⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️AMA on Downing Raw Bar absolutely blew us away. Every single dish we tried was exceptional. The sashimi salad was so fresh and vibrant, and the oysters tasted like they came straight from the ocean. The yellowtail jalapeño was hands-down the best we’ve ever had anywhere—perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor.The surprises didn’t stop there. The mushroom fried rice was unlike anything we’ve had before—deep, earthy, and completely addictive. The chicken wings and chicken quesadillas were creative and so satisfying, while the cod cakes were out of this world, crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy inside.To top it all off, the lychee martini was fantastic—not overly sweet like many places make it, but smooth, refreshing, and delightfully potent.The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Service-top notch! We can’t wait to be back! - Sanna Kalika
