Paradox of the Ethnic Restaurant

We want it to be authentic, but authentic food is not always what we want to eat (think lamb stew as an anatomy exam that was way too easy to pass). We want it to be authentic, but authentic working staff (service and kitchen) may not have English as their first language. We want it to be authentic, but dish descriptions may be culture dependent. Had a good time at the East Ocean Seafood Restaurant - good food at a good price. My recommendation for the paler complexioned is to stick to the more bland choices; they are tasty and adventurous enough without being "offal".
