| - Went here for a happy hour (3-6) around 4 w BF for an inexpensive early dinner and drinks at a new place.
Atmosphere was great, poppin for a Tuesday evening. Good mix of people, from young to older. Somewhat expensive and swanky atmosphere, but you could go in there with something more causal on and fit in. Very big, open floor plan with metal elements (bar and keg pipes that go into their "keg room" located privately upstairs.) Nice seating and booths. Very streamlined yet cozy. Downtown feel without having to go downtown. Relatively unimportant, but the bathroom was cool (check out pics if you must).
Service was great. Friendly, & speedy.
Food was top notch. Came out fairly quickly. Was presented BEAUTIFULLY. Alllmost too good to eat. My favorite was the Ahi Tuna Sashimi (see pic). I even ate the red cabbage slaw by twirling it around in the yummy dressing that accompanied the dish on the base of the plate. Spicy tuna roll was equally good. We were expecting a roll as in "sushi roll" but it came out in a unique presentation in a cylindrical form with edamame as it's base topped with seared rare tuna and topped with guacamole. Somewhat bland and not spicy except for the few drops of siracha on the plate, yet very good. Thai pizza was also very good, with peanuts, cheese, a teriyaki style sauce and cilantro.
This place is pricey, especially for the alcoholic beverages. For happy hour, it was three dollars off martinis, with that being said mine cost $8 for the happy hour price. My only complaint is that when it was served to me it filled roughly half of the martini glass. I'm sorry, but when it comes to alcohol, I see the glass half empty! Also, we went on happy hour and for three happy hour priced dishes, two alcoholic cocktails and a few beers our check was around $60.00. However, with that being said, the quality of the food is tantamount to the price it is worth. The presentation, location, atmosphere and service warrant the full price. My advice is go for happy hour, and limit drinks...Oh God. I sound like my mom.
Will be here again, maybe for dinner so I can try the Mac and Cheese or Ahi Tuna Sandwich with dessert. They also have beer cocktails which sound fun.
