    This was my First time here I wasn't all that impressed I don't get the hype An extensive menu to accommodate everyone in your family is probably the draw I got the Aji wonton nachos It wasn't cheap. I assume there would be ample Aji tuna garnish. It was a few absolute fantastic bites Followed by an entire plate of wonton chips without anything to go on top of them Basically, paying a lot of money for a lot of Air I was quite disappointed I had a sangria which I thought was quite watered down Unless friends want to go, I'll never go back.

    Just finished putting in half a day at the convention center and also arrived here today in Anaheim. Decided to stop here for a late lunch, early dinner and at this time it's really not that busy, which is nice. I was cheerfully greeted and seated immediately, and my server was outstanding. He came and took my drink order and also brought me the famous freshly baked bread, basket with butter, which I love. I decided to go with the factory meatloaf, and it was a very good selection. The potatoes were perfect. The meatloaf was very good and very flavorful and the corn was very good as well, no complaints whatsoever. The food arrived, hot and well presented, and they give you a large portion, I had to take some back to the hotel to enjoy the day after. Ambience was very casual. The inside was very clean as always.

    Disappointing experience! I spent over $26 for a salad at cheesecake factory to basically only receive a container full of lettuce and a few toppings that included cheese, beans and tortilla strips. See pictures. The salad was also supposed to include chicken and avocado. I spent 3.50 plus for extra avocado, and I don't even think the standard amount of avocado existed in the salad. The chicken was very minimal as well and poor quality. The chicken tasted like process chicken rather than slice chicken breast. Given the cost and quality of the salad I would not order this again. This order was to go. If I was in house, I would have returned the salad. Disappointing experience for the price.

    Calamari 3/5

    We went to the Cheesecake Factory recently for dinner. Our server was amazing. She was nice, friendly, and very accommodating. The menu had so many dishes to choose from, so you're bound to find something you want. I just wish they have more shrimp options. * Calamari 3/5 - I love calamari and was disappointed in these. They were very plain with no flavor. The garlic dip was good and made the calamari slightly better. I didn't like the cocktail sauce since it had horseradish and a bitter aftertaste. * Factory Nacho 3.5/5 - These were decent, though nothing exciting. * Shrimp Scampi 3/5 - This used to be my go to, but I haven't had it recently and I think they changed the recipe. The pasta and sauce were very sour. Thankfully, the shrimp had very good flavor. It was lightly breaded which made up a nice crunchy exterior. * Shrimp and Chicken Gumbo 4.5/5 - The gumbo was very flavorful. The protein amount was generous. There was meat in every bite. * Salmon (Kid version) 4/5 - This was a pretty good size salmon. It was tasty and wasn't dry either. * Coconut Limeade 5/5 - Nice soda with refreshing coconut flavor.

    Parking - They validate your parking in the Garden Walk garage, so bring your ticket with you. Happy Hour (4pm-6pm, M-F) - They have some good deals on this menu. HH is only served in the bar area. I love the avocado egg rolls, chicken pot stickers and the Thai Chili shrimp (not spicy). Avoid ordering the sliders as they aren't very flavorful. Service - Mike at the bar was great! He was friendly and checked on us regularly. Birthday cheesecake is a great perk since you can order any of their options. We enjoyed the Reece's peanut butter one.

    Much better experience this time around for happy hour. We got some great food and some food to take home for the next day too. Stuffed mushrooms are always a hit. The fries were perfect. Crab wontons were delish especially with the sauce. Fried pickles are awesome too. Service was excellent. I want them to bring back the spicy cashew chicken entree!

    Came in today to celebrate our son graduation and luckily it wasn't busy. But we did have reservations in advance which never fails lol. Ambience and service was great and of course food was delicious. Can't wait to come back for our next celebration. Thank you.!!

    Don't come to this location, the staff is a cluster you know what, from the hosts to severs to even the managers.

