"My fiancé and I were staying at Hotel Petaluma next door and decided to check this place out. Sooo glad we came in! The drinks were top notch. We ordered the Thai Cocktail (my favorite) and the mezcal drink. They definitely know what they are doing here! Everything was super well-balanced and you can tell they put a lot of thought into crafting their cocktails. We also ordered The Plateau. If you’re on the fence about it- just get it!! It’s a great sampling of all the different seafood they have. It was all excellent! Wade was our server and was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back here again if we’re in the area :)"
