![]() The food coming out of that kitchen is delicious, though. That’s just an excuse for poor timing in their kitchen. I went back and looked at the menu on the restaurant's website, and NO it does not state that anywhere. Prepared to order from scratch, isn’t that true of all restaurant service? We weren’t at a cafeteria. I apologize.” (Substitute “F you” for I apologize and you’ll get an idea of his tone.) When I explained our issue with the food delivery, he responded in a very condescending manner, “Our food is prepared to order, we are a scratch kitchen, and is delivered as soon as it is ready, perhaps you didn’t read that on the menu. The manager happened to walk by and asked if everything was all right. Not less than 10 minutes later my entrée arrived, followed immediately afterward by my husband’s, leaving us to sit there with three plates while our dining companions had nothing in front of them. Our appetizer was delivered by a different server who had no idea who had ordered it. The actual food was tasty and well prepared. ![]() ![]() That’s not necessarily bad, because Sensei does do both Asian and Latin fare proud. My husband and I ordered an appetizer to split and a pair of Asian entrees, our friends Fredda and Katia passed on the appetizer course and ordered two of the Latin dishes from the menu.Įxcept for a bit of mixing spices (wasabi mashed potatoes with the Latin dishes, sesame seeds on a mole sauce), I didn’t see much “fusion” in the actual dishes. Our server was eager and friendly, perhaps too eager, our behinds had no sooner plopped into the seats, and he was pushing drink orders (recommending his “favorites” which all happened to be the most expensive things on the menu). Service at Casa Sensei was my main issue. To get close enough to the table to eat comfortably, you must give up legroom. The low-slung bench seating pitches you so far back that it is difficult to sit up straight. I’ll give them points for the waterfront dining location it is both charming and relaxing and even on a hot September night, was quite comfortable, at least climate-wise. As with the way movies are screened, we’ll start with the main attraction and then move on to the second feature.Īccording to its website “Casa Sensei blends brilliant Pan-Asian flavors with the dynamic culinary traditions of Latin America to create a magnificent fusion eatery … Mixing and matching global flavors …” This week I went to two restaurants: one a fancy, pricey spot, the other the B movie equivalent. “Psycho,” “Enter the Dragon,” “Night of the Living Dead,” and “Foxy Brown,” are perfect examples. The thing about that is that a lot of times the “B” movie was the better film. Usually, it was a big splashy blockbuster and then a second movie with a lesser budget, the “B” movie. Readers of a certain age will remember that when you went to the movies (you remember going to the movies, don’t you? We all used to do it before COVID changed our lives forever), there was usually what was called a double feature.
