Not the world's greatest burger by any means but a pretty decent chain burger. I always order the burger with the green chile. Yum. Sometimes a little greasy but still edible.
As for the fries.... steak fries are nasty and I would never want anymore.
Another thing, people are actually shopping at this mall. I don't know if they have better security here or what but... there are no mall rats hanging around causing trouble like at Meriden. You can easily shop on a Saturday night and not feel like you have to clutch your bag or watch your back.

The dining room was very busy with all table and booths filled. The lighting was dim and it did not look like your average chain restaurant.
Started off with the house made potato chips and bleu cheese dipping sauce. These were hot, crispy, and salty.
I ordered the filet topped with bleu cheese and peppercorn/wine sauce. It was tender and cooked to a perfect medium. I finished every last bit.
And of course we had dessert. If we already ate at least a 2000 calorie dinner, what's a 1,000 calorie dessert! We had the fried cheesecake nuggets. Tasted ok but buy this time I was way too full.
Might be back again but I don't really eat steak all that much and like I said before, depending on your server, your experience might not be so good.

We were seated on a Saturday night at dinner time and this place was not too busy. We waited and waited and waited for a server. No one showed up. We even tried to flag down someone who then ignored us and walked away. Luckily someone saw and told us he was not our waiter but he was going to take care of us. I wish I remembered his name because he was FANTASTIC. He was literally the waiter in the other room but made sure to take excellent care of out table. The other waiters should be taking notes from this guy.
We decided to order tea thinking we would get our sencha in a pot. Nope. Two tea bags. So classless in a seemingly nice restaurant an expensive restaurant.
For an appetizer we picked the Korean style calamari which was fried calamari in a sweet chili sauce. Ok but nothing special. Been there and done that at a million and one other restaurants. Was hoping for a calamari app that was a little more inventive. For dinner my husband ordered chef's choice sushi dinner. So unimaginative. It was literally salmon, tuna, snapper, shrimp, etc. I ordered the Green Peace Roll which was a $16 veggie roll and the Route 44 roll. Both lacked flavor but looked pretty on a plate. Eating this subpar sushi really made me miss Maeda Sushi. Why did that amazing restaurant have to close :(
Since we really wanted to understand why everyone loves Feng so much, we decided to stick around and try dessert. I had the 20 layer crepe and my husband had the ginger rice pudding. The crepe was sweet but heavy in a strange way seeing that it was layers of thin crepe. The ginger rice pudding was the best thing that we ordered. Lots of flavor.
I will not be returning to Feng or any of the other restaurants they own. It was a pretty place but that does not makeup for the flavorless and super expensive meal. I am seriously thinking a lot of people in the Avon (super rich) area of CT have their heads up their you know what when it comes to restaurants. Just because its expensive, doesn't mean its good!
