Asiatique

Overpriced and disappointing. Plating was a little too cute, favors didn't hold up.

I love Asiatique for their multiple happy hour options. But I'm not a huge fan of their brunch selection and food quality. They do offer a $3 Bloody Mary with jalapeno infused vodka that is pretty delicious. So in regards to booze, Asiatique is spot on. Food on the other hand can be hit or miss.

Asiatiques happy hour is awesome. It offers a Sunday through Friday happy hour of $4- $5 cocktails and wine from 5pm - 7pm with an extended all night happy hour on Thursdays from 5pm to close and their entire cocktail menu is available for these prices.

What really sets Asiatique apart from other upscale restaurants and bars is the diverse appetizer selection available on special for $5. In addition, the service has always been friendly and informative. I highly recommend coming here on a Thursday so that you can get the most of their diverse cocktail selection and splitting a bunch of apps with a group of friends.

Asiatique,

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

1. Happy hours: 5-7 pm everyday of the week at the bar and in the lounge. ALL cocktails and house glasses of wine are $4-5. ALL Appetizers are $5. With both food and drinks changing seasonally I never get tired of going back. The duck nachos have been around for a while, but it's for good reason. Get them. Don't worry about it being crowded. I've gone with larger groups several times and its always like we're having our own private party in the lounge.

2. More happy hours: check out their website, cause they've got an additional different awesome deal every day.

3. Brunch: $3 Bloody Mary plus amazing and creative food, never a wait, and a lovely patio which is also rarely crowded.

4. Huge variety of seating options: bar, downstairs lounge, outdoor patio tables, and indoor table seating.

5. I have a whole list without even having tried their main offering: dinner. Until next time...
