"I have been looking forward to dining at Broadway because I admire chef Amar's style and creativity. I came with a group of 4 others for a celebration and we enjoyed ourselves. There were some highlights and lowlights as to be expected. The highlights included the cocktails (Loucette was fresh and unsweet, a nice balance of bright flavors), the hamachi (that sauce was incredible, bright, acidic and sweet), the pork belly (again, the sauce was the highlight, just a unique flavor combination, dynamite), and the skirt steak with chimichurri (Amar is killing it with the sauces because we asked for more). The smaller plates are fun to share and try a few different dishes. The lowlight was unfortunately my main dish. My friend and I both ordered the pork as a main. Our server said it was one of the best, most popular item on the men,u and the description looked bold and flavorful, so we ordered it with excitement. However, perhaps since we had tasted so many amazing things already, when it came, it was overcooked and quite bland. I think I had 4 bites and that was enough to make me not want to keep eating it. The other dish that left me unsatisfied was the octopus small plate. The texture was quite nice, but the flavor of the octopus seemed overly fishy. I've had a lot of octopus and it was just off unfortunately. Overall, the service was friendly and the food was tasty. The misses were noticeable (no one at our table thought the pork was a good dish) but can be avoided by future guests."
