In Short – Even if this place does not have its tongue thoroughly planted in its cheek, it should encourage its patrons to assume the tongue-in-cheek pose upon entry. After all, no matter if you're sipping Dom or swigging on Brut Rose, you can't possibly take yourself seriously at a place called Swanky Bubbles. The over-the-top enchantment under the sea scene obligates you to order a pretty plate of sushi and a pink and fizzy "Oui-Oui."

Great food $$$and Horrible service - NEVER again.
by Jefferson17
Absolutely correct in all respects. This was our first (and last) time at Swanky Bubbles. We were a large group to celebrate a friends birthday. Well - the waitress (and I think also a manager - an asian lady) was quite rude and indifferent the entire time we were there. It wasn't just my impression - we all commented on it after leaving.
The food is very good. No doubt about it. And the drinks are also very good. But it's not cheap - expect $50 per person with a drink or two each. i.e.: a single bottle of domestic beer is $7 and up. And that would be fine - EXCEPT for the nasty treatment by our waitress.
Since our party was large we got stuck with a mandatory 20% for her hideous service. We will NEVER again go there. At $50 a head we could eat pretty much anywhere and also be treated like customers.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service

Loved it!
by bethany717
I went to Swanky Bubbles with a friend for dinner on Saturday. We had a reservation, and were seated almost immediately. We got 2 huge sushi rolls to share as well as the seared Tuna. The servicde was attentive and speedy, but not rushed. We ended up getting another roll because the first 2 were so good. The bill was right around $100 (including 4 cocktails and 2 bowls of edemame), which I thought was a great value. I'll certainly be back!
- Pros: Great food, good value
- Cons: a little small, but wasn't a problem for me

A nice evening out
by donknows
My wife and I came here not long ago enjoyed the bar to its fullest. Their champagne is to die for and I don't even care for it that much usually. my wife tried the sushie and loved it I had the crab cakes and they were made very well. This place is a bit expensive but the champagne is worth it - wow!
- Pros: champagne
- Cons: expensive
