Good blend of flavors not too sweet or tasting too much of the spirit . I've had other espresso martini's that were too sweet and that is not not for me. With this one you can appreciate the coffee and the liquor (not too much so this can be a dangerous drink). Only had time for one cocktail, but next time I'm coming prepared for at least two lol. Bartender was great and answered all my questions. Loved that he took his time to make the drink taste and look good.

Lack of communication and poor reviews led me to cancel our reservations…read more I was trying to reserve a table for my family for Valentine's day. I called and was sent to voicemail 3 times. Their online booking option was inflexible and I needed assistance. I called the hotel's mainline and they indicated they'd page the restaurant and that they'd return my call the same day. That never happened. When paying at this price point for a restaurant, I do expect them to at least be available for a phone call. Thankfully, we saw the other negative reviews and concluded that this kind of service would not satisfy us and canceled. We'll take our business elsewhere, as it would seem they've no need for it.

adding another review...brought the husband back to experience Ponyboy at golden hour…read more we literally got almost everything on the golden hour menu. here's the list food (half off during happy hour) brussels sliders chips w/ pickle dip cornbread w/ butter Birthday (comp treat) birthday banana split drinks...(not on happy hour) bubblegum margarita root beer flip each and every item was over the top amazing! we started with the chips and pickle dip...i had to force myself to stop eating so i wouldn't fill up brussels and sliders came next then the cornbread. the sliders have sliced beef and horseradish...so yum!!! brussels were flavorful and not too wet (love!) cornbread...oh that cornbread! so delicious served in a cast iron dish with butter in the shape of corn on the cob. the butter was drizzled with honey ...so damn good! i had the bubble gum marg previously and loved it...i know it sounds odd but try it! then there is the root beer flip...it tasted just like a rootbeer float...its the best drink ever!!! looking forward to a return visit ASAP

Happy Hour (starts at 4) had an amazing selection…read more These were by far the freshest Oysters I've had EVER in any restaurant, no grit no odd aftertaste was pleasantly surprised Another noteworthy dish was the pickle dip was trying not to eat it by the spoonful lol The Service was great everyone made us feel at home The vintage decor was classic and lovely..the ambience reminded me of a diner scene in a Quentin Tarantino movie and I friggin loved that ! I also observed that there were alot of reserved signs placed on the tables pool-side so this would be a cool date night/ girls night out place .. I also saw there was a large projector screen so I'd love to do more research about that since it peaked my curiosity.. The only thing that would worry me next time around is parking but if you leave early enough to make happy hour on time/plan it out I'm sure things would run smoothly We willl definitely be back!!

Please keep in mind, if you do book through Opentable that they ask you to put a card down on file. The reservation was for 5:30, luckily a block away there's a parking lot (you do have to pay) as their personal parking lot fits 5-6 cars. The hostess was a sweetheart and super accommodating, as we were a few minutes late due to the parking situation and we had a great seat that showed the open layout with the chandelier, the back panel by the entrance with all the stars, etc. Overall: Service, exceptional. (5/5) Our waitress: Kelly, was a sweetheart, informative, mindful on consistent check-in's for refills, drinks, going over steps of the menu (e.g. - small bites, entrees, dessert, didn't feel rushed or too pushy, and considerate on time, and promptness). The waiter that came by mid-video to do the torch component of the butters we added on to our meats was great, I love that it's table side because it enhances the experience to the ambiance and you can squeeze a little video in. If you do go for your birthday, as I did, they provide you with a dessert outside of their choices, however, we did overindulge a bit. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience for my birthday dinner, the music/ambiance was great, service was great, and the food quality for both the meat choices we got, sides (caesar salad, broccoli, and macaroni) we're all SO yummy! I will definitely be back!

I had the fried calamari and the shaken beef and they were both really good. My drink was California Love and that was also good. 10/10 recommend for beach side vibes without giving up taste.

