Olive?
by jjlasne
I am not sure what this place is supposed to be. A bar? A lounge? A restaurant? But it sure is the only gringo place in a decidedly South East Asian neighborhood (aka Little Saigon).

- Pros: Food
- Cons: No parking but hey! This is what taxis are for.

Great vibe, fun music and excellent mojitos!
by smithy11
My friend and I went here after work and it's a perfect Happy Hour place with great music and a good looking crowd. The bartenders are knowledgable, friendly and they pour a great mojito! I would definitly go again. Didn't try the food but it looked pretty tasty so I will the next Thursday night out!
- Pros: Great Mojitos and Fun atmosphere!

Oishii pizza
by mochikof
Oh, I love the thin-crust pizza here! Try the mushroom and truffle oil pizza. And of course the Martini's with stuffed goat-cheese olives. Chill music in the background, nice booths. I had a crush on one of the bartenders for a while while i was single. I'm over that! But I still go there.
- Pros: happy hour, near great american musichall
- Cons: it's still the tenderloin
