SWAYINGAWAY 3⁄5 Stars One of my friends been wanting to go to Sway for a couple weeks, and we finally planned a night to go. I enjoyed myself here, but there was nothing that was stood out a lot or made me want to come back with more people. It was a one-time visit type of thing. Gotta Try: My favorite dish was the Bacon & Shrimp Mac-N– Cheese. I am bias to cheese dishes, but for the money spent and the taste, it was worth it. It had two battered shrimp on top and had lots of little shrimp in every bite. There was crispy bacon sprinkled on top. It was definitely a MUST!!! Food The other food was tasty. Every dish had flavor, nothing was dull or tasteless. Environment: I honestly love the vibe and the décor in Sway. It is very Modern, Hip & Spacious. The lighting is bright enough to see what you are eating on your table, and dimmed around you so you feel like you’re in a private area. The tables and seats are up-to-date and comfortable. Feels like I’m dining in an Inspiration Dining Room display. Service: Ok. Our servers were every nice when we were blessed with their presence, but they didn’t see too familiar with what was available or not. We would order something and they would have to come back to say they don’t have it. It already took us awhile to narrow down what we wanted and we were excited to order and try what we wanted, then after out orders were taken we would be notified later that it wasn’t available. It was a bit disappointing. Location: The restaurant is in the STAY hotel. Parking is very very tight and gated. So you have to pull into a very steep, tight and gated driveway to go under the hotel. If there is space, the worker has to open the gate for you. I suggest you only park here if you have a compact car. We were in a 4runner and had the hardest time parking. There are only 10 or less stalls under the hotel, so you’ll be lucky if you get a stall. Overall, the food was good and the place was great. I would tell people to try it out for themselves, but it wasn’t that amazing where I am dying to go back. I left satisfied, but in no rush to return.

My friend and I were looking for a quiet place to get a drink and a bite. We were not disappointed by Sway. Walking in, you pass through the hotel’s Euro-style lobby. The restaurant/bar itself is cozy, with dim lighting. Food was great, kind of Asian/American fusion. Simple menu, but my burger was outstanding. Mike the bartender was awesome! He whipped up quite a mean martini for me, and he was very friendly. Absolutely would go back!

Delicious food and friendly service. We ordered the edamame, chicken wings and a burger to share. Everything was awesome. The couple next to us were raving about the ribs and what they believed to be the best sweet potato fries they have ever had. The regular fries we tried with our burger were quite tasty with the perfect amount of salt and a sriracha mayo for dipping. The edamame were coated in flavor. The burger was juicy and huge with bacon and blue cheese melted all over it. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

Sway is a swanky little restaurant/bar in Waikiki. Would of never known about this place if it wasn’t for Unilocal!It can be easy to miss since it’s located inside a hotel. My girlfriends and I came here on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly kind of dead. Few people were sitting at the bar but most of the tables were available. It took awhile before someone came to seat us. The girl that did wasn’t very friendly. We had another server that came to take our orders. Didn’t catch his name but he was very informative and helpful! The menu is pretty simple. Everything sounded really good but we decided to keep it «light» because were heading out for a night out in town after. Although their burgers looked super good!!! Unfortunately the 2 dishes we wanted were out of order cause they didn’t have enough ahi! They were, however, able to do the ahi spring rolls. So we ordered that(nothing spectacular) and the edamame which was very flavorful and garlicky. We also got the chicken salad which was pretty much a bed of chopped lettuce, chicken and an over easy egg on top. It didn’t look too impressive but the chicken was surprisingly very tender and the dressing was good. Then of course we couldn’t resist the Belgium fries! So yummy!(Yes french fries are a weakness of mine). Portions are huge! Food was a little pricey but that’s kind of expected since it’s in Waikiki. Fyi. Parking was a pain as is most parking is in Waikiki. There’s a parking structure next to the hotel but it was full at the time. The lady suggested parking in the lot which was a little further down. I think it’s supposed to be $ 15 to park there(crazy ridiculous!) but the guy let us get away with $ 10. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here unless I just happen to be in the area.

