| - First, let me say that this review is ONLY for Happy Hour from 3pm to 7pm.
Second, let me tell you that I've been going here for years.
The happy hour drink specials are nothing special (get it?) The margaritas vary in alcohol content depending on some cosmic sign from the universe. Apparently, when the moon is in retrograde, they are eyewateringly strong. However, when Gemini is on the cusp (or something) then they taste like they have nothing in them.
On the other hand, the saki bombers are a pretty good deal.
So, you ask, why give it 4 stars and keep going?
The food! The Happy Hour menu has half off of individual pizzas, several different sushi rolls, fish or chicken tacos, calamari, and more.
In general, 6 of us go at a time. We eat until at we are all stuffed, and drink until at least three of us are blowing about 0.06--or more. And the bill INCLUDING tax and a 20% tip, NEVER goes above $140.00.
Special recommendations: The calamari, spicy tuna rolls, california rolls (ask for no mayo on them), and the fish tacos.
If you are a serious avocado fan, they have an avocado eggroll, but I am seriously warning you, there are 4 halves on the plate and you absolutely will not be able to eat all 4. They are just too rich.
I want to go NOW, but happy hour doesn't start until 3.
Let me mention a few other things that I like about it, but that might turn you off--or on, you never know.
The HH specials are only available on the patio or in the bar.
The Patio overlooks the valet parking. This, in particular, is one of my favorite things. I once saw a guy completely dressed in red from head to foot--seriously, red cap to red shoes, get out of a red Rolls Royce with Burberry headrests and red leather upholstery. I'm still laughing. I also get to see great classics, awesome Ferraris, etc....
Oh, and the bathroom is pretty far away downstairs. I actually like this since I get to walk through the entire restaurant and people-watch.
