 I hope that this place turns out to be better than Spice Island.
 We used to go to Spice Island often when it first opened.  About a year
 later, their food and service declined in quality, considerably.  Since
 then, we have not returned to Spice Island and nor do we plan to.
 We sincerely wish that this venture heads in the right direction.

 Two companions and I went here last night.

 One word: YUM!

 A VERY eclectic menu, only partailly available at current moment, but
 they will be bringin in new stuff soon.

 They had two Eitheopean (sp?) dishes, one appetizer one entree. Having
 never eaten this cuisine I cannot compare, but they were definitely
 good.

 All of us would go back. (One can't wait for them to have the lamb
 chops)

 As for Spice Island. I don't understand why so many feel it's bad. I
 love the place. Mind you, if they get Wheel Delivery orders, you have to
 wait. They are obligated to serve them first. A part of me hopes they
 drop WD, and a part wants to be able to order when I cannot go. *sigh*

 I personally feel the food is just as good as it was a year ago.