Our«babysitter»(family member) just returned from a long vacation, so the Hubby and I hadn’t had a «date night» in months. I was looking forward to finally using my Groupon I purchased for Sway before it expired next month. When we were seated I couldn’t help but think maybe purchasing this Groupon was a bad move. Here we were on a Friday night, in Waikiki and we were the ONLY people in the restaurant and bar. They had quite a few people working, so I figured maybe it’d pick up in no time. They have a full bar, but their drink menu has a list of 6 recommended drinks by each bartender. I ordered the«Daisy» drink which surprisingly we later discovered was our server’s recommendation. It has Marilyn Monroe Strawberry vodka, fresh mint, lime and soda. If you love mojitos like I do, you’d LOVE a «Daisy». I’d definitely order this drink again. Hubby and I decided to share the Seared Ahi Entrée.(Fresh Ahi tuna rolled in fresh cracked pepper, lightly seasoned and seared, served with rice, wasabi aioli and ginger). Every bite was mouth-watering and the wasabi aioli sauce was perfection. We also shared their Big Boy Burger(10 oz burger with smoked blue cheese, apple wood smoked bacon, fried egg and crispy onion strings and side of Belgian fries). I don’t care much for burgers, so I figured I’d take my usual ¼ and let him have the rest. I was very mistaken this time, as I quickly realized after inhaling ½ of the burger. Their belgian fries are crispy and flavorful. For dessert, we had their Steamed Chocolate Cake with salted 5 spice caramel sauce, macadamia brittle and Vanilla ice cream. It normally comes with Kona coffee gelato, but my husband despises anything coffee flavored(What a freak right?). They were very nice to let us substitute. Even though I love chocolate, I’m not a fan of brownies or even chocolate cake. So I figured I’d take a bite to try and let him eat the rest. After all, I was already a bit full from eating more than I had expected to. It’s a good thing I wasn’t on a first date, because I practically licked the plate clean. They have a pretty small menu, but maybe that’s why they are able to perfect these dishes. By the time we left, only 1 other couple came in to eat. Not sure if we just caught them on an off night, but I hope this isn’t a sign that they are hurting for business. Because we intend to come back often! # 3⁄100 Unilocal 100 Review Challenge 2014

Sway Restaurant + Bar is one of those swanky places that has recently washed up ashore on the trendy streets of inner Waikiki. My friend and I decided to try this place out for their happy hour. As with every establishment in Waikiki, parking was a nuisance. Sway is located just one block from Kalakaua Ave. near(what I believe is) the Hyatt Regency towers. Since parking is scarce, there is a small parking lot just down the street(Diamond Head direction of Koa Ave.) which is open to the public, but comes with a $ 9 – 10 parking fee, which in the heat of the moment… is a deal… unfortunately. It surely beats making the trek from the shopping center and circling the block about a dozen times. Simply go to the front desk of the adjoining building when you’re done, and you are on your way. We arrived at Sway at around 4:30 in the afternoon. Their kitchen fully opens at 5pm, so until then they have a selected pupus/appetizer menu. However, the bar is fully open! I wish they had more options for happy hour food-wise because our only option was to order 1 of 2 types of fries, chicken wings, and edamame. We really wanted to try their other selections aka their yellowfin tuna roll and kalbi! The food was really tasty and fun. The Belgian fries are addicting and are accompanied with 3 different types of sauces. The chicken wings were also delicious and beautifully presented with 5-star plating. My friend and I also ordered fun and cool cocktails! The cool part about their drink menu is that they have a list of each server’s favorite drinks, which is helpful when you can’t decide on an adventurous cocktail! We had Adrienne’s special as well as Adrienne as our server! A very cool concept. Food and drinks I think, were appropriately priced. You get A LOT for what you pay, our orders were plentifully perfect! Since we were there for happy hour(and quite early) Sway was not crowded at all, which for a Waikiki hotel restaurant, is niceeee. I would like to go back when it is more bumpin’ just so I can take in the whole effect. I also really enjoyed the music they play, which is loungy Sinatra and Bobby Darin tunes that takes you back to a time where drinks were sipped, not chugged. It’s a classy feeling. The décor however, is a little too dark for my taste, but it’s still a nice place to lay low and have fun with friends or a date. The staff was very friendly and helpful and appropriately checked in with us throughout the duration of our stay. All in all a good experience. ALSO they have a Unilocal check-in offer for a free dessert with an entrée, cannot wait to use it on my next visit! Food: 4⁄5 Ambiance: 3.5÷5 Accessibility: 2⁄5(not their fault) Price: 5⁄5 $$ Overall: 3⁄5

