WORST EVER

My wife and I rarely get a night out. So when we did we decided to try this restaurant as it had some "tapas" style dishes like we used to love at San Chez in Grand Rapids. We had tempura mushrooms, potstickers, tuna, and pita dipping bread. I have not been that let down in a food experience in a long time. We were both very hungry so at first everything was fine. But we started to notice the amount of grease in everything. We couldn't finish the main meal. It being our "date night" we wanted to make the best of it and so my wife ordered the Chocolate Fon Du. 12.00 dollars for 3.00 worth of ingredients. We paid our 67.00$ bill, and left. That was when we really started to feel bad. Both of us had major indigestion, and the headache that had started for me about ten minutes into the meal increased. My wife was having mild stomach pains, and felt nausea. Both of us felt really aggressive, I attribute that to the absolute mountain of MSG that must have been in the food. Or maybe it was because i paid almost eighty dollars with tip for a meal that made me feel like I had eaten at the worst diner on the highway. Plus I had an urge to brush the grease off my teeth so strong it was like I had eaten an entire cheap pizza. My wife and I eat well at home, we cook a lot, and buy fresh and organic as possible. So when we get the rare chance ,having small children, to go out to eat we want it to be nice. We picked this restaurant, despite bad reviews on the internet, because I felt we should "give it a try." I should have known from the various specials and deals that they have that this restaurant is having problems. I am truly sorry to have dragged my wife to this establishment
