This is the speakeasy inside of Growlers - the sports bar inside the Gaylord Pacific conference…read moreresort. The hostess of Growlers can help you find the speakeasy (fridge door). Was there for a conference event, and then came back the next day for the full speakeasy experience. For the conference private event - top marks. Would hold something like a small wedding welcome cocktail hour here. Cocktails were batched in real time from a preset menu and good. Food was same as the speakeasy experience but served in trays with the waitresses. As a Speakeasy/ craft cocktail bar, this was everything it should be. Mixologists were excellent at a level similar to Oculto 477. The bartender offered a clarified Mai Tai inspired cocktail from the daily specials and it was completely worth the cost. That kicked off a craving for a classic Mai tai like False Idol, Trader Vic's, or Smugglers Cove. The bartender was able to deliver despite not being setup as a tiki bar (no mint garnish, crushed ice etc.) It was made with block ice but the cocktail tasted as it should. Great service, and top notch experience and would return and even consider booking for an event. Excellent ambiance, service and experience.

They serve coffee during the day and alcohol at night. Since we came at night, we tried their cocktails. I was impressed with the variety of alcohol choices from sake, soju, wine and mixed cocktails. I chose So Fresh and So Clean, which exactly was the taste when I sipped this drink. The garnishing was minimal, so I was a little disappointed that the presentation wasn't that great. I ordered Just like candy and I loved the candy garnish as this was a fun twist to this drink. I did want the cocktails be a little more alcohol forward since I didn't feel it very much. Service was okay as we had to flag someone down to place another drink order. This place will reopen again soon and I'll try the cocktails again. Nice place to relax and unwind before or after dinner or in the morning with your coffee.

The inside has a nice jungle/plant vibe -- warm, inviting decor that feels intentional without being overdone. Service stood out right away. Our waiter was attentive and checked in often without hovering. I ordered the Pupu Platter during happy hour, and it's a smart move if you want variety. It's just enough food for one and gives you a sampling of different menu items. The Korean-style wings had good flavor and just the right level of spice, though I wish they were a little crispier. The sliders were straightforward -- nothing groundbreaking -- but well made and satisfying. Fries came out crispy, which I always appreciate. My wife had the poke nachos, and those were the sleeper hit. I was skeptical about the pico at first, but it actually added depth and balance. The sauce tied everything together nicely. We also ordered a mocktail and one of their signature drinks, and both were well crafted. Overall, a great dinner with good energy, solid execution, and attentive service. A few small tweaks could push it to five stars, but we'd definitely come back.

We visited Lime in the Coconut for the first time to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately the…read moreexperience was very disappointing. From the start, our server was inattentive and seemed completely dismissive when we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. There was no acknowledgment at all, which made the occasion feel overlooked. To make matters worse, on a Friday night they were out of all draft beer, which was surprising for a restaurant and bar that promotes its tropical cocktails and lively atmosphere. Dessert was the biggest letdown. The mango sticky rice was honestly one of the worst versions we've ever had--poorly prepared and lacking flavor. The chocolate cake was so dry that it was practically inedible. The tropical décor and hidden tiki speakeasy "X" are interesting concepts, but the poor service and disappointing food overshadowed what should have been a special birthday celebration. We left feeling let down and will not return.

Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

I enjoyed the chicken schnitzel - simple and tasty. Not pictured is the gravy that they gave in a separate container so that the chicken wouldn't get soggy. The Hen House appetizer (chicken sliders) were pretty good. Some of the chicken was tough, but the bread is sweet and the pickles they use are excellent. Tater tots are very good, no complaints. Super crunchy. The cinnamon roll is OK. Something about it doesn't feel like a classic cinnamon roll, as if they are using some other type of dough. Little tougher but flavor is still good. They also don't put too much icing which I like as it doesn't overpower the roll.

There's cool Mexican art on the wall and table was clean and wiped down. There's not too big of a menu and what they have is made really well. The chips and salsa were good. I like how light the chips are. The free salsa had more and better flavor than the red, but both are good. I got El Bàsico burrito and it was like how I used to eat it growing up when my parents would make it for me. I asked for a side of the poblano salsa they use for the chilaquiles and it was so good! It became with a side of plain crema. I left full and happy! My wife got a Quesataco with a side of frijoles and papas. The taco had a lot of meat and was super tasty. They gave you a small side of consume and that didn't disappoint either. The papas didn't have too much flavor but were nice and crispy. The beans were my wife's favorite. They have a slight kick and bomb flavor. I'm glad to have this place in our neighborhood and I look forward to coming back again!

There is ample seating, good ambiance, and of course, great food. We ordered: edamame (9/10), calamari (10/10 & one of my favorites due to the great, crunchy breading), roasted brussle sprouts (10/10), otay ranch roll (7.5/10), cherry blossom roll (8/10), crunchy roll (9/10), lemon cilantro roll (10/10), cucumber salad (10/10), & yakisoba. I highly recommend Casa Nori if you want quality Japanese food that is tucked away from the rest of Eastlake/Otay Ranch.