Sat at the bar on a Saturday night and the place wasn’t too busy. The restaurant is tucked into the lobby of the Stay Hotel one block from the beach in Waikiki, behind the Hyatt. Very cool vibe and décor and the staff was very friendly. Small menu, but a great place to grab a bit or dinner. Started with a few beers and they have a great beer selection. A couple of local and mainland craft breweries on tap as well as in bottle. The bartender started off by saying they were out of 3 ahi tuna items and the sweet potato fries.(Good rule of thumb, don’t start me off on a negative, wait until I order and then let me down slowly. I may not have been interested in them anyway and wouldn’t have even known you were out) Burger was a perfectly cooked medium rare, Big Island beef patty on a nice soft bun… highly recommended unless you are one of those«well done» burger people. I never understood the point of ordering a burger if you want to cook all the flavor out of it. The carne asada beef tacos were OK, just didn’t have a ton of flavor. I added some hot sauce to kick them up a bit. They offer corn and flour tortilla options and I should have stuck with my gut and ordered flour. I know, I know… everyone loves corn tortillas, I guess I’m the 1% who likes flour. Overall, I would definitely go back and grab a bite again and enjoy some good beers.

Second visit and look forward to coming back! Friendly and attentive staff, decent beer selection, chill ambience, and tasty menu with good portions at reasonable prices for Waikiki. I had Island salad with cranberries, grilled pineapple bits, and pineapple habanero dressing; Kalbi beef tacos with sesame dressing(ono!); chocolate cake with Kona coffee ice cream. Burgers are all great too… and tall! You could easily split between two people.

3 stars for food, 4 stars for manager service. Thanks to the Unilocaler who posted the tip on the location! I rarely go to King’s Village and I think have never walked down Koa Ave. It’s tucked into Stay Hotel next to a surf shop. When you think you’re going the wrong way for sure, you’ll arrive there. The sweet potato fries with sriracha dipping sauce were great. They came piping hot and delicious. My friend liked her cheddar burger. The kalbi tacos were kinda junk. The kim chee was good, but the meat was blah as there was no seasoning. I probably should have sent them back, but didn’t. That was my fault. The steamed chocolate cake with coffee ice cream was awesome and a nice way to finish the meal. Cons: server was nice, but a bit odd. I don’t really like it when someone is surprised to hear I’m hapa since I look«so much like their haole friend from the mainland.» Perhaps no need to make assumptions about race next time. Parking is hard. We called and asked where to park and the hotel rudely said, «find your own on the street.» Blah to that lady. Pros: Unilocal deal — purchase $ 15 for $ 30 credit. We got an app and 2 entrees with total bill 17.02 thanks to the deal(no worries, we left a nice tip). The manager was also amazing as he honored that both of us had Unilocal apps and gave us a free dessert for checking in as well. Bonus!

The food is decent and flavorful. We shared severally plates: –Special: Mac and cheese w/shrimp. This was mild in flavor and a bit runny. I like a cheesier Mac and cheese. Btw, you get two shrimps. –Wings. Good flavor but eat it after the Mac and cheese or the Mac and cheese tastes like nothing. –Sweet potato fries. Delicious! Get this! –Crab cakes. Very good, not oily and not too heavy. — Calamari. Good, lightly battered but nothing special. I will come back if someone else wanted too, but probably won’t be my go to.

Holy crap… I will be dreaming about their drinks for the rest of my life! We came here one night because we were staying in the hotel… we thought we would check it out. DRINKS: Very strong! I ordered one of their signature Mai Tai’s and it about knocked me on my ass. Their mojitos were amazing as well. All their signature drinks are really finely crafted and a great price for the attention that goes into them. Our bartender(I’m sorry, I can’t remember your name, but you were tall, dark, and handsome), made us some really original drinks of his own that were mind blowing. FOOD: Great for the price. Dinner in Waikiki is expensive! Expect to pay at least $ 25−30/person on a dinner menu at a restaurant. The food at Sway is great, portions were perfect size, and price was amazing for the quality. We got the sweet potato fries and one of the burgers… both were delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Drinks and dinner were amazing and well crafted and a great price. Atmosphere was quiet and tucked away… a nice change from the busy strip right out the door.

