    Great food, great service. Happy hour is clutch. Best server there is Bobby. Go in for drinks! Jon's the best bartender in the house!

    Great fresh meals. Also try to get a table on the "bar" side... When it's nice out they open the windows and it's awesome. Also, the happy hour specials don't carry over to the "restaurant" side.

    Great service even during a packed lunch hour. They have sushi, but also a traditional American menu with some upscale classics.

    Ahi wontons, miso sea bass, hibiscus cocktail, cool decor and good mix of music. Ask for bar seating if you want reverse happy hour prices.

    Happy hour/reverse happy hour is awesome. Cozy patio seating. My favorites: ahi wonton crisps, spicy tuna roll, and the mango margarita!

    They have two menus for dinner, mostly the same options, but different prices for those same options. #oops Find the ones that have Pad Thai for $13, not $16.

    Pretty pricey menu. Your typical chain food. Stick around for the happy hour menu. Otherwise be prepared to pay for their regular entrées. Just so-so in taste and not consistent.
