This place is very sexy and perfect for date night! We had reservations at 9:30pm on a Saturday…read morenight but I saw they close at 9:30pm so I was scared they were closing soon and decided to come a bit earlier. When we arrived, the restaurant was bustling. Fortunately, the bar is located in the front next to the check in counter and they have couches where you can sit while enjoying a drink and browsing the menu. The only thing I didn't really like was that they make you close your tab at the bar before you get seated instead of adding the tab to your final bill.
For drinks, we ordered the Artemis, Midnight in Manila, and 7 Star Sling. Midnight in Manila tasted like coconut juice with a hint of ube flavor. That was our favorite drink. The Artemis was also good but I wish the lychee flavor was stronger. We did not like the 7 Star Sling because it tasted very sharp and bitter. For a non-alcoholic option, we ordered the Melon Milk Tea which was surprisingly really good. The drink was light and refreshing and the boba was the perfect chewy texture.
For food, we ordered the tuna kinilaw, coconut prawns, coal roasted cabbage, wagyu corned beef fried rice, and lobster palabok. Everything was good except for the coal roasted cabbage. The portion sizes were bigger than expected so don't be like us and order too much. Their dishes are definitely meant to be shared.
Overall, I loved the ambiance and service was great. Our dishes came out fairly quick and the servers were good with clearing out finished dishes and switching out the silverware. Would definitely come back next time I'm in San Diego.
