Q: negative

A: This is a neighborhood place geared toward locals in Boca Park Shopping Center. Like all these neighborhood places the bar is closed off from the restaurant which is a relief for non-smokers. Hubby and I tried this place around 4 p.m. on a weekday and the food was pretty good. We had a couple of sandwiches and fries and two iced teas. Nobody serves water here unless you ask for it. Our bill came to about $25. We'll probably be back. I prefer if over Bilbo's down the street.

Q: positive

A: Not your normal Chinese food, this food is good. Staff was frendinely and attentives with out being pushy. Very good experience.

Q: negative

A: Good selection, terrible prices. Honestly, anyone who purchases beer here must not know it's less expensive literally anywhere else in he valley. The 5 cent wine sale is awesome, so are the craft beer glasses, but that's about it. Their hours suck.

monday night is probably not the night most people wander out for a few cocktails while catching up with a friend. but i like to bend the rules a bit, so i headed to Bond No 9 this past monday to enjoy some alcoholic beverages and a good chat with a good friend. what i love about Bond No 9 is the variety of cocktails they have on offer. they've recently redone their menu to give it a good update, but also have a note that they will still make any of the cocktails off their old menu if you ask. additionally if you ask for a cocktail that isn't on any menu or just fancy something different they're happy to mix something up that suits your tastes. the bartenders are excellent and i've never had a bad drink here. on monday i partook in a rural gimlet which was a lovely mixture of gin and grapefruit aand nettle (or was it thistle) syrup and other citrus fruits. i also had a violetta resereva that featured a mixture of rums, violet syrup, and some other things to make it taste lovely. clearly i had a few too many cocktails as their descriptions are a bit fuzzy now... i also ordered a burger from their newly updated menu. i was a bit disappointed that their new menu didn't have any salads on it or any of the sandwiches or lighter dishes feature on their old menu. but the burger was very tasty as were the fries so i can't complain too much. this place is great when it's warm and sunny as they have a really big outdoor seating area along the commercial wharf but it's also good when it's not warm and sunny as it has a large indoor space with loads of comfy seating. there is also a dedicated area for the restaurant if you're only in to eat food. definitely a great bar to go to and it doesn't usually get too crowded as most people don't tend to go to the shore for a night out. their loss really, but my gain as i can always get a seat and served quickly :)