    It took me a couple of days to calm down to write this review. If this was my first time at a CF I would never go back. AVOID THIS LOCATION!!!! This is a busy location by Disneyland. It was a Saturday night. I have worked in the food service industry for 25 years. I know how restaurants work. I even know how CF works-I've done the research. Because of this I knew to make a reservation for 4 ppl@9 pm. I was there and checked in exactly at 9:00 I don't expect my table to be ready right away. That is fine. When I first came in the host, didn't even ask me if I had a reservation. I told her I had one and when I asked her how long it would be she told me I would have the next available table....mmm okay. They ask for your phone number and then they text you when your table is ready. And when I checked and I told her it's fine if I have to wait a few minutes, my party is still parking in the car no problem. I was totally fine waiting until the next available table to accommodate for was called. I was texted at 9:07. I was staring at the host and no one was acknowledging me and I probably stood there for about two minutes waiting for somebody to acknowledge me. I hadn't gone far. She spoke to me just a few minutes ago. And then she directed me to stand on the other side of the podium, which I did. They just let me stand there. The manager who who was a man wearing a blue checked shirt, was upfront messing around with menus or something. And I questioned why was I still standing there and I was told they were looking to see if my table was clean. If my table wasn't clean, why did you call me? I then said something like OK. I've been standing here for five minutes now and you're taking parties of six parties of two a party of 13 and I'm just standing here. The manager then proceeded to get loud with me and explained to me. They're busy. It's a Saturday night and I said I understand that I have a reservation. He's like well. We're waiting to see if your table is clean. We have a lot of large parties and I told him at this point I wasn't arguing with him. If my table wasn't ready, you should've called me and made me wait and stand for six more minutes before you bothered to seat me. When I said that the manager said he appreciates me understanding no you shouldn't be arguing with customers. A simple apology saying I'm so sorry we called you a little bit early. I'm going take you in just a minute would have been perfectly fine. We are seated at 9:13. We were not seated with menus. They had to bring those over and a server never came to our table until 9:19. When our server came I'm glad I ordered an appetizer with the drinks, because she never came back to take our order until 9:38. I couldn't remember the appetizer name when she took our drink order. I said the appetizer and she said oh yes, that is so good. I'll get that right in for you. The table next to us was also part of our server section. It was two people, and they got their dinner before I even got my appetizer. Our dinner came at 10:07. What? I asked the server where my appetizer was and she said what appetizer I said the brie appetizer and she said oh I forgot to ring it in, this is my first weekend back after maternity leave I'm four months postpartum. While I appreciate her admitting, she forgot to ring in my appetizer. I don't need a life story and a whole excuse. I have worked with many women after they've given birth and if you're not capable of doing your job, then you need to let your manager know that you need a smaller section. And if this is your smaller section and you still can't handle it, she should not be scheduled on weekends. The average time for a cheesecake factory experience with a reservation is between an hour and an hour and a half. We didn't even get our food until we've been there for well after an hour. We almost had been seated for a full hour. I'd also like to point out this was my birthday celebration and it was known.Our food for cheesecake factory standards was really mediocre. My fettuccine Alfredo was very watery. Korean fried chicken, dry, other meals fine. Because of the inconvenience, the server came over and mentioned I would get a free cake-a free cake which she said it 2x. I thought that was very odd. After she left the table, my SIL and my nephews who both also heard the same thing that I heard were questioning me was she giving me a whole cake and I said I don't think so. I think she meant a slice. Are we blaming that on postpartum too? It seems like the staff here doesn't want to apologize for mistakes. They want to make excuses. I thought for being part of the birthday cheesecake club or whatever you got a free piece of cake anyway so I got a free slice of cake so nothing was really done for me. They didn't make it right. There are cheesecake factories all over go to your local one. And the parking sucks!!!!! We were able to finally leave at 10:51.

    Ordered takeout so cannot comment on service or ambience. Grilled steak medallion with potatoes and mushrooms from the skinnylicious meal was great! Recommend.

    Peruvian Chicken
    Grace Nicole C.

    Came here after a day of downtown Disney and they were able to sit us within 15 minutes which was very nice, as all of the other restaurants around a tremendously long wait. It did take a bit of time to get our food out, but they were busy so we understand. I ordered their Peruvian chicken bowl and it was very good. The right was only OK but the chicken definitely had some flavor to it and so that the sauce that came with it. It is a great portion for the price! This is definitely the place to go to if you want something reliable .

    Avocado Eggrolls
    Breanna L.

    Updating my experience with The Cheesecake Factory because this order was so good. We tried the grilled chicken & avocado club for the 1st time & it was phenomenal. It had a generous amount of chicken & the combination of melted cheese, bacon, avocado, tomato & a creamy ranch style sauce made it so flavorful. It was big enough for me & my husband to share & we still felt very full. The avocado egg rolls are still a staple for us! They never disappoint & the tamarind cashew sauce is honestly the best part. I just wish there was an easier way to add an extra small side of it for delivery. For our toddler we got the kids cheese pizza & she loved it. It has a really rich & cheesy flavor & is now one of her favorites. I also ordered the Oreo cheesecake which is my #1 fave! It has the perfect balance of chocolate, creaminess & Oreo flavor with the crust & topping. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the side salad. I'd probably go with fries next time instead. Overall, everything was fresh, flavorful & consistent. This is one of those places we keep coming back to because it always hits.

