| - I rate this 5 stars for martinis and lounge, but it's only a 4 for me because the food was average. I went here with a group of friends for a birthday, The fiance and I had dinner downstairs first and then went upstairs to the lounge. If you are with a group, it's a pretty fun and chill place and they were playing good danceable music, which my friends and I liked. It didn't seem that packed for a saturday, so it was easy to get a drink. I think there's also servers walking around the lounge to take orders, so another plus.
The dining area was pretty small, but we made a reservation just about 2 hours prior to arriving, and we didn't have to wait. My fiance and I shared the calamari, which was really delicious! Usually, the calamari we get is seasoned with just salt & pepper with maybe some breading at times and chilli and scallions, but this one was a different taste and it was tasty! It seemed a little asian inspired kind of like sweet with some crumble and salty with soy. I had the seared ahi tuna salad. I liked the taste, but it isn't the best ahi to me. Fish didn't taste that fresh to me. My fiance had the braised short rib with the mashed potatoes and he said it was only 3 stars for him. He got his friend a turkey wrap and he said it was average.
The real highlight for us were the martinis! I am not one for martinis but after tasting sweet/bakery inspired martinis, I am feening for it. LOL. I had the cake batter martini and the chocolate covered pretzel. Sooo good! They got really creative here with the martinis and the presentation. Definitely 5 stars for the martini bar :) Will go back to taste the rest!
