My girlfriends and I had just had ramen at Jinya and weren't quite ready to leave but didn't want to take up the table. I was looking for a coffee place/lounge type of establishment within the strip mall behind Jinya when we came across Sivas. Looked it up on yelp and it had a whopping 5 stars.
We were greeted immediately and told we could sit anywhere. Right off the bat the decor was very inviting. We went further inside to discover large tables where two were occupied with hookah patrons. Very luxurious attention given to detail and easily a perfect ambiance for date night. Great ventilation in place as we didn't get a strong whiff of hookah upon entry.
We received our menus and saw there was a martini special for Tuesday's. Our waitress came and took our orders. I excitedly ordered the lychee martini because those are my favorite. After a short wait she returned with our drinks at which point she decides to let us know that not all the martinis are part of the special. And how were we to know that? There's no astrix, she didn't make any mention to this before. Seeing that we are visibly perplexed and confused she agreed to give us the special price but FYI'd us for our next round. There was no mention made of which martinis exactly are part of the special.
Finally it's time to drink our drinks. One word - robitussin. Yuck! Literally all three were horrible! We struggled to have them go down. I wouldn't recommend ordering martinis or any cocktails for that matter. This place seems best for food and those that smoke hookah.
I don't know that I have any reason to return but it's a cute little joint that plays throwback hip hop and R&B. They did change it to elevator music shortly. The waitress needs training both on the menu and bartending.
UPDATE: My craving for ramen again called for another visit to Sivas. This experience was much better all around. We sat on the porch this time as it was a nice, warm day. They have comfy seating. Our drinks were much better than the last time, caution to anyone getting the mango jalapeƱo drink it has a major kick. We were attended to frequently, music was on point. The smell as we walked in this time (potentially from hookah?) was just something else. I considered this place a gem last time because that was under control but it was awful this time around as was the bathroom upkeep. Which are minute things that I take very seriously. Sivas has great potential and I am hopeful they continue to grow. I was happy to come across their billboard across town, definitely going big or going home approach. I appreciate it and will recommend it to my loved ones!
