The drinks were solid but the food meh

I don't do seafood or any variety of it - so I ordered fried tofu (tofu no hana) 🥴 I didn't know what to expect but it was NOT it & my stomach isn't feeling it either

I also ordered a vegetarian sushi roll - never came. They accidentally gave it to another table & then refused to make it for me again bc it was'too late' meanwhile it was 11:20 PM & last call for food was 11:30 sooo??

ALSO not my fault yall gave it to someone else & it took the bartender 25+ minutes to realize I never got it. 😒

The vibe? Great. The music? 10/10. The food? Eh.

Food is delicious, we sat at the bar & our bartender Simon was awesome, drinks were great as well. It felt like we were on vacation. Wouldn't recommend large group reservations, as the restaurant is tiny & intimate.

Absolutely amazing experience here! The vibes are insanely cool & the drinks are expertly crafted. Simon was an amazingly attentive bartender & so sweet! Gave me extra olives when I finished my dirty martini without me even asking! Would come here 10/10 times for a girls night or a date!

Had such a great experience here, love the interior really feels like you've travelled somewhere else. Great appetizers, good music & an exceptionally knowledgeable bartender Nish, who was incredibly charismatic, courteous, & creative with cocktail recommendations that were tailored to our liking. 10/10 recommend for a cute girls night out, see you again soon!

I made a reservation at Mon? Loa months in advance to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, & unfortunately the experience did not live up to expectations.

When we arrived, things felt disorganized right away. We were asked to follow another group downstairs, then brought back upstairs & seated there instead of the lower-level area we were hoping for. We were also left standing at the entrance while the other group was seated first.

Our initial table wasn't great, & after politely asking to move-especially since I had been notified our table was ready an hour before-we were relocated to a table right next to the bathroom & kitchen. Not ideal for a special occasion.

Service was inconsistent throughout the night. A nearby table remained dirty for about 30 minutes, & we were missing basic items like silverware. Small details like this made a big difference in the overall experience.

The Mai Tai was excellent, & the bartender clearly knows what they're doing. However, after the first round, the drink sizes noticeably decreased. The menu was also limited, with several items unavailable, including oysters & desserts.

The biggest issue was the food. Portions were small & not filling at all. We spent over $300 & still left hungry, which is hard to justify.

What stood out the most-in a negative way-was how the birthday was handled. While they acknowledged it verbally, the effort felt minimal. My girlfriend received a very simple dessert, while another guest got a more celebratory presentation with a candle, which felt inconsistent & disappointing.

The space itself is beautiful & clearly designed for aesthetics, but the service, food quality, & overall experience didn't match the price point. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend it for special occasions.

Just had the most amazing experience! Meagan the bartender upstairs was knowledgeable, fun & attentive. All the staff were welcoming & the vibe was incredible. The cocktails were perfectly balanced & flavourful. It was my friends bday & they surprised her with the most amazing dessert. By far one of the best places I've been to. Can't wait to go back!!!
