dragonfly restaurant

watch out for employee kleptomanica. management is unprofessional! i left my glasses behind and when i went back to get them the waitress told me she handed them to the host. when the evening host went to ask around to the host who were there in the afternoon they told her they misplaced them. when i asked to speak to the manager he told me he didn't have time to find any glasses because he was busy. very unprofessional! if items are being passed from one employee to the other and suddenly disappearing or being "misplaced" then what does that tell you about the integrity of the employees? what else can they misplace, your debit card, your cash? has anyone ever heard of lost and found drawer? perhaps they need to check employees pocketbooks. thisplaceis also over rated and over priced.

dragonfly mondays!. my wife and i are foodies and we love good sushi. we decided to try out dragon fly on a monday because that is usually when fresh fish is delivered. we started out with an appetizer of edamame (which was lightly salted). it came out warm and was very nice. then we also both shared a miso. we decided to get our palates going with two orders of sashimi (yellow tail, and then the eel). the yellow tail was nicely proportioned, and the eel was sweet and succulent. we then ordered the dancing monkey roll, which was a revelation with the mango; and the year of the dragon roll. thisplaceis good! imaginative rolls, fresh fish, and we will be back.

deliciously delightful. my wife and i are foodies and we love good sushi. we decided to try out dragon fly on a monday because that is usually when fresh fish is delivered.

we started out with an appetizer of edamame (which was lightly salted). it came out warm and was very nice. then we also both shared a miso.

we decided to get our palates going with two orders of sashimi (yellow tail, and then the eel). the yellow tail was nicely proportioned, and the eel was sweet and succulent.

we then ordered the dancing monkey roll, which was a revelation with the mango; and the year of the dragon roll.

thisplaceis good! imaginative rolls, fresh fish, and we will be back.

great food. great atmosphere, friendly staff. i'm very picky with my sushi and thisplacehad great, fresh sushi. would go back, 5/5.

wow. thisplacehas potential. the karaoke for lack of a better word...sucks. thisplacereally tries to succeed where the other businesses before it failed. i rather liked the boulder creekplaceover the current.

great fusion!. went out last weekend for a buddy's celebratory dinner (high five on the promotion, john!) and was really stoked that he decided upon dragonfly. first of all, thisplaceis great for large parties - spacious, great ambiance, and an extensive menu which is great for all those picky people that inevitably show up in large get togethers. ok, ok... i am one of those picky people!

shockingly, i was the only vegetarian and while the majority of the party gorged on pork dumplings (apparently delicious) i had most of the spring rolls and edamame. i know it seems impossible to screw up edamame, but let me tell you... some places manage to screw it up! luckily dragonfly pulled through with perfectly al dente soybeans. yum.

the group shared everything from 9-spice shrimp to mongolian beef to a huge samurai ribeye, but the biggest hit appeared to be something called the "happy pig, drunken shrimp" though whether that is because the entree was to die for or whether those slightly inebriated cohorts liked repeating the name, i don't know. the plate left empty, so i assume it tasted as good as it sounded. and yes, inebriation occurred on site, thanks to the lovely and creative cocktail menu ($25 pitcher, sweet!). highly recommend the vampire margarita. seriously, it was amazing.

suffice to say, i will be back

loved it!. we were looking for a new restaurant to try and decided on the recently opened dragonfly based on recommendations from friends. the dragon statue anchoring the outdoor dining patio is quite amusing ("hey i'm a giant dragon so thisplacemust be asian"). ordered the pomegranate martini (delicious), crab wontons (mildly spicy with a lot of crab), dragonfish sushi roll (also very good, but a bit large to fit in my mouth in one bite), the chilean sea bass (a little sweet, a little salty, flaky and moist - just perfect), and "mochi" ice cream (not for me, but my husband loved them - different flavors of ice cream and chocolate stuffed inside dough). definitely worth a second try... we'll be back!
