The service stood out right away, very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast, which was a plus. As for the food, it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor, but the ranch was a bit watery and could definitely use more seasoning. The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch. Overall, it's a solid spot for happy hour with good prices, generous portions, and great service.

I actually loved this place when I first visited. The oud aroma was amazing, the atmosphere felt…read moresophisticated, and the crowd had great energy. Unfortunately, that seems to have changed over time. Lately, the vibe feels completely different. The environment has become uncomfortable, with some guests appearing more focused on attracting attention ( I guess they're trying to find a client) than simply enjoying the venue. There have also been incidents of intoxicated patrons being rude, pushing through people at the bar, and creating unnecessary tension with other women who were simply there to enjoy their evening. It's disappointing because this place used to feel elegant and welcoming. I genuinely hope management takes notice and works to restore the classy atmosphere that made it special in the first place.

If going twice in two nights when visiting from L.A. isn't a testament to a great bar, I don't know…read morewhat is. I ate at Norigami Tuesday night and it was great as were the cocktails served up at the nextdoor bar called Hidden Bar. On Tuesday, I tried the Thai Chili Ginger Margarita ($13) and it was great, complete with a hunk of candied ginger which I "gingerly" consumed throughout my drink experience...see what I did there? Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious. Last night, I was guided by the friendly bartender to try the Et Tu Banana" ($15) with Banana Bourbon, Spiced Pear, Creme de Banane, Campari and Citric Acid. I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic. Ambiance is nice with moody lighting. They even have a bidet toilet seat in the bathroom! Hidden Bar is a "hidden" gem, for sure. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor.

Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!

No single women want to go here due to the location and staff. Men take a chance at your own risk. The worst part about this place is they want you to sign up for a monthly membership and even after you cancel they will continue to charge your account until you call them. $120 for single me is crazy. Go to Encounters or any other place that has been around and established for years. Less expensive and better vibes!

Restrooms clean, beautiful interior with hands free soap and dryer. The band played Oldies R&B. We did not have to pay for lounge seating. 30 minutes after ordering the lamb chop special, I asked about the wait time as it had not arrived. The manager informed me the meat was not prepared and to wait another 40 minutes. He replenished my mixer on the house. While I enjoyed the meal of lamb chops, fresh asparagus, mashed potatoes (instant?), it was served in to-go containers. $40? I expect a worthy plated presentation with real silverware. They did not have a knife to give me either. I failed to capture a photo because I was so hungry. At the end of the day, I would definitely return without warning food.

It wasn't too crowded & the drinks were good. My only complaint is that there wasn't any waitstaff. We got there early, only 2 other patrons & no one greeted us or took drink or food orders. Also, we did order food & the first order took a long time, however our 2nd order didn't take long. I'll definitely return for the music & the drinks.

We started off with a round of cocktails and a round of shots. The drinks were pretty good and I liked that they had some interesting flavor combinations. The lower rating is due to our server and the price. Price wise, the cocktails were a little up there but it was probably the shots that sent the bill skyrocketing (so honestly kind of our bad). I didn't catch our server's name, but he seemed to have a little 'tude about him as we asked questions or asked him to take our picture. A few remarks also felt a bit condescending.
