictures of where we sat on other photos and it was clear that they did squeeze us in. I didn't mind the location as it was near the front close to the bar by the area where they input orders. It was clearly in the way of others passing by us as they would hit the corner of our table. we also didn't understand why we are putting in an awkward position because there are many available seating areas -unless they like those areas for large parties which definitely could've been broken down to smaller tables. We will say this: service was great and prompt. The mr didn't like the additional charge for kitchen help. The food is Mediterranean fusion and I was not sure about the fusion part. Maybe because there were artichokes and octopus on the menu. We did order the artichoke karaage. It's really deep fried artichoke. It was OK. Some pieces were overly seasoned than others. The Mr. ordered the steak crostini. He said you couldn't taste the flavor of the meat at all. I ordered crab and scallion arrabbiata. I will say the texture of the spaghetti was on par perfectly al dente. I wonder where they get the pasta from. The sauce however was nothing spectacular. I had hoped for chunks of crab but they must've been pulverized within the sauce. Had I not remembered I ordered crab, I would never have known there was crab in the sauce. And I also have to agree with other patrons that a basket of bread would've been nice as there is way more sauce to pasta ratio that I could've mopped up with some bread. The mr ordered bolognese and again, was disappointed with the lack of taste in the sauce. We have to agree with other patrons where the price tag did not meet the quantity or quality we were hoping for. Two appetizers, two meals, a bottle of wine and two cocktails was well over $250. the cocktails were not as impressive as we would have liked. There was something strange with the limoncello that I couldn't put my finger on, but I also couldn't finish it -it just had a strange aftertaste. The mr is pretty particular about his old-fashioned and didn't care for his as well. He said it tasted very deluded. Considering it was date night and we wanted to try something new, we did. Would we come back again? Maybe if someone invited us but for now we will try other places. Once again, was the food great? No, but it was good.
