    Those 5$ lychee martinis!!! By the time me and my friends ordered 4th round I realized I loved it so much not because of the drink itself but because of the fruit! Lol. Cocktail itself is good too)

    The chicken satay & spicy chicken dumplings are great...the calamari is a southeast Asian take on the traditional Italian app but is really good as well. Happy hour is 'til 10pm so that's a plus too!

    The south-east Asian inspired small plates and tapas are great for earlier in the night when the crowd isn’t so busy, but are all flavorsome & delicious cocktail bites. Read more

    Happy hour drinks pack a nice punch....a bit on the cozy side does get packed during happy hour but that's to be expected. Delicious appetizers.

    Doesn't matter if you're counting them as one of your five a day, do not binge eat their alcohol soaked Lychees. I learned this lesson the hard way.

    Come in, relax & have a $4 Lychee Martini. If you're here that's your drink & you're looking to have a few. The food here is weak but the happy hour deals are extensive so you won't notice.

    It's a tiny place. If coming with a huge crowd, make a reservation. If not, watch out for waiters glaring at you. The lychee martinis are STRONG. 1-3 will leave you better than good.

    Really nice martini bar in a great area. It's nice and big but one of the waitresses is kind of a shrew. The bartenders are cool though. Tip: Go to the bar and get your own drink, service is slow

    Keith is a doll, very attentive and sweet. But, if you're here on a Saturday ask for Xavier. Call him "The lawn mower" to see how he reacts.
