4.3 / 5.0(967 reviews)
So tell me if these photos are false advertising or not. Their sign states 3 x $10 (3 for $10) and then lists 5 beers. Their table menu states local beer, 3 x $10 and then lists 4. It also states its crazy hours are 6am to 7pm and 9pm to 2am. When we first ordered they made us believe that they only had cream ale available, so we ordered it. It was not an ale but that’s okay it tasted fine. Two days later we arrived and were told that they had no beers only cocktails for 3 for $20. We asked had they run out of all beers and then we were told that the only beer on the offer was the cream ale and it had run out. We were told that the owner didn’t allow any other beer to be sold under the offer. Both occasions we were there between 3 and 4pm. So tell me, am I wrong or is this false advertising? What would you think was on offer? Also, all the beers cost the same on the menu, so why not all on offer. Great experience. Had the chance to go both for drinks/desserts and for breakfast. All were delicious. Fresh juice, clean, great service. Must try This place is so nice we went back a few times during our stay. We had the Galapagos Tuna Poke Bowl, the Peruvian Ceviche, and the Drunken Noodles. Pics are of the poke, the noodles, and a paloma cocktail. Great, friendly service. The bar makes proper drinks. Highly recommend giving this place a try for lunch or dinner. Lunch is way less crowded.

They should really be ashamed to call what they serve ramen. It’s an instant noodle packet which might be ok if they didn’t charge $18. The beer was pretty decent so it is 2 stars for that

Love this place. Friendly service and good food. I had the salmon toast, with a side of avocado. (Extra cost) it was very fresh and tasty! Also had the blackberry juice. Yummy.