I came back to Sway after just a week. Those who know me know that I hate driving into town. Sway had a way of calling me back. As soon as I entered I was welcomed back by the Manager Dave. This is a great mark of great service, to be remembered. I sat at the bar this time. On my last visit I asked Dave if he knew how to make a SideCar. This is my benchmark cocktail, it’s best decribed as a Cognac version of a Margarita(only better). It’s arguably one of the best cocktails to come out of the prohibition era. Dave nailed it and with that earned my trust, so when he asked me what was I having I didn’t hesitate to say… «Surprise me.» With a more novice bartender this is a scary move. Lots of fluff is added to drinks but not with Dave. He mentioned a new drink he’s been working with using his Kona Dark Roast vodka. It was so new he didn’t have a name. It was unique and new so clearly it was screaming my name! I can best describe it as Kona coffee making love to Horchata in a sea of alcohol. Horchata is a cinnamon spiced rice milk. Smooth creamy texture with a subtle expression of cinnamon that’s reminesent of Christmas. Dammit now I want a Horchata. Anyways, name or no name this Café-Chata thing was awesome and the best part… every ingredient was alcohol! No filler. Needless to say Dave did not disappoint. Wanna try something new? Tell Dave to surprise you!

Sway The GM David and our personal server Ron helped to make our evening a delightful one! What stands out here is a good selection of handcrafted drinks and creatively infused house-made vodkas they create in their own space — reminiscent of speak-easy bars in Denver. The feel of the restaurant is that of an Intimate and romantic décor perfect for a quiet gno or date night. Tonight’s selection of handcrafted vodka infusions included strawberry jalapeño along with blueberry mint and rosemary garlic with lemon. The smart and innovative combinations of flavors make drinks here top-notch. Food: we started with the chateaubriand wrap(beef rolled in sun-dried tomato tortilla) with a drizzling of bearnaise sauce(sooooo wish they would serve breakfast here!) served with pickled fennel. We also ordered the edamame which came with a surprising but delicious hint of fresh grated ginger for appetizers. The Sunday special is a pulled pork sandwich with an amazing sauce, sweet potato fries with sriacha aioli, & purple cabbage slaw — my tastebuds were dancing a happy dance with this dish! We also tried the ahi poke bowl which was good but not something I would come here specifically for as other dishes definitely stood out. My fav was the shrimp Mac and cheese with bacon crumble sprinkles –IMHO the best dish of the night. The service was on par and maybe because it was a Sunday night — Ron gave us excellent food and drink recommendations and attentive and prompt service that really made this a wonderful evening to catch up with friends old and new. From the way they treat their customers it really felt like we had our own personal service. For Dessert we had the steamed chocolate cake with coffee gelato, salted caramel sauce and chocolate drizzle… we were so full from the apps and main courses that as delicious as this was, we couldn’t finish it! Sway is a great place and ill definitely come back for seconds!

I had this idea in my head that the Stay Hotel was a trendy hip boutique hotel… and maybe it is, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the looks of the lobby. So, I expected the restaurant to be fancy. But it wasn’t. It’s more of a dimly lit bar — low key and laid back. Which I fancy. They have an extensive drink menu with their own signature creations and an overwhelming number of beers on draft. We ordered the chateaubriand wraps and peppered ahi sashimi for appetizers. I loved the pickled fennel the«chat» wraps came with. We shared 3 entrees: the Stay Burger, fish and chips, and the shrimp mac and cheese. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed everything. I especially liked the Belgian fries and the sweet potato fries. I just couldn’t get enough. For dessert, we had the banana spring rolls with Tahitian vanilla gelato and just a scoop of the coffee gelato. We also ordered their homemade 100% kona coffee infused vodka with amarula. You must try it. They described it as a white Russian on steroids. Serious good stuff. The staff was great and we had an awesome time! Street parking but there is a lot on Koa Ave. $ 10 flat rate.

Sway Restaurant + Bar definitely lived up to my expectations. My husband and I went there for dinner after the Aloha Live show to use a Living Social deal I had purchased. The restaurant itself is dim with red lighting. Servers are very attentive, ours took the time to explain the daily specials, one of which we ended up ordering. We ordered the Mac n Cheese with applewood smoked bacon and seared shrimp topped with prawns, Kalbi braised beef tacos topped with Kim Chee, and French fries served with 3 different sauces– pineapple hot mustard, blue cheese, and adobo ketchup. For drinks, I ordered the Lilikoi(passion fruit) mojito and my husband ordered a white I.P.A. Everything tasted so good! Even though it seemed like we didn’t order a whole lot, our stomachs were still full because of the richness in flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner!

