I did not know when Straits started their Happy Hour service, but it was great. We get the same delicious drinks for a fraction of the original price. There was also a pretty extensive appetizer menu too. For dinner, I enjoyed their pepper crab. The spare-ribs were also amazing. And oh, great service too. Our server, Mike, was very attentive. more

Inconsistent. I've been there a dozen times. I've had great experiences, and I've also had to call the manager and ask for a reduction in the bill. more
