Drinks & Nightlife

The waterfront bar with conversation pit is very popular with locals. In-fact regular locals have their birthdays posted outside of the Restaurant. Rachel & I enjoy the Restaurant side and enjoy the view. Surprisingly reasonable pricing for location with valet parking. Note: Recently sat at a table next to Kobe Bryant. Don't be surprised to see celebrities in CDM area nightlife.
