"I've gone several time for dinner with friends to celebrate birthdays. They have great happy hour specials that change nightly, such as $3 martinis and appetizers, $1 martinis and satays, and more. We always order several small dishes and share. I've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered, and the martini cocktails are delicious too. The service is always friendly, though sometimes a little slow when busy. This hasn't been a problem for us since we don't come there to eat in a big hurry. The decor is fun and quirky (seems to be the same as it was when the place was a coffee shop), and that just adds to the nice, casual ambience. Prices are very reasonable, especially if you take advantage of the happy hour specials."

"This place is on a little alleyway with a few other restaurants. The staff was professional and friendly. We shared chicken satey and shrimp roll- both excellent. My husband had fish encrusted in mashed potatoes and I had the honey encrusted shrimp. Both were very good especially the fish dish. It's a trendy place for the young, but we felt very comfortable (we're retired)."
