You have people of every race, gender, creed, etc just trying to belt their lungs out on the stage. It's where everyone can be the weirdest version of themselves and no one cares. I do miss the days when rapper Johnny and the guy that brought his own bongos would be out, but I'm sure there will be a new generation of those folks soon. The bartenders are mostly ok but the drinks are kind of inconsistent (a friend and I ordered the same drink and they were totally different). They do check id but it's annoying because I'm clearly a much older demographic lol. They don't serve food (I know they did at one point in time, but idk why they don't anymore).

Based on yelp reviews, we chose this for our date night! This place had very cozy, candle light…read moredinner atmosphere. We did not reserve so it was just walk in, but luckily got seated. I would suggest reservation. Service was excellent, our attendant made us feel comfortable. Food was excellent! Truffle fries : Generally we have never finished fries. These fries are so good that we didn't realized how quickly we devoured them :). Spicy seafood pasta : This dish is creamy heaven! Amazing quantity, lots of creamy sauce. There were plenty clams and few shrimps. If you're in mood to indulge, definitely go for this. Spice comes from red paper flakes which doesn't overpower original dish, perfect ! Beet salad: I decided to order this based on other reviews and I'm glad I did ! One of the best beet salad, perfect for summers. Very refreshing! Skewers: They are perfectly grilled chicken skewer with some glaze on it. I found the glaze too sweet but my husband loved. I had spice nice cocktail, which was ok, I would try something else next time! Overall amazing place, Highly recommended !

Wagyu sliders - $5 each. The pattie was a good size, and it was super juicy with some melted cheese on top. The buns were perfectly toasted and this was honestly my fav item we ordered 2. Fried calamari - if you enjoy bigger calamari rings with thin crispy breading, this place does it well! Comes with 1 red sauce and their green tangy aioli. The portions were pretty good on this dish as well 3. Mac and cheese truffle bites - these were huge! I was expecting them to be as small as top golf's balls are haha but it comes with 3 huge balls. The pasta noodle itself was cooked to perfection, al dente and not super mushy. I was pleasantly impressed with this one and it came with the same green aioli sauce 4. Tomahawk steak - $7 each, honestly this is a confusing one. I was expecting steak bites similar to how a regular carne asada taco is, but it came in one huge chunk of meat, which wasn't even the best quality or cooked well. This is a skip For drinks we got the mango deck drink and the presentation was super fun! They lit it on fire and the chamoy stick was soft and easy to eat. Drink itself tasted sweet and easy to down in 1 big gulp! Overall the happy hour items offer lots of variety and our server was great!

Solid 3 stars. This…read moreplace seems to believe one employee can simultaneously bartend, take food orders, clean tables, and start a dramatic fire. The drinks were expensive, but that's hardly shocking. It's Santana Row, where apparently every cocktail comes with a small surcharge for the privilege of being seen holding it. The seating situation was particularly frustrating. There were plenty of open seats, yet somehow one person managed to occupy an entire table meant for our party of six while staff looked on as if this was an unsolvable diplomatic crisis. We spent more time watching empty chairs than enjoying our drinks. Not terrible, not great. Just an exercise in patience with a side of overpriced cocktails.

They had hyped it up quite a bit, so I came in with high expectations--and it lived up to them. We went on a Friday night and didn't even have to pay a cover, which was a great surprise. The inside had beautiful Japanese-inspired decor that gave the place a unique atmosphere, and even with how busy it was, everything felt well-maintained. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus. The staff were incredibly attentive and worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of, even though the bar was absolutely packed. The DJ was amazing that night too! My friends and I spent most of our time on the dance floor because the music was so good. Overall, the energy, service, and atmosphere made for such a fun night out.
