I like to try a business's speciality menu items when I try a new spot to me. I ordered the iced churro latte. It was okay but the shots of espresso in it were faint. The overall flavor of the churro latte was sweet milk with cinnamon. I should have gone with my first choice of a pastry and ordered one of the croissants, but changed my mind at the last second and ordered a scone. I love scones but this one was lacking flavor. I would order differently the next time. Staff was subdued but kind. The majority of customers were working on their laptops and/or having meetings. There was a fun playlist in the background which gave the place a vibe. I imagine it's a happenin' and fun spot to enjoy a glass of wine with friends at five o' clock.

See my picture from totalwine when you look at their prices. They're a massive ripoff and just as bad as a typical convenience liquor store.

It's a chill place where you can find the most unusual liquor bottles, buy those little liquor bottles for parties and pick up soda in cases, too. This is a gem! Hope to bring more clients soon.

My little pasta loving boy's pasta took so long to come out, all of us had finished eating. Despite asking where the little guy's food was a couple of times, there was no apology given when the food was finally delivered. If this was the world's most authentic bowl of noodles -- like the delay was making fresh pasta or something -- he would have been thrilled and gobbled it down. But this was the hottest and most overcooked gruel. You can see in the picture the congealed situation. My pasta loving boy didn't want it. He was starving and didn't eat it. Not tasty. We were in the mood to celebrate. Disappointing!

Inside | Absolutely beautiful, quite elegant & full of personality! Chocolate Ganache | Cake | I knew that I wanted the chocolate cake the moment I saw it on the menu! It is easily one of the most delicious slices of chocolate cake I've ever had, no joke! The slice was huge, the frosting was thick with fudge, and it was just so chocolatey with every bite! The name of the cake is exactly what it's titled "The Best I've Ever Had!" I also noticed that the cake is in the category of Vegetarian! There was so much flavor! When offered the toppings, I decided on almost all of them, except for the caramel and whipped cream! Hahaha! Wine | As suggested by the Bartender Extraordinaire, my BordeauxWine paired well with the Chocolate Cake! Seating | Cozy & plush! We sat at a table inside, near the bar! Customer Service | Everyone we encountered was friendly with a smile! Also, helpful with the menu, including the drinks! The DJ was friendly as well, and we enjoyed the variety of music he played! Very chill! Overall | Yes, please! The chocolate cake is already calling my name once again! It truly was delicious and we all enjoyed our experience here! The Georgian Hotel is quite the beauty on Ocean! We will be back!!

**4/5 stars** Sirena…read moreat the Georgian Hotel is an absolute vibe, especially with those stunning ocean views--definitely one of the highlights of the experience. The food was solid across the board. I had a spectacular Caesar salad and a Smashburger that was very good--simple, well-executed, and satisfying. But the true star of the show was the **Shore Thing** cocktail. The rosemary-infused tequila with watermelon, mint, chipotle, and lime was perfectly balanced, refreshing, and memorable. I'd come back just for that drink alone. That said, while the atmosphere and views were top-tier, the service was noticeably slow, which held the experience back from being a full five stars. Overall, Sirena is a great spot for drinks, views, and a relaxed meal--just be prepared to take your time and enjoy the scenery while you wait.
