Service was terrible, My first time here and I went to the bar outside to order a drink around 11pm…read moreand the asian woman who was bartending on 4/13/2026 decided to ignore me. like straight up. i was standing in front of her at the bar for like 5 min and she chose to serve everyone else around me but not me. At first i thought okay let me be patient so i waited, then when i leaned in and said "excuse me". she looked into my eyes and just turned away with no smile or acknowledgment. You can tell by the way someone looks at you if they want to engage. she was not gonna serve me. To test her, i left and sent my white female friend to go to her specifically and get a drink...not even a min later she had the beers. So idk what her problem was with me (a beautiful brown skinned male), but i hope she gets over it cause i will be back to ask for another beer.

Came here for the first time and sat at the bar at Offshore 9 Rooftop Lounge and honestly it was…read moresuch a good vibe. The view is really nice, especially around sunset, and it just feels super relaxed up there. Rebecca (the bartender) was the best part though. I had no idea what to order since it was my first time, and she was super sweet and patient, helping me figure out what I'd actually like instead of just rushing me. It made the whole experience feel way more comfortable. Drinks were good, vibes were good, and the service really stood out. I'd definitely come back.

I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday at offshore rooftop 9, but unfortunately,…read morethe overall experience ended up being disappointing. I do want to start by saying the staff was accommodating. When I made my reservation online, it only allowed me to book for six or eight guests (I can't remember which), but I had a party of 10. They were able to accommodate us and update the reservation so our full group could celebrate together, which I really appreciated. When I made the reservation, the only available time slot online was 8:45 PM. The earlier time slots were to early for the rest of my guest , so we booked what was offered. We didn't think that would leave us with such a short amount of time before closing at 10:00 PM. We also didn't realize until we got there that they don't serve full meals just appetizers. To be fair, I take some responsibility for that. I should have looked at the menu ahead of time, watched a few video reviews, and done a little more research before booking. That's on me. We still made the best of it. The girls were each able to enjoy a drink, the guys squeezed in two drinks each, and we ordered about three appetizers for the girls and three for the guys. Shortly after that, we were told it was last call for both drinks and appetizers because the kitchen and bar were closing. It felt like the evening ended almost as soon as it began. I do wish they had either not offered such a late reservation or at least let us know when booking that we'd have very limited time to order and enjoy the experience before everything shut down. If you're planning a birthday celebration or any gathering where you want to enjoy food, drinks, and time with your group, I would recommend booking an earlier reservation if possible or choosing another venue if only the late reservation is available. Hopefully, my experience helps someone else avoid making the same mistake.

From the moment these cocktails hit the table, I knew Jolie wasn't messing around. They were…read moreabsolutely gorgeous and tasted even better than they looked. The purple cocktail was one of the most unique drinks I've had in a long time--light, refreshing, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The presentation with the charred pineapple was such a cool touch that made it feel like they really care about every detail. The second cocktail was just as impressive, with bright citrus flavors that were incredibly refreshing and perfect for a warm Huntington Beach evening. The atmosphere at Jolie deserves just as much praise as the drinks. Sitting outside during golden hour with the ocean just down the street made for the perfect setting. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or just looking to unwind after work, this place has an amazing vibe. The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in, and you can tell they genuinely want everyone to have a great experience. Jolie has officially become one of my favorite spots in Huntington Beach. It's rare to find a place that nails the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service all at the same time, but they absolutely delivered. I already can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the cocktail menu because if these two drinks are any indication, I'm in for a treat. Huge shoutout to the entire team--you've earned a customer for life!

Jolie has a nice rooftop with views of the ocean and PCH. It's upscale but casual and quite lively…read moreand loud. Cocktails were a 10/10! The lobster roll was very tasty but did not come with enough lobster meat at all. It was majority bread and lettuce so probably not worth the price. The tuna crispy rice was a must-try and so were the black mussels. Calamari was quite good too. While the rooftop deck has a great view, the sun came down in the evening and essentially blinded everyone who was facing that way. There were no shades that could be lowered and many people were having to turn their chairs/crowd on one side of the table. This might not happen every evening but Jolie should ideally implement some shades or blinds that can be pulled down if it does happen.

As expected from the Kei Concepts group, QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine in Fountain Valley…read morecertainly does not disappoint! We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and making a reservation in advance was definitely the right move--we were seated right away as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere immediately sets the mood. The interior is modern and stylish, featuring warm lighting, beautiful wall decor, and really creative, eye-catching ceiling light fixtures that give the space a chic, elevated feel. The menu offers an incredible variety of contemporary Chinese dishes, making it perfect for family-style dining. We ordered a wide assortment of plates to share, and every single dish was flavorful and executed to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the noodle dishes--the texture of the hand-crafted noodles was top-tier, perfectly springy and chewy. Their HK style milk tea with cheese foam and grass jelly is highly recommended on the side note. I really enjoyed drinking it along with all my food. We finished our celebration with their mango shaved ice for dessert, which was refreshing, light, and the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. From the attentive service to the fantastic food and gorgeous setting, QUA made our birthday celebration special. Highly recommended for group gatherings or a nice dinner out!

