| - Located in the Manulife building, this restaurant/bar is classy and elegant. On this particular night it was unfortunately very cloudy so we didn't go outside to see the view.
We noticed that majority of the patrons seem to be women, professional type out with their girlfriends to enjoy cocktails and gabfest. There are some couples but they are usually a bit older.
The service here is attentive. The staff chitchat with you like normal conversation. We were not rushed to order.
I think this is more a place for cocktails, as evidenced by the prominent first 2 pages in the menu. They do also have wine, spirits and beers but the selections are a bit reduced. The food menu is at the back of the menu. I suspect it's not really a dinner spot. The food is probably just there so we don't get too drunk too quickly lol.
I ordered the 51, which is Bailey, white cacao, kaluhai, and ice cream (i was in a sweet tooth mood) I cannot really taste much of the alcohol.
We ordered crab dip and ahi tuna. The tuna was very small portion. They came in tiny cute ice cream cones that seemed to be wasabi flavoured. The crab dip was creamy, albeit a bit difficult to scoop up so they gave you a spoon to put on the chips.
I don't think the quality of the drink or food is that exceptional, but one comes here for the ambience and the service. I'd return for certain occasions, but not for what's on the menu