I’ll keep it simple… great service, great food, and great atmosphere. Ask for the specials and recommendations. Dave the GM was awesome: D Favorite place in Waikiki. PS. If they are running a special that involves Mac N Cheese with bacon and shrimp, GETIT. PSS. The banana dessert thing was awesome.

Since my husband and I were staying at the hotel that Sway is located in we decided to give this place a try. Parking: I would suggest parking at King’s Village if there is no street parking. Environment: Hip, cool, and chic lounge environment. I think that if they would add live local artists to this could make this place a great spot to chill and hangout. Food: Asian twist to American dishes. My husband and I just came from dinner but we wanted to wind down the night with a few drinks before bed. I’ve become a light weight when it comes to drinking I always need something to munch on while I drink. What we tried: *Edamame On the menu it says it is flash fried but I couldn’t tell the difference from when it’s boiled. I enjoyed it none the less. *Chateaubriand Wrap It’s grilled filet of beef and bearnaise sauce in a sun dried tomato tortilla wrap. It was accompanied with picked fennel and parsley. My Unilocaler bud Rod U. noticed the different cooking temps for each roll when I posted up the picture. I enjoyed eating this roll while drinking. It hit the spot. *****Steamed Chocolate Cake******** She was brought out looking so lovely. Just like a women wearing bright red lipstick to bring her inner sexy out. This gal had a red strawberry enticing us to indulge in her. After each bite I had to blurt out how much I enjoyed having her in my mouth, «this is so good.» It was so good I started comparing he to other flames and my hubby started to do the same. This delicious m-o-i-s-t decadent chocolate cake was orgasmic and the Kona coffee gelato just topped it off. Remember to swirl the duo with the 5 spice caramel sauce. She was all in one experience moist, crunchy(macadamia nut brittle), and saucy. I’m salivating at the mere thought of her! Drinks: My hubby didn’t try any of the beers. He ordered different cocktails which were all good(not on the Sway beverages menu). Sway offers 27 different beers and 12 of them are on draft. I however sipped on an expensive rubbing alcohol. Yes, it tasted like straight up rubbing alcohol. Stay clear of the Mai Tai’s here. Like most Mai Tai’s it’s made out of rum, orange juice, pineapple juice and a splash of cranberry juice. The rum that Stay uses is called Old Lahina rum. Service: We dinned late so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very pleasant and she checked on us periodically. The chef/cook brought out our food and checked on us. He noticed that our dessert came in the middle of our appetizers and he offered to take it back. I told him I’m a dessert lover and I had told our bartender what ever comes out first is fine. Other Info: Hours: 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily Happy Hours: 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily If the parking situation was better and if they offered live music I would totally be a fan of this place. For now it’s an A-Ok in my book.

I came here with my brother for dinner around 7pm on a Monday after reading the good reviews. I can’t believe the former reviews because the food we ordered was not good: — We had the fish tacos which looked very nice but had NOSALT on them which made them taste of nothing. Shame because I wanted my brother to have good fish tacos for his first time trying it. — Next we ordered two«Sway burgers» cooked medium-rare when asked. They came out well done and burned. The patties had black marks and tasted charcoal. Not surprised tho since it seemed to be store-bought patties and not home made…(so why do they even ask?) — The bread on the burger was cold,(or at least cool), like straight out of the bag/fridge. I think hamburger breads should be slightly fried or at least room temperature to go with the rest of the burger. — Turkey spread was like 1 teaspoon in the middle of the burger which didn’t do anything to lift it. The only positives with our visit was the waitress who was very friendly and positive(but let the man next to our table sit and watch his burger laying on the counter for like 5 minutes before he got it to his table). Sweet potato fries were okay too. I feel this place has potential, and you expect high quality since it’s a hotel restaurant — but $ 50 later we were very disappointed with our dinner =\