    This was my first time trying the weekend brunch at Cheesecake Factory and it was super good! The French toast was SO fluffy and there were some other really fun menu items that are only offered for brunch that were fun to splurge on. I like that this location is close to the disney parks and that there's an hour of free parking in the lot here, it makes trying to eat in the area around the parks really easy! The vibe inside is like most cheesecakes out there but for some reason it feels slightly narrower. But the decor and ambiance is the typical aesthetic and I always love looking through their giant menu, I'm actually really impressed the cooks can make so many versatile items and they're all good! I'm grateful Cheesecake Factory hasn't slimmed down its menu in the recent years because all the versatility is what I love about this restaurant so much. Oh, we were also able to make a reservation here which I looove. I always prefer reservations and just knowing what time you're guaranteed to eat at means a lot to me and my family. I believe this is how every Cheesecake Factory works which makes it a great spot to reserve for birthdays and big get togethers. Also, I'm not sure why or how but the Diet Coke at Cheesecake Factory is always SO good haha, makes it worth coming just for this reason!

    Awesome welcoming friendly service. Placed an order for pick up. Easy ordering process and was ready promptly with order accuracy. Head to the cheesecake counter and let them know the name for the order. Utensils or napkins are provided upon request. All packaged neatly. Located on south end corner of garden walk right next to PF changs. Front Entrance is off Katella. Parking at the garden walk is a covered garage connected to the walkway leading to shops and eateries. Bring ticket with you to validate. Remember to pay at a pay station before you exit.

    Ask the Community - The Cheesecake Factory

    Can I make a reservation for today?

    They allow reservations if you are part of the loyalty club.

    Does it have a private room or space for a party of 10-15?

    No prívate rooms.... But if you can maybe call and see if they can accommodate. There is space for it, but not sure what the holidays and this spot is really busy usually....

    Hi, do you offer vegan dishes? If so, what are they?

    It's been a few months since I've been, so not 100% on what they have on offer now. The last meal I had there had the description of being "8oz grass fed" and it was delicious. Would recommend.

    Did you receive my confirmation?

    I'm sorry, I think you're trying to get ahold of the restaurant not me.

    Is there valet parking?

    No unfortunately, but it's not that busy. Park in the parking structure n have it validated at the restaurant before you leave

    Where do you park to go to this restaurant?

    Anaheim Gardenwalk provides your first hour free and the restaurant can validate your parking ticket for an extra two free hours!

    Can we bring a bottle of wine?

    Yes, but there is a $10 corkage fee.

    Are they open on Labor Day? And are they taking reservations?

    Yes, but no reservations.

    On a Saturday in February or March, when is a good time to go for lunch or a late lunch?

    It honestly just depends. Sometimes it could be really busy or really slow. I always recommend calling around the time that you want to go eat to get an estimated wait time. :)

    What is the maximum people for a party to make a reservation? And how long before do I need to make one?

    They only take reservations for week days before 12 PM but they are a large location so you should be able to fit any reasonable amount of people.

    Do they take reservations for big parties on weekends? For 20ppl?

    I've never been able to. That being said, I usually get there before the rush. I know they give estimated wait times when you arrive. I would call the restaurant directly to find out.

We had a Friday Night Reservation, but arrived an hour early and they did a great job getting us a table.. The Staff from when we walked in the door were "Super Friendly" and that was cool.. We ordered an ice tea and a peach whisky drink.. The whisky drink was actually quite tasty.. For Dinner we had The Hanger Steak Dinner Special ($50) Which was a hanger steak with chimichurri, asparagus, garlic risotto. We also ordered the Barbecue Glazed Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, Roasted Vegetables, Mashed Potatoes, and a Cheese Toast.. ($25) When they both arrived one plate hat more food for half the price.. The hanger steak was cooked to order (medium rare) and was tender. However it was very underwhelming in flavor even with the chimichurri on it. Especially for it being $50.. The risotto was the best thing on the plate as it was packed with flavor. That shouldn't have been the star on the plate. I tasted the meatloaf and it was so much better.. The meatloaf was awesome and the sides were great all together.. I was so jealous, as I am a huge steak person and was more impressed with the meatloaf.. The server was awesome and very attentive. We stayed at the hotel behind the restaurant and thought this place would be good since it was close by.. I am not sure when we stay in the area again if we will be back..

