Stopped in on a Saturday night. It may have been way too early (around 7:30pm) but we easily found…read morea seat at the bar. It had a cool vibe and tons of allocated bottles on the bar (tequila and whiskey and whisky to name a few categories). The staff greeted us quickly and supplied us with some menus. I opted for the Idyllwild cocktail and loved it! It had the most complementary flavors and was so refreshing with the bourbon, yuzu, chartreuse, honey, and lemon flavors. My husband opted for a neat Caballito Cerrero Puntas pour (high proof agave spirit). They only had 0.5 Oz for their bottle and only charged for the partial pour. People came in and ordered anything from cocktails to neat pours to flights. It was a cool spot and the bartenders seemed pretty well versed in different cocktails, giving a few suggestions to different patrons. Even making a few Espresso Martinis for a couple of girls that didn't really like their initial cocktails. Staff was cool, attentive, and pretty quick and efficient with the pours. I'd definitely be down to try more drinks here if we roll through again. Luckily, we found some close street parking and it wasn't super busy so we easily found parking in the area. It also wasn't super packed in the venue so we could've opted for other seating--lounge areas, a few tables, or just at the bar.

There's a parking lot out front which is already a huge plus for those of us in LA. Once you enter there are so many rooms, I couldn't believe how big it was. There's the bar area, a dj /dance area (haven't seen it used yet), room with two pool tables, and an outdoor/smoking area. The staff and owner were super nice. Cocktails were good. Standard pricing of cocktails in LA with this vibe for most of them. Did get a tequila soda of fortaleza for $14. So that was more of a deal than most places. Might be a new regular bar for me.

Nothing…read morememorable or impressive, not bad if you're around the area and want to stop by for quick drinks. Left after one drink, and went to another bar. Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).

Seems weird but it really worked. Menu didn't say so but came with some really good tomato soup dip also. Love a good food surprise Drinks come next .. wow .. really unique and delicious. American Samurai and Shades of Pink .. both home runs The Sea Bass in coconut lemongrass deliciousness. A bit pricey but fair for Sea Bass and location. The portion was pretty large compared to other places. Excellent Tempura cauliflower.. this was good but the only thing I have any notes on .. I'd like a sauce .. it's has flavorful toppings and something like chili oil on the plate .. wish chili oil was more of a sauce .. but still was very good .. texture was perfect tho .. a little crunchier than traditional tempura which was nice Ambiance was charming .. cute little place .. a must try

The lamb kebabs were a bit gamey for my taste but I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. Fish tacos were flaky and well cooked but wished it was more flavorful. The kimchi grilled cheese felt pretty substantial and filling. The food was good but one dish didn't particularly stand out. The drinks on the other hand did. The shades of pink was a really good sippable drink that was perfect on a warm day. It wasn't too sweet and light enough to feel refreshing. The aloe & behold cocktail was delicious and got a hint of floral flavor that made it feel unique. The staff were great and attentive. The bathrooms were clean and had a cute aesthetic. The whole restaurant felt like a good date night place or a vibey place to go with coworkers. Street/meter parking was available but be wary of the neighborhoods which have parking restrictions.

While there try their duck baos, it is great and we have not had one like this. Their beef rolls are a meal in themselves.

We hung out at the bar for some time then moved to a booth. I enjoyed most of our time there, but there were some odd interactions with staff. I thought it was odd that we got carded at the bar by a doorman instead of at the door. Also, near closing time we were shouted at twice about the last call for drinks. Also, around closing time a staff member came over to our table and yelled that we had to leave and that he will get fired whilst clearing our table. I told him we were waiting on our friend to leave since they went had just gone to the restroom. He said he understood. Upon him stepping away briefly and then returning to clear more items from our table, I asked him to not shout at us as it was our first time visiting the place. He didn't respond. I felt disappointed leaving the bar in how we were treated towards the end of our visit.

There was a female waitress that gave me coworker a little attitude but it was my friends fault for confusing and asking another waiter for help. The onions rings are my absolute favorite. They have mini burgers too that we absolutely love. They have a wedge salad that is 12/10. The Mac and cheese is a bit dry but still delicious. The ceviche is also fresh and tasty. The drinks are amazing, they are priced fairly and even after 08pm they are still priced fairly. I'm not sure who the owner is but he was chill. There was also another gentleman who helped us out as we were DYING of heat in our little corner and he came by and gave us an electric fan. He definitely went out of his way and accommodated us. Overall service is great, food is absolutely delicious and the vibes are fun. We happened to stay past 08 to join for karaoke hour! We will be back soon!
