I stopped in at The Pool House at the Pendry Hotel for a light lunch after a men's facial at the Spa Pendry. At the bar, I ordered the "Hiramasa" or Yellow Tail Sashimi at $15 and a draft M.D. Ultra at $7.
The yellow tail was no doubt delicious and melted in my mouth as I ate, but what impressed me were the ingredients that came along with the meal. The ponzu was tasty and I loved the addition of the delicately sliced Serrano peppers. The red sauce, similar or actually a Sirracha went well with the Hiramasa. The texture of the fish was quite buttery and its flavor was keen. At $15, the price seemed fair for the quality of fish, but I would like to see them serve a little more of that micro salad which was a very good palate cleanser between offerings of the fish.
The M.B. Ultra was refreshing and light, but I was disappointing that they served it in a warm glass which allowed the beer to loose it coldness quicker than it should of. They have to find away to keep their beer glasses cold, especially for those warm summer days and nights.
Service was pretty good. The young lady who served me at first, before a shift change, had a great personality and was attentive. After she left, it was not as well refined as it should been. Nevertheless, the place is beautiful, and offers a great view of the Gaslamp Quarter and such. Their are private cabanas, a pool, and state of the art Jacuzzi. The general public can access the The Pool House from 5th avenue visit the bar and enjoy to of the great eats they offer here, not to mention the pool parties!
