I want you to get it – to understand – too. On any given night, dinner with a couple of drinks can easily run you $60 per person. So when the weekday Rocktail Hour rolls around, and instead of $60, I’m averaging $24 – for the same award-winning dishes, the same invigorating drinks and the same gorgeous setting – do you see why this place, no pun intended, truly rocks? Prices are slashed significantly. Rocktails are no longer $12; they’re now $6. And most appetizers, which normally average around $12, are now a shocking $3.
A trip here is worth every single quarter, nickel and dime you’ll spend. The selection of regional dishes from Thailand, Japan, China and India are brought exquisitely displayed to the table, and taste just as tantalizing as they appear. Secondly, the Rocktails (i.e., cocktails) are killer. Case closed. Revitalizing, rejuvenating, generous with the flavor and alcohol. And finally, the space is visually captivating. From the moment you step through the majestic wooden doors to emerge into the front patio areas, it’s as though the congested L.A. jungle has vanished, replaced by a serene oasis.
Next time you're in need for a Rocktail, you know where to turn!
