I went with some friends on a casual Monday evening for drinks and dinner. To our surprise they had happy hour going on (score!) until 7pm with $5 cocktails and $5 appetizers. We each ordered one of the specialty cocktails, I had the lychee mojito which was refreshing and not overly sweet which is key for a good mojito, my friends had the Forbidden Fruit and the Chai-yen cocktail. They were not bad but the lychee mojito was my favorite. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, we had the summer rolls (Excellent!!), the crab cakes (yum!), the bacon guac minus the bacon (yem!) and the green papaya salad (decent!). The papaya salad was super fresh and light tasting however it had a very strong anise/fennel flavor which I was surprised by since the item description made no mention to this. I was wondering if maybe the green/unripe papaya has that flavor?
We did not order dessert as none of the desserts piques our interest. I was hoping they would have some playful takes on typical asian dessert dishes such as sticky rice with coconut & mango, thai iced tea (if you have never tried it, you MUST!) or bubble tea! Maybe they will revamp their dessert menu soon and incorporate a few more desserts, fingers crossed!
We really enjoyed ourselves and found the service to be quick, attentive and friendly as well! We will definitely be back, or shall I say Bac!
