Good Parts Mismatched Whole

Dinner service: server was good. Belevedere martini straight up with lemon twist was the way I make it for myself. Flash fried shrimp wrapped in sifun noodles excellent. Maytag salad was okay. dressing tasted like something from a jar. Main meal had great presentation. However, the sesame grilled ahi in a soy reduction did not pair well with a somewhat cassarole style baked jasmine rice. Too many directions with the spicing: SE Asian with East Indian two very distinct flavors clashing. Sommalier was terrible. Poor wine suggestion (Sauvignon Blanc) with main course. Not a lot of good information on the wine which was served celler temperature. With the high spicing of the food, we asked the wine be chilled down to temper its cloying characteristics. Dessert was blueberry crisp and key lime cheese cake. Crisp was more like sweetened oatmeal with vanilla ice cream. Key lime tasted okay but had textural issues to the likes of cheese sitting in water. Very pricey for not a lot of quality. Will most likely not repeat this one.
