We came here with a work group, in town for a conference. Three dots, and a dash was the perfect place to let loose. We enjoyed the fun whimsical drinks, and the atmosphere! Our server was wonderful! And we will definitely be back!

The first half of our visit was fair. Our table was near a center column so inebriated couples kept pushing our table and chairs out of the way to squish between us and the column. The second half was fuzzy due to three trashy socialites setting up at the table adjacent to ours and blinding us with their flash photography for the rest of the night.

We had the pu pu platter plus some sides, everything was really nice plated and yummy, my favorite thing forever is the curry. The holiday drinks were really cute and i also like that they have zero proof drinks that are delicious and also come in a cool glass.