    September is SepTiki month at the Blind Rabbit. The interior has been decorated tiki style, and…read morethere is a new specialty cocktail menu with eight new tiki inspired drinks. We visited a few times in recent weeks to try out some of the new drinks. El Quetzal (Illegal Caribbean cask mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Campari, lime, pineapple, cane, cardamom). This is a variation of a Junglebird, and has a nice smokiness with light bitterness. It's an easy drinker, and is served in a tiki mug with a lit sugar cube. 3 Rabbits & a Dash (Blind Rabbit Garrison Brothers single barrel bourbon, Kuleana Nanea rum, falernum, allspice, honey, orange, lime). It drinks a little boozy from the bourbon, and is complemented by nice spice notes. Let the Man'Go (Patron 100 tequila, bitter Bianca, mango, rice, lemon). I love drinks with a foam top, and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it was obvious after one sip that the foam was infused with toasted rice. Good balanced cocktail with light mango flavor and rice notes. Velvet Samba (guava, cachaca, Patron 100 tequila, lime, condensed milk). Unique milky looking cocktail. It's guava and lime forward, balanced, and has a little creamy mouthfeel from the condensed milk. Clarified Ango-Lada (Blind Rabbit single barrel Sagamore rye, Angostura bitters, coconut, pineapple, lime). It's served with a nutmeg sprinkle on top. The rye is toned way down from clarification, and it's a smooth drinker. The Cocktail of Week I believe was a type of zombie. I forgot to write down the ingredients but I believe some of them were rum, vodka, raspberry, and lemon. It is served in their zombie mug with a lit cinnamon stick and was good. Dreamwave (Empress gin, barrel aged Curacao, sherry lychee, lemon). I think this was my favorite. It has a nice tart flavor, not boozy at all and balanced. I was sitting at the bar where my drink was being made, and when the Li Hing Hui powder was sprinkled on top, it had a really nice sweet, almost vanilla-ish aroma. I asked bartender Adrian to make me a Captain's Reserve (bartenders own creation) using rum as the main spirit. He made an amazing cocktail with rum, scotch, passion fruit, and some other ingredients I forgot to jot down. It was lush and perfectly balanced with multiple layers of flavor. I hope he remembers that recipe, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Adrian, Ruben, and Sergio all provided great service and conversation, and they make some excellent drinks. Hosts Anna and Emma always give a warm welcome and were very friendly. There's only a few weeks left of SepTiki, so visit soon if you're interested in these drinks. Their Halloween theme will be starting in early October.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

