By the time we left at 9, all seats were filled. I started with a non-alc that had pandan foam and it was really lovely.

I ended the night with the Natsu Air, light and foamy.

I tried the Snap and Solace as well as the SMM (Strawberry Mezcal Martinez) and enjoyed both. F asked for a sake recommendation and liked what she got as well. Since we were going to dinner after, we didn't get much food, but ordered some pickled cucumbers to snack on. It was refreshing and flavorful. I like the vibes of this cocktail bar. It's intimate and quiet; pretty much perfect to catch up with a friend. The bartenders were friendly and provided good recommendations to us based on what we told them we were in the mood for.

I returned yesterday after more than a year and am not sure if there's been a change in management, staff, food, or ownership, but the experience was drastically different--and what happened at the end was honestly shocking. We ordered a bottle of water for the table, and after 20 minutes, we still hadn't seen our waiter again. The staff appeared completely different from previous visits. The new hostess was kind enough to bring the water and take our order while also managing the host stand. The food was also noticeably different. The cheese in my salad was so hard that when I bit into it, I initially thought it was a piece of plastic. I showed it to the runner, who said he would let the chef know. Overall, the food was just okay--the pasta sauce didn't seem fresh, and the Milanese was not prepared the way I remembered it. While waiting to check out, we overheard another table wrapping up. When asked how everything was, the woman very politely said everything was good except her steak, which she described as grey, rotten, and having an unusual smell. She explained that she ate around it because she didn't want to send it back, had dined there countless times, and, as someone in the service industry, could tell something was off. She even ended by complimenting everything else, including the pasta. Our waiter responded, "But you did eat it, correct?" She calmly reiterated that she ate around it but believed something was wrong with the steak. What happened next was shocking. The owner confronted her, saying he was "highly offended," that no one else had complained about the steak, that he personally buys the groceries and ensures their freshness, and accused her of being extremely rude for suggesting otherwise. For context, this customer was exceptionally polite and respectful throughout--more than I would have been. She simply stated that she was only describing her experience. The owner then escalated the exchange into a screaming match, creating an extremely uncomfortable scene for everyone around them. I do not know this woman and had never seen her before, but witnessing how she was treated for respectfully providing feedback was enough for me. DOC is unfortunately no longer the neighborhood spot I remember, and it's a shame. Based on both our experience and what we witnessed, I would avoid it at all costs.

We decided to enjoy the vinyl music playing and cool AC inside instead. The space is dim-lit with such a chic and minimalist decor. The menu consists of various cocktails, but they were just okay.

We only had one round and had to go elsewhere, so gotta try something else another time. While the cocktails we tried weren't all that impressive, the vibe is really nice here.

It did take a while for us to get served and we ordered glasses of wine, beer, a charcuterie board to start and arancini balls. The charcuterie board was really good, as was the arancini. Some other people in my party got the Bavarian Pretzel. For people's main courses, my boyfriend got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries, and another friend got the burger with sweet potato fries as well. We all agreed that everything was delicious, but the sweet potato fries were phenomenal. After the presentation ended, I brought out cupcakes I had made, and the server allowed us to light them and sing happy birthday to my partner. Afterwards, we all decided to go to the bar upstairs to have a drink and play cornhole. The upstairs area was really nice as well and half indoor half out. We were impressed by the variety on the drink menu and I enjoyed a Mezcal cocktail. There is bar seating, as well as more high top tables inside the indoor portion of the bar upstairs, and there is also similar seating options throughout the outside portion. I highly recommend this restaurant/bar and think this would be a great place to host an event.

It's laid back, simple, clean. Bar is pretty comfortable seating-wise. Bartenders are always kind and hospitable. In fact, this time around I chose a drink I didn't like and the bartender asked if they could make me another one. I told them only if they would let me pay for the one I didn't like (I'm not a person who tries things and then doesn't pay). But they insisted that I take a new drink (that they made off menu, for me special) without paying for the discarded one. By the way, there was nothing wrong with the one I tried, it's just I'm really tired of the jalapeño trend and it turned me off with the jalapeño flavor. I had the pretzel and mustard, which again is a huge portion and you'll never be able to finish it unless you have help. I also had the hotdog, made with all the pickle relish, brown mustard, and onion toppings. It was average, but hit the spot and wasn't too heavy. Nothing fancy, but the vibes are IMMACULATE.