Since its opening, I've dined at QUA several times for both lunch and dinner. Each time gets better…read moreand better. On a recent visit, I tried some items from their "Summer Bites" series. It goes without saying that their general Tso's chicken wings ($16) are quite good. The wings are coated in a sticky chili, sesame, scallion sauce. It's sweet, spicy, and very flavorful. We also tried chili crunch burrata ($14). They used a Chinese donut instead of bread or crackers. It's a really nice touch paired with the creamy burrata and chili crisp. My second favorite thing I've tasted is the crispy shrimp red rice roll ($9.50). Crispy shrimp is rolled into a rice roll. It's an unexpectedly tasty bite. Several pieces come in one order so it's perfect for sharing. But my very favorite thing from the menu are the spicy sauce noodles ($12). It gives Din Tai Fung spicy sauce noodles. The dish is simple - noodles are nestled in a Sichuan chili + soy sauce. The noodles are chewy and the sauce combo is slightly spicy with sweet undertones. What I love most about QUA are the seasonal changes to the menu. Obviously they can just stick to what works for them, but the ever evolving menu keeps me coming back. It keeps things new, fresh, and exciting.

Graceland Speakeasy in Huntington Beach was amazing. The atmosphere is such a vibe intimate,…read moreclassy, and fun without feeling overdone. The decor is absolutely beautiful, with a cozy lounge feel, great music, and that hidden speakeasy energy that makes the night feel special. It's tucked inside HQ Gastropub near the Huntington Beach Pier, with craft cocktails, gourmet food, and ocean-view charm. They also have lounge seating, a piano bar, fireplace, and 70s music, which adds to the whole experience.

This was my first speakeasy, FINALLY! I have been wanting to try one for years…read more We went on a Sunday which had both benefits and a few cons. This speakeasy is known for taking your cell phone and having a no photo policy. So when they didnt take our phones, we thought we were being sneaky with taking photos. Turns out on Sundays, it is their relaxed day where you are allowed to keep your phone, and they have the side door out onto PCH open. I loved this, but also hated it if I am being honest. PCH is so loud with motorcycles non stop, and it made the room very light. It didnt really feel like a speakeasy as you could enter right off the street. We entered through the hostess stand at HQ Gastropub. I had asked one of the hostesses what we needed to do and she stated she just arrived for work and I would have to ask another hostess when they came up to the stand. Bit weird, not the friendliest welcome, but the staff inside Graceland made up for that. The hostess lets them know we are there and someone comes out to take us back to the red door in the middle of the restaurant down a hall of colored barrels. Typically that is the only place you are allowed to take a photo before you hand over your phone. Back to the service. The bartender was AMAZING. She was so friendly and just amazing. Our waitress was great too, they were both helping us out. I wish I got the bartenders name, she was such a ray of sunshine and sparkle. Literally, she had a sequin top on and the sun hitting it put sparkle across the entire room. I had two glasses of chardonnay that were delicious. I also had a sip of my friends drinks and they were DELICIOUS! We did order food, and I ordered the spicy garlic edamame but never received it. I also was not charged for it, so it is what it is. The sushi nachos were good, as well as the beignets. I am not going to share the photos I took here, because I feel they want to keep it a surprise and I honor that. I would like to come back another time when the door is not open, it is darker and more private for the full speakeasy experience.

After our party of six chatted over cocktails and preyed on pupus, we moved to a "secret" room tucked in the back of Stowaway and walked into a Belly Of The Beast. The founders and co-owners of Stowaway, Leonard Chan and Dominic Iapello, created this extension to the tiki bar with a wildly interesting Pinocchio theme and the famed encounter with Monstro the whale all the while serving the same offerings in Stowaway but with also an exclusive limited menu just for this adventure. With its proximity to Disneyland and its Enchanted Tiki Room, with the very niche underground-like society of tiki culture they found a consistent customer base and the thrill of island escapism through colorful cocktails, pleasurable pupus, tropical trimmings, and nostalgic know-how. How would my belly handle the beastly drinks concocted here!? PURCHASE(S) Gepetto's Last Words ($16.00): Intrigued by the cocktail's name, this elixir was crafted with Fid Street Gin, tangerine, creme de violette, lemon, and cucumber, it was a citrusy refreshing sweet drink that was decorated with bright yellow petals. It was nice, but for whatever reason it just didn't quite hit the spot. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($9.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the catsup wasn't needed but used. SERVICE While in Stowaway, we informed our male server to let us know when we were allowed to enter the belly. Once inside and situated, we had the place and bartender to ourselves. After we all perused the menu, we placed our orders, and everything arrived within ten minutes. The rest of the time was spent chatting, picture taking, and our bartender checked in on us also giving a Dole Whip taster. All was casual, chill, and somewhat on island time - aloha and mahalo! PARKING (FREE): They shared a medium-sized private lot with several other businesses who were closed at this time with plenty of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE "Hidden" inside Stowaway which was located within a strip mall, the entire theme was based on the Pinocchio story, the interlude in time spent inside Monstro, and as we entered it felt like the beginning of the Disneyland "Storybook" ride as you road a canal boat into the mouth and sharp teet of a whale. There were several marionettes (appropriate and non-appropriate) that hung from the ceiling and belly walls, along with other Disneyesque memorabilia, a few sitting booths, and a tiny bar at the end of the roo. No natural lighting whatsoever while an assortment of extremely low-lit electric lights and table candles glowed. There were no TVs while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Although I was actually dressed appropriately for the occasion in an aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops, this place was totally casual, so a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops would suffice. OVERALL Belly Of The Beast was an adventurous fun evening with friends, it left me feeling childlike with the need to watch "Pinocchio", and I couldn't wait to return to try more of their awesome-soundling elixirs. I generally loved all-things Disneyana, and this new wrinkle, albeit probably not approved by the mouse ears brass, caught my fancy. My one drink was tasty but just didn't hit the right spot, the onion rings were very good, the prices were a tad elevated, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was friendly and professional. They had an extremely limited menu, and there was some doubt whether or not ordering from the Stowaway menu was an option. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
