If you like both lobster and macaroni and cheese then you must get the lobster mac n cheese, it's well worth the money.

Really cool place, food is great. Went with a group and everyone enjoyed it.

Great friendly service. Nice place for drinks and ambiance, not too crazy about the food. Oh, and hit the rooftop bar after dark, duh!

Still a fan of the classics: Rad na thai chicken and the calamari salad. But add extra calamari to your salad, it's WAY better that way.

Check out the upstairs for a retro-mod lounge area. If you eat here, get the Rad Na.

Try the Perfect Pear. grey goose la poire, thatcher's organic cucumber liqueur, st. germain elderflower liqueur, lemon and soda. Delicious and refreshing drink.

Everything is great no complaints about their food or hostesses..

Lots of douchebags and the glass looking in to the bathrooms is terrible but good food. Not enough to make up for the hipster douchers perhaps but still good.
EduardoSeptember 17, 2012
Try the Shrimp Tacos, Scallops, Ahi Tuna and the Quinoa Salad! Can't go wrong!
Gianna NebbiaFebruary 18, 2018
Go for the atmosphere. Food isn’t bad but a little overrated - the onion soup dumplings came out looking great but were just alright. Rad na noodle salad was pretty plain

It's a martini bar, so I guess you should try one of them. BUT Lobster Mashed potatoes are a must!

Bulgogi bowl is amazing. Do not look any further.

Sit on the rooftop but be weary of the fruity drinks! They include candy.

Lobster Mac and Cheese is made with Orzo and very little lobster