Before you head here you may want to call and check if there’s parking. There normally isn’t as the lot is reserved for hotel guest. The restaurant is in the Stay Waikiki Hotel. Yes, I just said that you heard right. It’s tucked away on Koa Avenue behind the Hyatt Hotel. Met a Japanese food writer here who wanted to do a new story on a local eatery in Waikiki. He had heard about this place through the grapevine and wanted to check it out. So with his wife and my girlfriend we hopped on over. I had to park at the Royal Hawaiian Center since this place has no parking. You could park at the Zoo too and basically trek the 3 blocks to get here, something which I don’t mind but I’m not you. The waitress sat us down and informed us that they literally opened their doors 3 weeks ago. Aside from a few bar patrons we were the only ones in the dining area. My initial thought was that I was digging the ambiance and felt this could be a hidden gem of a hangout. The drink menu was quite large with mixed drinks, wine and beers so that was already a plus. We ordered a few dishes to share and were told the portions were quite generous for the price which is something that you don’t normally find in Waikiki so that was nice too. Our first dish was a Huli Huli Chicken Salad with Romain lettuce, bibb, toasted macadamia nuts, pineapple habanero vinaigrette and a fried egg. I’ll be honest this dish wasn’t our favorite. It was actually quite odd as the Mac nuts didn’t seem to taste toasted and the dressing really didn’t have any flavor. It was very light to the point it almost tasted like oil. I guess our server felt so bad about it that they actually comped us this dish, which was very nice of them. Next we had the poke bowl. It was actually served on a plate but who’s counting? The poke was quite light, added a touch of soy sauce and it was great. We had the Kalbi Tacos with braised beef short rib, kimchi, spicy kalbi glaze and sesame dressing. If it was there we didn’t see or taste the glaze and sesame dressing. There were a few pieces of meat that were fatty and it seemed like the kimchi overpowered everything which may be why we didn’t taste the glaze and dressing. I was excited to try the Bahn Mi burger since you normally don’t find that anywhere. It came with sliced cucumbers, pickled carrot, daikon radish, sliced jalapenos and nuoc cham chay mayonnaise and your choice of Belgian or Sweet potato fries. We felt like we didn’t get the full flavor of the burger, just the bitterness from the grill marks that you get in a Whopper, and unlike most Bahn Mi sandwiches you’re use to, it didn’t have that really vinegary taste you get from the pickles or the spice from a sriracha aioli. We ordered the Sweet potato fries but it came with the Belgian. We were told we can keep the Belgian and they gave us the Sweet potato fries. Both set of fries were pretty awesome. I actually liked the sweet potato fries better than any I’ve had on the island and that’s a few places. It came with a Sriracha Mayo and we were like the Burger should have this! For drinks, ambiance and service we really enjoyed this place. The food needs a little work but that’s to be expected out of any new eatery. I’m looking forward to when things have been smoothed out, so 3 stars for now but their is a lot of potential here. I just want to reiterate the great service we had, you don’t hear of many restaurants comping us for a dish that we didn’t enjoy and instead of taking back the Belgian fries they just gave it to us on top of the sweet potato fries. 2 thumbs up for that, I hope more folks will come and check this place out.

Stopped in during happy hour; and since only well liquor and beer was the happy hour special, I decided to just get one of their signature cocktails. I opted for the Grass skirt margarita @ $ 8, not too bad for this awesome concoction. While not a fan of a margarita, I had to try something which was a specialty item to see how it measured up. Definitely would recommend it — the coconut crème made it perfectly balanced. However, a happy hour should at least perhaps extend a $ 1 or so off of the specialty drinks and superior/call liquor. I believe they would get a better turn out during 4−6pm. I mean, who drinks well liquor these days anyway, and do you really want to get a bad headache from cheap swill? :-) The«No Fuss» burger was excellent tasting and cooked as per my request. Nothing like grass fed beef, clean and pure. It came with house cured pickles that I could have had more of, it was that yummy. In addition, the burger came with Belgian cut fries and 3 dipping sauces. My fave of the 3 was the Maytag Blue Cheese/Mayo for certain! I am not a fan of anything Chipotle or of the sweet mustard variety which made up the other 2 sauces. All in all though, the food and cocktail were great, and the customer service matched the meal. Dave the bartender did a superb job checking in on me throughout my dining experience. PS — their bar edamame and house made chips are noteworthy as well. I shall return! Patrick :-)
