    Attentive staff, fast service, and spectacular food. The atmosphere is lively but still allows for conversation without shouting. Highly recommend and would gladly return!

    My husband and I were on the strip and wanted to grab a bite to eat. There were 2 seats at the outdoor bar, which we took right away. The first thing we noticed was that the lights at the bar had a strobe to them. We had one waitress/bartender take our order and get us a drink and then she disappeared. We were then served by another woman who had a friend at the bar who took a lot of her attention. The food deliverers were VERY confused. We had food that wasn't ours delivered to us three times, and our food arrived late. The quality of the food was good, but not outstanding (we had two wonderful meals at Burlock Coast and Takato, both of which set the bar high). Dessert was "Toll House cookie pie," which was not toll house cookie pie. It was fine, but definitely not what it was sold as. By the end of our meal, we were ready to leave and could not find a bartender anywhere. It was a pretty rough night (And it was a Wednesday).

    We started with the bang bang shrimp ($18) and grilled octopus ($21). Well, that was supposed to be the apps. But after the shrimp came, then came my entree of a sushi box ($60). No food yet for my partner. Then his sea bass entree ($49) came… but no appetizer yet. We also had grilled asparagus ($9). We asked what happened to it and at first no one seemed to know. Later a manager came and apologized and said he would comp the octopus which still hadn’t arrived. We were mostly done eating by the time it showed up. It was not warm. When the bill came the octopus was comped, but they had charged us for two orders of octopus. When I pointed that out to our server Lamia, she said no, I was wrong. I asked her to look again at the bill and she started to argue I was wrong but then realized no, she was wrong and corrected the bill. The food tasted ok, nothing great but the server interaction really left us cold. The music level made it almost impossible to hear people talking.
