Make a reservation if you know this is your destination. They have some spot on Tiki decor and the staff here is really friendly, happy to share their favorite drinks, or make suggestions based on your likes. If fruity drinks are not your jam... what are you doing in a Tiki Bar!! No really, they have great options for on the rocks or straight as well as ordering your favorite cocktail or beer. They have a ton of options, all sorts of alcohol bases depending on what your vice is, they also have non-alcoholic drinks for those so inclined. Hard to pass on a Mai Tai or a Zombie to start your evening off. lately I have been enjoying the Eastern Sour which is their take on a whiskey sour. It's always fun when someone orders a bowl and the room shakes and the lights flash with thunder and lightning adding a bit of excitement for first timers. Just to recap: Don't get mad if you have to wait and did not make a reservation. While they have lots of options, most drinks and all specialties are Tiki Drinks. Tiki drinks can be strong, mind yourself. If a place like this is not your vibe, that is fine, head back into Craft & Commerce, make room for others who are waiting to get in, just have fun!

My brother found this place several years ago on his visits to SD. It's now become a regular spot…read morewhenever we are in town. Most recently we were there for an event and as always, they were nothing short of exceptional! The drinks are always fantastic but what really elevates this place is the staff. They always have the best attitude, they are so accommodating, and you can tell they want you to enjoy your experience in every way. During our most recent visit, Lamar really went above and beyond to ensure our group was able to all be together for an event. I'm so very grateful for his assistance and wanted to say thank you again for everything! This place is an absolute must each time we visit, and I would highly recommend adding it to your list to try!

From the spooky, dark, skulls old school ambiance and decor, to the experience of not ordering from a menu, everything about it made it feel unique and curated making it feel like a true individualized experience. As mentioned, there are no menus. We sat at the bar, the bartender makes casual conversation with you regarding the types of drinks you enjoy. He curated something for both my husband and I based on what we shared we enjoyed. The drinks were delicious. The entry was very cool! It felt as if you were entering a hidden spot - which you do. When you enter the restaurant, you let the hostess know you're there for the Noble Experience. She let us know to head to the wall with the kegs (which is actually a door). You enter and there's a small waiting area where you're greeted by another hostess. This place is a 20/10. We can't wait to return on our next visit to SD.

It's a classic- Bonded Bourbon, Aromatic Bitters, Sugar, Citrus Zest. Very smooth!

No doubt we'll be back soon and I'll post some pics of some their signature cocktails. Till then, cheers my friends!

It's hard to not feel like a pain in the a$$ when you live with food allergies, and they were extremely helpful and patient to answer my questions and offer alternatives.

We were there celebrating my friend's birthday, so we were really excited to have a fun night, but the service was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. The staff came across as rude and inattentive, and it honestly felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there. For a birthday dinner, that really put a damper on the entire night. It's frustrating because the food was actually good and the restaurant has so much potential. If the service matched the quality of the food and atmosphere, this could easily have been a five-star experience. Unfortunately, the way we were treated overshadowed everything else. I really wanted to love this place, especially for a special occasion, but based on our experience, I wouldn't rush back. Hopefully the service improves because the restaurant itself has a lot going for it.

Parking is a nightmare good luck finding parking within a mile of the restaurant. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, service Cons: food wasn't great for the price, restaurant was small and crowded, no parking Service: All of our servers were friendly and very accommodating. Gave us some knowledge on the menu and recommended cocktails based on our preference. I had spilled my drink and they were quick to make me another one. Food: I had intended to get the prime ribeye cap steak but they ran out for the night around 8pm. I shared the steak sampler which came with four different cuts of steak and 4 sauces. I ordered medium and it was cooked medium/medium rare which was fine with me, it also had a good sear, almost burnt though. Out of the four steaks, we only liked two based off flavor and tenderness. The other two were more tough and gamey. None of the sauces really stood out but the bordelaise and horseradish were good. For our sides we got fries, roasted broccoli, and the grilled wedge salad. Fries were average. The roasted broccoli had really good flavor, I expected the broccoli to be al dente but it was cooked to mush and drenched in sauce. The grilled wedge salad was decent, there was a slightly bitter taste to it. I know it says grilled wedge but the experience of biting into the salad and it being both hot and cold was not pleasant. Cocktails: I tried the Honey Ryder and New Wave. These were recommended as the more fruity/sweet cocktails. You can definitely taste the alcohol but it's only 2oz so it's not too strong. Ambience: 10/10 I got seated downstairs by the bar. Only thing about downstairs is that it's too dark to take photos unless you use flash. Overall, I agree with the other reviews saying to go just for drinks and appetizers. I would go again just to sit upstairs and get drinks and take pictures. We left unsatisfied and ended up getting in-n-out after.

Came here as our celebratory dinner before college starts and it did not disappoint!…read more Beautiful classic old school steakhouse interior with classic booths, dark lighting and stunning decor! We were seated quickly and our service was impeccable all evening! Began with some cocktails and their bread and butter service which was perhaps the best anywhere! Warm, soft Parker house roll that was simply perfect, served with garlic butter. For appetizers we had the best crudo we have ever had! It was absolutely perfect with the freshest fish and perfect dressing, we also enjoyed the Uni spaghetti which I loved and I am not the biggest pasta fan and the farmers market fruit salad. I don't eat meat which was fine as they had a pretty spectacular sea bass topped with caviar and served with mint and peas. My husband and daughter enjoyed their steaks with sides of broccolini and a caviar topped hash brown! Though I love dessert, we were simply too full to move. We walked off our dinner having had a spectacular meal! This, so far, is my best meal of 2026!!

This time we were celebrating our anniversary and were able to plan ahead and make a reservation. The ambience is upscale darker and very clean. The lady at the podium was very friendly and checked us in. Once checked in, we were suggested to wait at the bar which we pleasantly did. We didn't have to wait long before we got sat. I will say that their cocktails are amazing and we decided to go with cocktails for the night. Every single cocktail we tried, we loved. They also have a wide variety of brands on different liquors. My boyfriend likes bread, so we decided to order their bread and I love steak tartar so we ordered that as appetisers. We like to start with a salad so we decided to share a Caesar salad specially after we saw them preparing it to the table next to us. The Caesar salad is definitely a must and it was our favourite. I had never had a Caesar salad that actually used anchovies and I loved it. The steak tartar was good, but not the best I've had. I did like that it included the yolk on the top and the chips were good and it had a good flavour but it just seemed a little too salty for me. We had a ribeye steak to share that was perfectly cooked medium rare and the butter was delicious for the sides. We had the truffle fries and we had the onions on red wine. The onions were my favourite part of the sides. I could not leave without the dessert and we decided to go with a banana foster. They do a table side show that was amazing and it was a delicious dessert. Service throughout the night was great. Overall, I will say that I will be back for Drinks and if we decide to have a meal here, I would definitely get the Caesar salad the onion on red wine side and the banana foster. The steak was good, just not great I would be willing to try a different cut or protein. For the pricetag, I would've expected everything to be great, which is why four.
