Best Restaurants for Birthdays in University City/Golden Triangle

Everything about this meal exceeded expectations. Excellent and creative menu and super professional service. A great night out.

Very amazing views and unique food. I have been waiting to try Marine room for special date night. It was amazing and did not disappoint!

Our server today was kinda off push and rush us to order. I didn’t know because it was Christmas Eve and people were waiting for a table or just she wanted to get the job done . The margarita I ordered today was not much alcohol in it, even I ordered a second one with double shot, still pretty light. Other than that, the food was good like always. 

Our family of 5 were there for Christmas Eve dinner. We had reservations at 5:15 pm and were seated promptly. The service was very nice and took our drink orders and appetizer orders right away. We've been here many times before and had always enjoyed the ahi taco and calamari. This time I also had a Caesar salad which was good. The bar ran out of Bombay so could not have my usual Bombay tonic but substituted Tanqueray which was fine. The entrees included the Duke's fish, steamed fish and shrimp in the banana leaves, a filet medium rare and the seafood hot pot. And of course, you can't finish a meal without Hula pie. Our only wish for Christmas: have Prime Rib like they have at Duke's Huntington Beach. Otherwise, the experience was enjoyable and we shall be back.

Our server was very attentive as well as the rest of the staff. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Their recommendations were great! Easy parking and no crowds.
