    Attractive servers, SUPERB drinks, scrumptious sushi, great DJ= best happy hour I've been to in a while. Cool place to chill on the patio, style & profile, and tell the waitress keep em coming!

    Sexy yet relaxing spot to take in light, healthy asian/cali fusion and a nice glass of wine, on Ocean blvd. Also good for after work.

    Refused entry to me because I had a backpack. I was coming from work with friends, and didn't have a chance to drop it off! I had been in there before with no problems. Will I go there again? NEVER!

    Not a great menu selection. Bottomless champagne on Sunday is $15. Kind of expensive for what it is. And they don't have brunch.

    It has great happy hour specials but they are always understaffed so you end up with very slow service.

    Breakfast staff doesn't know how to poach eggs? Don't have benedicts on your menu, dumb-asses.

    This place went downhill too long ago...novice service, bad food, and aged decor. It's proximity to the beach is it's saving grace.
