What I wished I knew before heading in; happy hour is from 4-7 and only applies to the patio, bar, and cocktail area. It explains why the whole back area was dead. Probably better that I didn't do happy hour anyways because it would egg me to drink and eat more than I need to.
Sitting in the back was nice because it was away from the crowd and allowed for comfortable conversation. I had ordered the seafood cobb salad (13.95) with a side of tangy and miso vinaigrette. The salad itself was massive, coming in one of those large pho bowls. The toppings were generous except when it came to the actual seafood. There were three shrimp cut in half and a light sprinkling of thinly shredded crab meat. My friend's Kobe beef burger (13.95) was good. The meat was juicy and tender. The burger comes with the basic garnish so that it does not detract from the taste of the meat. Paired with the garlic fries, it is a fine meal. The fries were awesome; crispy and the garlic was not overbearing. The beers are reasonable; five dollars for my Marzen and 5.50 for his summer seasonal.
The service was attentive enough to where we got our waters refilled, but nothing more. In the end we left filled.
