                    Service was top-notch from starting to finish. Excellent food with a ton of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Expect to spend $25-$40 on your entrée. (we both had left overs). Awesome interior design and convenient location downtown. We went this week and they were doing something special with DJs playing. It was about 2 to 3 notches too loud, which made conversation a bit challenging.

                    It was very noisy with the music in the bar. Hard to have a conversation at dinner. Food was ok but way way too salty. Not as good as previous experiences there. Good service but hard to hear the server over the music. I used to love Ginger but not sure I will go back.

                    Girls dinner. We got the scallops and crispy rice with spicy salmon for the apps. The crispy rice was very good! Entrees were seared ahi, general tsos chicken and poke bowl. Green tea crème brûlée was delish!

                    On the way to dinner my Lyft driver asked if I eat at Ginger often. I told him yes, because the food and service are consistently good. Friday was no exception. I made a reservation but there were open seats in the bar so I took those instead as I prefer the atmosphere and round tables in there. My friend and I were meeting for drinks and food before seeing a show at the PAC. The wine was excellent, and I always love the banana lemongrass soup. I would have tried the soup of the day but was told it was not gluten-free because it had chicken broth. Chicken broth doesn't normally contain gluten, so I thought that was odd but whatever. I tried the seared ahi, which apparently was off the menu for a while. The creamy sauce was delicious but the flavor profile of the ahi itself left something to be desired. But really, I'm nit-picking. Ginger is a great spot and I'm glad it's still there after all these years. Cheers!
