Yep. Me too. Thumbs up on the calamari, but the coating was a little too obtrusive to me, and I like the aoli dipping sauce at Tocai much better. Another strike on the lemon chicken dish. The ginger scallop dish contained 3 (count 'em) scallops. My third try was some Thai coconut based soup/noodle dish that had way too much coconut milk. I still want to find a dish I truly adore.

OTOH, my bit'o'fluff Jason hit the mother lode first time and always orders the same dish. Tokyo Spaghetti is the unlikely name for a salmon on a bed of noodles with some ginger/seven spice based sauce. They'll cook the salmon just right (hardly at all) and it tastes devine.

Plus it gives me another excuse to give in to the temptation of Dolce Vita's sorbets.
