5/5 Tanya E. 1 year ago on Google
Experience
from
a
solo
female
traveler.
I
arrived
without
a
reservation
on
a
Friday
night
after
8:30
pm.
I
was
received
with
a
warm
welcome
by
the
host
and
was
offered
a
seat
on
a
table
or
a
seat
on
the
upper
level
with
the
lower
Japanese
style
tables
and
cushions.
Of
course,
I
went
for
the
different
experience
of
sitting
on
the
Japanese
table.
Have
to
mention
that
the
fact
that
I
was
alone
did
not
face
them
as
it
usually
happens
at
other
restaurants
-and
I
am
offered
the
table
on
the
back
next
to
the
restrooms
(highly
annoyed
by
it!-We
are
already
dining
solo,
the
least
we
need
is
to
be
shoved
into
a
corner-
but
I
digress).
At
Funky
Geisha,
I
was
given
one
of
the
best
tables
in
the
house!
The
restaurant
sits
oceanfront,
right
on
the
sand,
and
it
is
very
lively.
Dance
music
is
loud,
ongoing,
and
celebrations
abound.
There
were
many
birthdays
and
groups
suddenly
popping
up
with
sparklers
or
dancing
on
the
tables.
Let
me
add,
this
is
NOT
a
barefoot
style
bar
but
a
pretty
decent
decorated
restaurant
built
for
this
kind
of
ambiance.
People
are
generally
very
nicely
dressed,
I
loved
the
high
energy
kept
throughout
my
entire
meal.
My
server
ROBERTO
was
amazing,
keeping
me
company
and
coming
by
to
check
on
me
or
simply
chat
every
so
often
and
even
the
manager
came
by
to
chat
for
a
few
minutes
and
introduced
me
to
the
Rosa
Negra
restaurant
group
concept.
At
this
complex
are:
Funky
Geisha
(Asian),
Taboo
(Mediterranean),
Mamazitta's
(Mexican),
and
Confessions
Sky
Bar.
They
are
all
outstanding.
If
you
are
a
real
foodie
and
looking
to
try
exotic
dishes
like
"Ginormous
shrimp
from
Nigeria"
(j/k)
and
other
exotic
offerings,
this
is
your
place
to
go.
Suddenly
the
lights
went
off
and
a
really
nice
fireworks
show
ensued
right
from
the
sand
on
front
of
the
restaurant
to
the
tune
of
"New
York,
New
York".
I
was
told
that
was
the
grand
finale
of
the
evening,
and
if
I
had
arrived
around
7;30pm
I
would
have
catched
the
two
shows
of
Taiko
(Japanese
drummers)
that
perform
nightly.
I
missed
it
by
30
minutes.
Bummer.
I
ordered
a
smoked
drink
that
was
presented
by
Fernando
with
a
lot
of
theatrics
(follow
this
trend
yet?).
The
house
started
me
with
some
complimentary,
delicious
fried
appetizer,
and
I
ordered
the
spicy
edamame
and
the
lettuce
wraps.
Both
were
delicious
and
presented
beautifully.
All
in
all,
I
recommend
Funky
Geisha
to
anyone,
be
it
solo,
couples,
families,
or
groups
of
friends
celebrating
or
not.
It
will
be
a
gay
old
time.
PD.
I
also
went
to
Rosa
Negra
Steak
House
and
it
was
also
awesome.
These
restaurants
are
not
cheap
but
are
worth
every
penny!
