LorenLoren: Lots of good choices for happy hour. But, really slow. No one here but took 20 minutes for 1 sushi roll. 40 minutes to get gyoza (which taste like they are stuffed with dog food - one thing to avoid).

Jenna R.Jenna Rhodes: Loved the Rocky's Choice for hibachi since it's a chicken and steak combo with shrimp as an appetizer. YUM! I also LOVE the baby blue ocean! Great for people that prefer their drinks on the sweet side
