During this time of year, they transform the space with their Miracle pop-up, which made the atmosphere absolutely perfect for a festive work event. Even though it's their busiest season, they were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to host our luncheon. The Owner and General Manager were both extremely responsive and helpful from start to finish. They offered thoughtful suggestions on catering and the ideal setup, and patiently answered every question I had along the way. The staff was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and genuinely funny--which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Everyone had a fantastic time and couldn't stop talking about the ambience. Truly a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend for both private events and a great night out!

Walking in, the black and gold nuances strike you immediately and sitting at the bar, watching each drink being made is really quite fun. Their cocktail menu is absolutely spectacular. What a wide range of choices with all the major types of liquor available in one form or another. My bartender developed the program and she was super knowledgeable about it. I didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment on that, but for a pre or post dinner cocktail, I can definitely say this was an awesome spot to come out to.

Came here for an anniversary dinner and left a bit disappointed. I have heard good things but…read moreturned out to be a very mediocre dinner. Got a burger and upgraded to truffle fries. Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.

Every recommendation they gave us was excellent, but honestly everything we saw on the menu or walk by looked incredible. I had the sticky shrimp bao buns, edamame, pork belly ramen, the dragon roll, and the spicy tuna roll (shared b/c it's a lot of food. lol). Every dish was packed with flavor. The bao buns were amazing, the pork belly ramen was rich and comforting and such a large portion, and both sushi rolls were super fresh and really well done. One of the coolest parts is that it's a hidden speakeasy space connected to Tiger Lilly. You get the same incredible food menu but with even more drink options, which makes the experience even better. If you're going with friends and want to share a bunch of different things, this is the perfect place to do it. Everything we ordered was fantastic and it made for such a fun dinner.

Located in the back of Tigerlily restaurant, this space is fun and swanky. I love all the lights and decor. It has a speakeasy vibe and excellent tiki cocktails. The best Mai Thai I've ever had! The painkiller is creamy and delightful too! My friend enjoyed the Mamoru, which is like an espresso martini. They also offer refreshing mocktails. The Bulma is like a yummy spa water, with cucumber, jalapeño, lemon, and sparkling water. This place is also a great option if you can't get a reservation at Tigerlily because you still have access to the entire menu, which is amazing. I love the Shikotsu Roll! So flavorful with the wagyu, bone marrow, avocado, cucumber, shallots, garlic, and egg. The Tigerlily roll is also bursting with flavors and textures. The fried Brussels are so good!!!! Wow!! Almond, cashew, Korean bbq, and honey mustard mixed in with perfectly fried brussel sprouts. The Hibachi Lobster Roll Sando is fantastic! The Japanese milk bread is so tasty and the warm lobster is perfect. Comfy seating and just a wonderful atmosphere. My best friend and I had a wonderful experience here. We can't wait to come back!

The interior is spacious (no ac though so watch out when it's a hot summer day) and well lit, is good for gathering groups of people and there appears to be one food truck always parked outside offering food, today I believe it was a slider truck! The outdoor patio is also a great size and there is a parking lot that is a decent size, but if you don't find it there then street parking (with no pesky parking meters) is available which is awesome. I also was reading that this brewery may host events from time to time which is cool, love how they are very community based and aiming to create and foster connection!

Feel like the drinks could be a dollar or two cheaper, but not a deal breaker. Only thing I've been bummed about - I messaged asking if they had changing tables as I read reviews that they're kid friendly. I didn't get a reply and just rolled the dice. We went the other day an no changing tables in any of the 3 bathrooms. Was super bummed by this. Am okay with if it they're not trying to cater to kids, but would've appreciated a reply since their social media is pretty active. Wish they'd consider adding one as it definitely restricts my availability and interest in returning!

I got a very purple ube infused gin cocktail and it was very delicious! Delicious Flavors while still having some kick, which is a problem I have at other cocktail bars, the drinks being good but too weak. GF really liked her drink too. Second drink was a bourbon coffee cocktail and I'm not a huge bourbon fan but this one was quite pleasant! Just enough sweetness and other flavors to balance out the bourbon, and because it's valentine, you know you're always getting quality liquor in your drinks. Bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Drinks were also pretty reasonable, around 14-17$ for a cocktail. Lots of whiskey pours available if that's your vibe too. They have some snacking options available too but we were going to dinner after, which I think is what this place is best for.
