So fun! Note: if you have an out of state license, you need a second form of ID.

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food. What we got Kiki's marmalade buns Castle in the sky Milk Punch May All your bacon burn

I guess everyone is a beginner at some point! I hope to go back and improve my skills!

So far bad experience with customer service and I haven't even arrived at my reservation yet…read more Their note on their "policy" is misleading so I called to question why are they only 18+? She gave me an attitude with tutting her teeth at my question. If you get annoyed about these questions then change your note to be more clear. Update: wait staff is great, handles everything well. It is a bit chaotic because it's busy but the girls had a blast. Hosted my daughter's 15th and some of her Varsity team came to celebrate. They sang their butts off. The food was decent, prices were a tad expensive for bar food but plentiful. I paid around $304.00 for 2 hours and like 5 big appetizers not alcohol of course. They made a mistake with my order so I couldn't eat until I got home but they didn't charge me twice for it and apologized which was good enough for me. Very sincere with their apology, crap happens. Scenery for young teenagers was excellent, would come back again.

I'd say it's probably 15 seats on a wrap-around bar or so, with a few outdoors and a few by the window. Chandeliers galore. Not my style though, and the chairs all had pretty scratched-up leather. My friend thought the flavors of her drink were overpowering (chocolate shavings on ice and mango) but the "honey" drink was easy and smooth!

Fortunately, it seems like they are no longer standing room only and there are seats around the bar along with a few high tables. We were seated at the bar immediately. The cocktail selection was pretty diverse and they offered a few small bites. I had the ORCHARD IT and my friend had the PANDAN OF. Both of us enjoyed our selections but as other reviewers said, the drinks seemed slightly under-poured for what we paid. The volume in my drink came up to about halfway of the height of the large ice cubes. Service was quick, the bartenders attentive. Cute decorations and overall nice ambience. I might consider going back!

I thought I was going to get the happy hour special, when the bill came, it was $35 instead of $20, they said since I came in at 6:09 PM they would not honor the happy hour, given it is their right as a business and it is their policy, it left a very bad taste on my mouth as a first time customer, and I will say that them not making an exception just lost a potential recurring patron over them making an extra $15. I still tipped 20%, but I will not come back here again.
