| - Just left, and my review may be a little influenced from the cocktails I tried. Had the Mai Tai, Penicillin, Black Manhattan, White Negroni, and one other (as well as a $4 Ballast Point for Happy Hour). All were great. Particularly liked the Negroni. Still not completely sold on Amaro Montenegro substituting for vermouth in a Manhattan, but more research needs to be done. Perhaps Jessica (the bartender, who was fantastic) may be willing to try it as a Rob Roy for me (not super fond of Rye).
The food was also great. $1 oysters for Happy Hour (5-6). Big fan of the gelee sauce. Boa sliders. Salmon tacos (with crispy salmon as the shell). Whatever those spring roll things were (sorry, I've been drinking), The wings seemed out of place, as they were a bit heavier than the other dishes, but I'll still probably get them on my next visit (a bit heavy, but still yummy).
Need to try an entree next time, and I'm guessing desserts will be very interesting.
Also looked at the wine list. Dirt cheap, with some really good selections. Tough, with the cocktails being so good.
