   Amadeus and the front counter team took great care of us. This is certainly a “hidden” gem in San Diego and a great place for a few drinks with friends. Especially if you don’t want to run into anyone.

   Unique drinks, great food, service and vibes! As they grow, I hope they keep their staple drinks — the clarified ube drink being one of them!

   Cocktails 5 stars; food 3 stars, reservation process and attempting to change it 1 star. Ambiance was great, but the music was waaayyy too loud, even for my subpar hearing. The scallops were well cooked and seasoned, but tasted a little fishy. The chicken karaage had great flavors, but not crunchy. Truffle fries were good, could've used a little more salt. Crispy spicy tuna with caviar, just yes! The yam master flash had viscosity and I could taste the yam when I closed my eyes and focused on the sip. The sesame in the old fashioned was notable. I liked the perfect sake martini, but was a bit too floral for hubby. My favorite was the Negroni where I could taste the coffee liquor and chocolate bitters, and comes with a piece of chocolate. My recommendation is to try the Negroni, then take a bite of the chocolate, chew a little but not completely, take another sip of the Negroni. Definitely an experience! Lucky goat has has goat cheese gin and I could actually taste goat cheese in a good way . Now to the reservation part. Made reservations on open table, it said I could change it up to 24 hours ahead. Tried to change the time over 72 hours ahead, but was told I couldn't. Open table was no help and the bar never responded to my messages. Worst part was they had my credit card and would charge me if I didn't show. So be cautious on that.

   Excellent service, drinks, food and some of the best pricing for craft cocktails in Downtown!

   Love the interior design. It’s simply beautiful. We ordered a scallops and spicy tuna from the menu. Both were decent but unremarkable. We are cocktail people and on this point, Bar Kamon disappoints. It was our second time. The drinks are interesting in concept but boring in execution. We thought our first time was a fluke and gave it a second chance. It wasn’t a fluke. Just uninspired, unbalanced cocktails.

   Delicious drinks and tasty food. We tried the Umeboshi Sour, Midnight Train to Shinjuku, Trash Panda and Hojichi Negroni. Our favorites were umeboshi Sour and Trash Panda.

   They were super accommodating to our party even though we arrived a little late due to extremely heavy traffic. We were quickly seated and the service and was spectacular. There was no wow factor or surprises but ambience is very nice and although very small the noise level was never too loud. The cocktails were great I enjoyed all the ones I had and so did my friends. The food though was pretty average in presentation and taste. The menu definitely has a good variety. Overall I enjoyed our time and would recommend. Will be back when I’m in SD.

   Drinks are always on point. Scallops were amazing as well. Highly recommend when visiting down town.

    Quality Japanese whiskey. Hibiki room is relaxing. Service is great. Listened to some vinyl that compliments the vibe of the room
