   Service was great. Food was ok but not the best value. The music was great but so loud. Everywhere they have the music pumping like a club. Bathroom, lobby, in the restaurant. We asked if they could turn it down and were told they couldn’t :(

   The Happy Hour Menu had a lot to choose from and was very reasonable. We had the Kona sliders and lettuce wraps. They were delicious!! On the main menu we had the lemongrass clam chowder and fish and chips and they were Excellent. The drinks not on Happy Hour were kind of expensive but they were so good and looked beautiful! For dessert we had the butter cake and an espresso martini! It was perfect. The ambience is beautiful and not super loud. we will definitely be back!

   I didn’t get my 25 dollars off for a birthday. Then we told the waitress and she said give me the last 4 digits of your credit card and email and we can put it in your credit card. I am still waiting for it.

   Not a good experience. First, this place is LOUD! There's a DJ pumping music and overhead speakers above every table. It is difficult to have a conversation. The place was about half full, yet they somehow ran out of water glasses. They were pouring tap water into wine glasses. The beer list is pathetic. This is Portland and they had no NW craft beer options. The only IPA offered is Lagunitas. The food was so-so at best. I had the poke bowl. It was so dry that I borrowed some of the sauce from the potstckers appetizer. Meanwhile, my wife's salad was so overdressed that she wound up with limp lettuce swimming in liquid. And then there's the price. For four, with mediocre food, the bill was $220! There are MANY better options.

   Some meals definitely better than others. Feels like it is on the expensive side for what ya get. Service was good. Our server was attentive. I would go back for their cocktails and spicy shrimp. Tempura. I loved the Patio Bubbles drink.

   Service is always very slow. The waiters bring the main courses out just after the appetizers arrive. I have had this happen three times now. It’s very annoying.

   Overall nice restaurant and great ambiance. Music was way too loud, couldn’t hear each other talk at the table- had to shout. We were there for 2 hours and waiting 45-1 hour for our food, which was only okay for a $22 burger and $30 piece of chicken. Came out kind of cold. Cocktails were expensive but at least came out in a decent size. Our server was very nice but wish they would have pushed harder to get our food out. Couple behind us waited just as long too. Not sure we’d return. A bit too pricey for what it is.

    Food was good. Service wasn’t the best. The noise level was too loud. Couldn’t hear well to talk.