    Story! I decided to…read morego with Story for my wife's and I 1 year anniversary of marriage. My wife is a book worm and seeing how this restaurant is a nice blend of romantic but also fun with the books around the restaurant, the chairs and table to even the glassware my wife even complimented how much she loved the water glasses. We had a reservation at 730 on a Sunday, originally had one at 6pm, but we had to drive to Dana Point to pick up our anniversary cake, it was a smooth reservation change. Also during my reservation, I did call to make sure if they were okay with storing our cake and serving it out to us at the end of dinner, which they happily said yes to. The theme currently is the Great Gatsby, I can see this a fun day or night out for a group of friends. Staff was very friendly! Here is what we ordered: Saw they offered a Japanese Whiskey flight, had to order that! Even if I have tried them before, you can never say no to whiskey. Small little taste of Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Coffey Malt, Suntory Tokiese and best for last Hibiki Harmony Chicken Pesto Oven Fried Pizza $20 - Pistachio Pesto, chopped grilled chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes arugula and balsamic glaze | I usually don't care for pesto, but if its pistachio or macadamia I do like that way better. Let me begin with, I had trouble thinking where do I put this, is it a pizza or is it a flat bread? It didn't rise to have its iconic crust on a pizza, so I have been labeling this as a flat bread and because of that I can easily say the best flat bread pizza I have had to date. The dough was baked perfectly, had a nice crunch but also pillowhheee chew. The ingredients on the flat bread, all were fresh, seasoned but most importantly delicious and blended well. At first bite you are able to taste each ingredient as you continue chewing the balsamic comes into play and brings each flavor together. Seriously as mentioned the best I have had so far, I really want one right now just talking about it! Yuzu Lobster Pasta $38 - Butter Poached lobster, cherry tomatoes, yuzu, black garlic butter, jalapeno, basil topped with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese | I told my wife this was most talked about in a lot of reviews, so she went with this. There was a good amount of Lobster pieces, but sadly the yuzu or any kind of citrus was not there. At this time while we were eating our main dishes, sadly we didn't see our server pretty much the whole time. It would have been nice to be able to ask her for either more yuzu or even lemon on the side. Any kind of pasta dish with seafood needs to have that citrus punch. Coming in at the most expensive dish we ordered, it was sadly placed last amongst the three dishes. Braised Short Rib $34 - Red Wine Braised Short Rib, topped with crispy fried onion strings, demi-glace, pomme puree and seasonal vegetables. This was really good, short rib cooked and seasons perfectly, those crispy fried onions, complimented the meat and its flavors perfectly, and also gave it a nice crunch texture. As mentioned before the ingredients all were fresh, I ended up cleaning my plate! As mentioned about during our mains we didn't see our server during that time, she finally showed up when we were all finished, so she ended up coming back with our wedding cake and a candle. She did apologize that she was having a deep and lengthy conversation with another table. We ended up asking if she was allowed to take a piece of our cake which we were glad to share it with her, and she loved it as she does like tiramisu. In conclusion, I will def be back to get that flat bread pizza and try different foods on their menu. The pricing is pretty fair! I do want to try to get to a brunch time here as well as I do see a lot of Filipino inspired brunch items. Very good food, atmosphere, perfect for a date night! Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

The service was nice and friendly. * Short Rib Benny 5/5 - This was very tasty. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The short rib was good. I got the hollandaise sauce on the side since it can be hit and miss at other places. It was really tasty here. The breakfast potatoes were not bad. * Coconut Ube Pancake - My friends got these and they were okay. Kinda dry. Not sure if the waffle version would have tasted better. * Strawberry Thai Basil Mimosa 3/5 - This was the sweetest mimosa under Specialty Mimosas and it tasted pretty average and wasn't very sweet either.

Michael patiently helped us, even offering us samples of different sides so we could decide what to order. He was attentive to our table the entire time, bringing us sauces, napkins, and boxes to take our food home. His service was truly 10/10. I would definitely come back!

    Soul food done right a new favorite! We made a trip…read morespecifically to try this spot, and it was a total winner from start to finish. It's clear why they've been a local staple for 11 years this is the original location, and you can really taste the legacy in every dish. We learned that the menu features the favorite recipes of the owner's husband (you'll see his photo on the wall!), and there's a real sense of heart put into the cooking. Everything we ordered was served piping hot and clearly made-to-order. The Menu Highlights: Starters: The fried pickles are a must-order huge, crispy, and battered to perfection. The cornbread muffins with honey butter are a great comfort touch. Mains: My husband went for the smothered pork chop meal with black-eyed peas, which were deeply flavorful and 'soulful' in the best way. My son loved the generous portion of chicken tenders, and my hot wings were a standout the mild sauce is honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. The Surprise Star: I'm still thinking about the garlic fries. They were unapologetically, perfectly garlicky. The Experience: Beyond the food, the service here is top-tier. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, from the person who took our order to our server, who shared the history of the restaurant with us. The space is surprisingly roomy with both comfortable indoor and outdoor options. We'll definitely be back!

    Strong Water isn't just a place to grab a drink, it is an entire experience from the moment you…read morewalk through the door. We were escorted inside and our hostess immediately started introducing us to the lore of the place: a capsized ship with the space decorated using pieces recovered from the wreckage. The room is VERY dimly lit, and we actually stood near the entrance for a moment while our eyes adjusted, but honestly that just added to the atmosphere. On the way to our reservation in the Captain's Quarters, our hostess gave us a little tour of the main room and even pointed out the bathrooms for later. Once we sat down, we met our bartender, Drew, who was fantastic. He walked us through the different menus, explained the food and cocktails, and really added to the experience throughout the night. I'm normally a whiskey drinker, so I started with the Southeast Spice Trade while my girlfriend ordered the Pineapple Whipped Colada. Both were delicious, but half the fun was watching Drew make them. You could really see the amount of care that went into the craft and presentation of every drink. For food, we ordered the chicken katsu and ahi poke nachos. I was especially excited when the nachos arrived and I realized they were made with wonton chips. I'm a sucker for wonton chips, so those were an immediate win. We obviously couldn't stop at one round of drinks, so next came the Tarobi Colada and Zombie King. Drew told us a little about the history of the Zombie King and gave us a lesson on rum, so I had to try it, plus it came in one of the coolest mugs I've ever seen. The Zombie King was easily my favorite drink of the night. The flavor was fantastic from beginning to end and dangerously smooth. I didn't even realize how much it had hit me until I stood up. Even leaving was part of the experience. We finally checked out the bathroom and the door has what feels like TEN different locks on it. It genuinely felt like I was locking myself inside the bathroom of an old pirate ship. Between the storytelling, incredible atmosphere, Captain's Quarters, food, cocktails, and especially the service from Drew, this was such a memorable night. Strong Water completely commits to its theme without sacrificing the quality of the drinks. Absolutely an experience worth having, and we can't wait to come back.