I've been here a couple times over the years but my most recent visit was this past Saturday night…read more My fiancé and I joined some friends to see the band Ready Set Survive in the downstairs of the space, a part of the bar I hadn't been in before. The band was great, the sound system was on point and the bar was very busy without feeling overly packed. We went upstairs to use the bathroom and get our drinks before the show started which was definitely the right choice. Not nearly as busy up there and only one person ahead of us to use the bathroom. I saw some folks eating the infamous OB Noodle House wings and taking peanut butter shots, I had half a mind to stay up there for a while but we didn't want to miss the band! There's also an awesome rooftop patio with a view of the ocean that we didn't go to that night. Highly recommend checking it out for their happy hour. Back downstairs for the show and I've gotta give their staff props, they did a great job sweeping through the crowd and picking up empty drinks throughout the night. My only beef with this bar is, there were so many people smoking on the patios that you couldn't get away from the smell pretty much anywhere inside. I don't remember that being an issue on previous visits but it was horrible that night.

Huge shoutout to Gio for going above and beyond, we'll definitely be back!

However, our table was awkwardly placed by a busy outdoor walkway, and my chair was bumped several times by people passing by. Before sitting down, I asked the host if we could move to one of the many available tables with a bay view. She declined immediately without checking for options. I would have preferred to wait until my scheduled reservation time if it meant securing a better table. While the food was good--we enjoyed the blackened swordfish and the IPA fish and chips, the lack of music and the poor seating arrangement made for an underwhelming atmosphere. Because of the seating, we felt rushed to finish and leave as soon as possible.

Decided to try this spot while visiting SD for the first time. Some of the best cocktails I've ever…read morehad! Bartenders and staff are super friendly and flexible to customize your cocktail experience. The first time we went, we had the Christmas in San Diego cocktail, a coconut fat washed delight, and the Oaxacan Triceratops with mezcal. Wow!! The flavors, the froth, the presentation were executed so well. Went back the next day and the Christmas in San Diego wasn't available due to a delayed delivery and the overnight process needed for the coconut fat washing. That's how you know this place is legit...The bartender was super and offered many alternatives based on my preferences. Landed on a drink he concocted with some similarity. I liked it and he was kind enough to discount it and totally willing to make me something else if I didn't. Great open space with a patio, gift shop, cafe, and live performances. Quiet enough to hunker down with great coffee and study as many were doing around us. Lovely daytime experience for our vacay.

The server helped us pretty quick and wasn't anything out if the ordinary. Few people were having brunch/coffee and catching up with a friend, so plenty of places to sit.

The bread to filling ratio could've been a bit better, but they were so good.

My False Idol experience was memorable, albeit blurry toward the end! My boyfriend and I had been…read moreon a half-day tour beforehand, but I saw that False Idol was near our hotel and I insisted we stop in for a cocktail before calling it a night. I knew it was a speakeasy but he did not. I was trying to double-check on my phone that Craft & Commerce was the right restaurant its housed in (yes) when he tried to jet set off down the block "to keep looking" rather than listen to me. I yelled, "MOTHER!" by accident and then he did truly leave me hahaha. He resurfaced a few minutes later, and then we walked in. It was 5:15 at the time, so 15 minutes after opening. I had NO IDEA how popular this spot was, nor anything about its nation-wide reputation. I actually didn't know that until two days ago when a Yelp-friend at home here in Richmond, Virginia, exclaimed excitedly when I told her we stopped in. The host who greeted us was kind, informed us there had been a line to get in that day, but that they had one barrel left; we jumped on it of course. It was happy hour, so the first cocktail I ordered was dirt cheap at $9. It was the Imperial Hawaiian with gin, rum, lemon, pineapple, and orgeat. I really shouldn't have ordered a second drink after that one, but I did have the classic Saturn later on in the night and it was absurdly good! Definitely my favorite of the two. The moody tiki vibe was so cool and fun. They even had frogs you could play on the tables. We had some fun neighbors too, which livened up the experience even more. We had a great time and both walked out heavily buzzed. We were asleep by 8 that night, but it was worth it!

False idol is a tucked away Hawaiian themed speakeasy behind a restaurant. Reservations are…read morerequired so be mindful of that before going. Once inside seating is first come first served so the place is insanely crowded with people trying to get drinks. Service is a little confusing as the waiters will come up to you with a menu asking for your order instead of an order at the bar type of thing. Once we actually got a seat things were okay. The menu is mostly rum drinks since this is a rum bar however since I'm not the biggest fan I ordered the only thing with tequila on the menu. My drink was actually really good, it was refreshing, not too sweet or strong at all. I just wish there would be more variety.
