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."

Swanky Bubbles This past Saturday is the LAST time we will ever eat there again. We were a large group there to celebrate a friends birthday. Well - the waitress (and perhaps also one of the managers - 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. Their food is very good as are their drinks. But for $50 a person we expect at least decent treatment and service, not this cold fish of a woman who clearly felt we were imposing on her to patronize the restaurant. Not one smile. Not one, "how is everything - is the food ok"? And since our party was large we got stuck with a mandatory 20% for her hideous service. NEVER again. We don't mind spending a lot when we go out - but to be treated that way? Forget it! It's inexcusable. Posted 04/26/09 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The food is spectacular. the sushi is amazing and the chicken fried rice is addictive. They must put crack in it or something, haha. Really, you must give this place a try. The staff is the friendliest ever. We came for a champagne tasting that was hosted by the General Manager and this really funny French guy. We had the best time! These guys really know what they're doing. The manager taught us so much about champagne we can't wait to go back and try everything. Love you Swanky. Don't ever change!

The food was poor at best and the service was equally poor. I did not think the menu was inventive or the atmosphere inviting. Basically the name is the best part about it.

Swanky Bubbles I feel like this whole area around the bottom of Market is full of overpriced crap tailored to money happy idiots from the suburbs who are too afraid to try an actual ethnic restaurant . This place served me this kind of pseudo-Asian nonsense that cost three times the price of an actual Asian restaurant. . . I feel sorry for these sheltered pricks who have no idea what crispy beef is supposed to taste like and settle for this. PROS: The sushi was quite good. CONS: Everything was overpriced and underportioned Posted 09/14/06 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

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 Posted 03/31/09 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 Posted 12/19/08 A pretty okay place By DanaWavery I found the service good and friendly, the food was amazing but you have to share it with your friend/boyfriend or other. The Champagne was unbelievabley tasty and the various kinds were amazing. I would go back for another taste of their champagne, even my boyfriend liked it and he doesn't like champagne. The place was very small and crowded it needed a bit more room and the music should have been a little lower but overall I would go back. Pros: food, champagne Cons: music volumn, to tiny Posted 12/09/08 Unbelievably Great Food, Unbelievably Bad Service By BHellenbach This has been one of our favorite restaurants for a while because of the great food and friendly service. However, on our most recent visit, the attitude given to our party by the manager, both before dining and after spending hundreds of dollars on cuisine and wine, was inexcusable. We will never eat there again. Furthermore, we will spread the news of our visit to our numerous groups of friends who dine there often, or should I say, used to. Nice job, guy. Pros: food Cons: management Posted 12/03/08 Very Good! By neolissa I Definitely Recommend Swanky Bubbles! I am 20 and went with a group of my friends. We all enjoyed our food the music and the service! I'm vegetarian and found plenty of options. I liked the mexican roll, the veggie tempura, and the GOAT CHEESE CRISPS ^_^. my friends loved the chicken satay, dragon roll, and the banana boat dessert. we couldn't have any drinks :( (we were even carded at the door once), but the other patrons seemed pleasantly buzzed. The only cons are the stairs to the bathroom (the top stairs slant down and the bottom stairs slant up) 0.o and not everything on the menu is to die for. (lobster rissotto, crabcakes) . I have been here a handful of times. It is definitely an olde city FAVE! Pros: good food, prompt seating, capable waitstaff, private bathroom stall Cons: stairs to bathroom, parking Posted 07/13/08