    We have returned to Strong Water several times in recent months, so it's time for an update. We…read morefirst returned in early June since they introduced some new cocktails and food to the menu. The other visits were just because this is by far our number one place. Recently added cocktails: Buzzin' Jungle Bird (Jamaican gold rum, coffee infused campari, dark rum, pineapple, lime, hemp orgeat, cane, Angostura bitters). This is a great spin on a jungle bird, with some complexity and coffee flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of coffee, but it is at a good level. Chi Chi (Whey vodka, pineapple, lime, date, honey, coconut, salt). This has a great creamy texture which I believe comes from the dairy component of the whey vodka. It is well balanced with some sweetness, and I could taste the coconut and date flavors. Lapu Lapu (Asian rum, Jamaican rum, dry curacao, lime, orgeat, demerara). It is juicy, well balanced, and served with a flaming sugar cube on top. This is the cocktail they chose to serve at their booth at Tiki Oasis recently which says a lot, try it! Thai Me Down (Barbados rum, coconut liqueur, papaya, lemon, demerara, Thai basil). It is served old-fashioned style, and was light and perfectly balanced. Those Thai inspired flavors were all noticeable. Demerara Dry Float. They added and took this one off the menu as of now. It was a balanced light citrusy drink which was served with a delicious sidecar of Hamilton 151 rum infused with banana chips. I sipped half of that and mixed the rest into the cocktail. It was served with a beautiful ice shell. I'm guessing it was too labor intensive, and took up a lot of space in their freezers. Recently added food: Ahi Poke Nachos (marinated ahi tuna, masago, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, furikake, green onion). This is such a tasty starter with so many textures and flavors. I love that the nachos are wontons too, and not just chips. Crab & Cream cheese wontons. Nice crisp wontons with a good amount of crab and cream cheese inside. The chili sauce and spicy mayo adds another layer of flavor, and there is a slice of jalapeno on top for a little heat. Pan-Seared Scallops. This was an excellent lighter entrée. The four scallops are cooked perfectly, and even have a little dollop of caviar on top. I liked the mix of veggies and really liked the bed of potato puree underneath. Steak & Eggs (8oz hanger steak, crying tiger glaze, Nam Jim Jaew sauce, sunny eggs, rice). I normally wouldn't try steak & eggs for dinner, but I can't resist a good hanger steak. It was cooked a perfect medium rare and I appreciate that it was pre-sliced. The crying tiger glaze and sauce were so flavorful. There's plenty of rice to soak up any left egg yolk or sauce. Recently added desserts: Dubai Chocolate Lava Cake. This was excellent, but it's definitely sweet and rich. Save some room if you plan on ordering this. Ube Flan Cake. I'm usually not a fan of flan, but I have to try anything with ube and this was good. The cake had nice ube flavor, and I liked that the flan was a little firm since the looser custardy/gelatinous texture is not for me. This is definitely a lighter dessert than the lava cake. It's not a new drink, but I also had the Naval Grog for the first time. (Lost Voyage rum, overproof white rum, allspice dram, lime, grapefruit, demerara, honey). It is boozy with nice spice notes. Other repeat cocktails enjoyed were Tales from the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Missionary's Downfall, Agave Parrot, Singapore Sling, and Serpents Grasp all of which are excellent. Their cocktails, food, ambiance, and service are always top notch. Thank you Ying, Erica, Greg, Jordan, Joey, Iris, Karen, Kyle, Joy, and John for your wonderful hospitality during our visits. We will return again soon!
