Great place to eat and be entertained! Talented performers like Amin on the saxophone and Stella with her incredible belly dancing make the ambiance truly special. The servers are outstanding, and it’s easily one of the best spots in Glendale. Plus, there’s no cover charge, making it perfect for parties, especially birthdays. With top DJs playing music from around the world, you won’t be disappointed.

Great place for a date! I don’t know how loud it gets during busy times but we were there on a Sunday evening and the ambience was perfect. We sat out on the patio with at a fire pit table which added to the romantic lighting and sound of the ocean in the background made it really special for date night. The cocktails were delicious. It was late so we only a two apps but everything tasted great. The only complaint is the service. There were lots of staff milling around but to get someone to actually wait on us was a bit difficult.
