Didn't try any cocktails but I will definitely be back to do so. Ample seating but I can imagine it getting cramped on a busier day if sitting inside. Lots of outside seating too.

Got sent to the principles office for happy hour. No complaints here.

Also a great way to try a bunch of cocktails. $5! What a steal! Our server was really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick along with our food. My only complaint is that the truffle fries were cold and limpy. They were great.... Also the truffle flavor was nonexistent. And my chicken tasted kinda fishy and the batter came off. So obviously they weren't battered correctly. But if you don't count the food, this place is pretty good!

Couldn't ask for more for our anniversary night out. They're up-leveling the menu in early April, but it's already so tasty! Had the waygu sliders, lobster-sweet corn fritters, shrimp skewers, and flourless chocolate torte. All superb! Next menu will be more locally inspired. It sounds great, but I'd go now before it changes as well, so you won't miss out on current offerings.

It was not. I've been ordering that martini for 27 years. After much discussion, the waitress agreed to bring me three olives. She did not want to take the drink back. We ordered the shrimp skewers and the corn and lobster balls. The shrimp was criminally overdone, basically seafood jerky. Neither my wife nor I could even taste the lobster in the balls, much less see any actual lobster meat in them. Lots and lots of corn, though. Very disappointing experience. The view was amazing, but for the price we paid, the service and food were substandard.

Looked like there were 2 servers and 1 bartender taking care of the room. My friend and I went this month with the theme of stranger things. Its like walking into the show set when entering the bar. Drink and food options are themed and each come out in their own special way. I was recommended the dear Billy since im not too keen on the taste of alcohol and it was great! Dangerous cause it tastes like juice but great because the alcohol hit. The waiter told us that all the drinks have the same amount of alcohol in it so thats a plus too. For the food we had surfer boy bites and daring dumplings. The bites were so savory and delicious I really wanted more! The cola i infused marinara pairs great with the waffle bite and the pickled jalapeño added that savory to my sweet. The daring dumplings were a veggie dumpling and good but not something I would order again because to me, they were just dumplings and we only got like 5. Can't wait for the next theme to come back and try!

Everything came out in random batches instead of together, which made the dining experience frustrating. The fish and chips were extremely overpriced and the fish itself was mushy and soggy. The margarita flatbread was VERY bland with barely any flavor, and the "smash burger" was definitely not a true smash burger. On top of that, the drinks were insanely expensive for what you get -- my margarita was $18 for a tiny glass, and two shots of tequila were $15 each. To make things worse, we were told we couldn't order dessert because they had closed dessert service literally 5 minutes before. Overall, the prices are absolutely not worth the quality of the food or service. Very disappointed and unsatisfied with the experience.

Once mixed together, the yolk coats everything into a delicious fresh dense bowl that's deeply satisfying without feeling too heavy. The crispy calamari was a great, light, crunchy meal. The octupus pieces were thick and paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The breading wasn't distracting but rather adding to the flavor. The thai chili salmon plate was bright and fresh, with a nice balance of glaze, greens, and noodles. Overall, higher quality for lower price. We will be returning. Cocktails were just as thoughtful as the food -- vibrant, fruity, sweet, and beautifully presented. If you come here, order the Seoul Bowl.
