I'm always on CitySearch for restaurant/lounge suggestions. I've never written a review before, but can't deny that Ana Mandara and the Cham Lounge are absolutely worthy of one. I agree, the food is expensive, but remember you are also paying for the ambience, service, and menu selections. If it's not in your budget, please don't go.
The dishes are very tasty. I've dined there at least five times and appreciate the service. The cocktail selections are delightful. The lounge seating is inviting. It's such a cool and pretty place to be. The bartenders are attentive. The sommelier is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The bartender, Ryan, is the best!
