    Their custom cocktails are fantastic. We really enjoyed them as we watched the boats cruising the River along the River Walk. Great for people watching because it is on the quiet end of the River Walk. Also Grace, our server was really awesome. I highly recommend the Brisket Egg Rolls and Shrimp with Noodles. The Pork Belly and Krab & Crab were ok. We will try some other items on our next visit but we won't be able to pass on the Brisket Egg Rolls. We will probably double our order. Service was very attentive and we never had to wait for refills.

    I sat at the bar and was amazed how the barkeep managed so effortlessly to knock out dozens of beautiful cocktails while also taking excellent care of patrons at the bar. Food was great. I had the brisket egg roll, furikake corn waffle with pork belly, shrimp and bonito flake, frizzled green beans, and Yuzu tart. Yuzurita was a great accompaniment, highly recommended.
    Tokyo CowboyResponded on 26 February 2025

Our bartenders work hard to keep things flowing smoothly, so it's great to know their efforts stood out. We're also glad you loved the food – the brisket egg roll, furikake corn waffle, and all the other dishes you tried are some of our favorites too! The Yuzurita is a perfect match with those flavors, and we’re happy to hear you recommend it. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon for another amazing meal and drink experience!

    The drinks were as good as you think kind of almost “medication” tasting but original. They were too busy for the servers to keep up

    Our server, Summer I believe, was great. The hosts were friendly. It was a very cute place and my drinks was delightful. My only hesitancy about returning for more than drinks was the food. We just split a couple appetizers so I definitely didn’t experience much of the menu but was not overly impressed with the chicken chili dumplings as they were cold and the brisket egg rolls were fine. The portions were just incredibly small for the cost. I understand food costs increasing as well as the area but $21 for 3 dumplings and an egg roll seems a bit steep.
