    Came for dinner + drinks and was surprised by how good it was. The interior is super cute and I love the decor. The menu is designed more like an izakaya/small tapas style so it was great to try everything on the menu. Service was very friendly and efficient - they take food allergies very seriously. Some highlights: - House Chips: honestly so good wish I could buy it in a bag and bring it home so - Hainan Chicken Arancini: The best dish of the night. I love me some hainan chicken rice and it tasted exactly as you would imagine it. - Xi'an Street Noodle: The best part of this dish was the chili crisp sauce which I was told by our waiter that it's made in-house! For drinks, I tried the Banna Espress and it was super good! Definitely worth the hype.

    I could not recommend cloud & spirits more, especially for a special occasion! My partner and I went for a dinner to celebrate our anniversary and were so pleased with everything. The ambiance was great with a nicely decorated interior. The service was excellent - our server was quick and efficient, offered up recommendations, was accommodating with allergies, and very friendly! Lastly, the food was great, with small plate options that were perfect to share. We ordered the crudo, arancini, mushroom ravioli, sesame white pepper chicken and split the bread pudding and Milo ice cream for dessert (which paired very well together!) I will definitely be back!

    Great spot for a date/night out with friends!! Got a few plates and wanted to try all of their cocktails. The Arancini and Street noodle are a must try. The cocktails were super creative, most with an asian twist. Jaded was my fave, it was a matcha cocktail that came with a toasted marshmallow. Music was on point! Tons of lofi beats and indie pop electronic I shazamed like every other song. The best part was that every Friday i guess they have a DJ in at 10p. We stayed and danced the rest or the night. It was perfect.

    We were told that we needed to vacate because there is a reservation waiting. Our orders were not taken in a timely manner and we were not done with our dishes. Then after we paid we were told they shuffled things around and we can stay, at which point it seemed kind of moot. I told the host that they could have offered us a bar space and he said with a lot of attitude that the seats were reserved. (I was not pointing to the bar seats with the reserved signs but just a bar space they had across from it). We were very disappointed and would not be returning. It’s too bad because I have supported this place since the beginning but they obviously do not value loyal customers.

    I knew the menu was limited, but the food lacked flavor and the service could have been faster. Parking wasn’t an issue. The restaurant wasn’t too loud and a nice ambiance. I wouldn’t go back for food.

    The cocktails are impressive. Tried the classic cloud 9 and espresso martini to start- very good. Loved the presentation of the cloud 9- Poured over at the table over cotton candy. The vibe- Semi off putting though to have menu as QR code and then we had to self check out on our phones and pay the bill. I just feel like this place is on the verge of greatness- right now it’s just ok but with a few minor tweaks it could be great. If I’m doing all the work on my phone to order and pay- this is not greatness folks. The food- $28 for buffalo chicken. It was yummy, essentially tempura chicken thigh bites- wayyyy too shy on the buffalo sauce. Ranch was superb but the dipping sauce should not be the star of the show. As stated above a small change like more buffalo sauce could take this dish from good to great- not worth $28 Street noodles- loved the big, homemade style noodles but the sauce and flavor was disappointing. Heavy on the sesame and peanut butter the sprouts were my favorite part for the watery crunch. Also the chili oil served with it- the cumin added I found overwhelming. I want my chili oil to be spicy chili oil not a blast of a dry Mexican spice taking over all other flavors. Salmon sando-yaki- this concept is great, the execution left me wanting more. The “sauce” or whatever squash chutney served with it was interesting but could’ve been done better. I wanted something more dip-able vs a chunky kind of strange texture. Something was missing from the filling maybe green onions or a gooey melty cheese could take it a grilled cheese level. The bread was my favorite part… it should be about the sauce and the filling not the bread. We also had an Envy cocktail- if you like mezcal, spicy, Smokey flavor profiles- it was perfection, the lingering taste of honey dew melon slaps. But again… the drink shouldn’t be my favorite thing of the night. Elevate a bit more.

    Cloud & SpiritsResponded on February 7, 2023We appreciate such thorough and thoughtful feedback and will consider your points in our meetings going forward. We're delighted you enjoyed your cocktails and will work hard to reach your expectations on food. We do want to point out that paper menus are available at request and you do not have to self checkout, it is just an option provided by our check system but you are free to leave your card in the box we drop the checks off with and a server will be more than happy to run it for you.

    Food was great, service was not. Our server was scarce and took a long time to take our drink orders. We saw more of the other server working than we did our own. The food was delicious, but we almost left in the beginning because of how negligent our server was.

    Mocktail with matcha was really good, the quality of the food was great, but taste-wise for me it was not particularly impressive. The lighting was also a little too dim - the food looked good but you'd want your guests to see them better! The server was very nice, always addressed guests with a smile, and took the time to explain the menu.

    My boyfriend had walked by and wanted to try it, so I took him out to celebrate his promotion. First red flag was the fake plants and fake candles everywhere, it just felt cheap inside. We ordered the squash soup (boring, wrong texture), lotus chips (totally unseasoned), duck wontons (bland but perhaps the best thing?), mussels (absolutely doused in garlic, but nothing else), and sticky rice risotto. The sticky rice risotto is when I simply put my fork down, it was like eating mushy rice pilaf from a box. The only redeeming thing I can say is that our server was fine, and my boyfriend enjoyed his cocktail. I'm not one to write restaurant reviews at all, but I was so disappointed by our experience here on a celebratory night.

    This Asian fusion restaurant was a pleasant surprise. We had plans to go dancing in central square and needed a place for dinner that was healthy, delicious, and walking distance from the square. As a ten minute walk this place fit our requirements and we ordered three "small plates" of delicious food: hamachi crudo, arancini and the southern fried chicken dish. The arancini in particular was a real standout.

    First the positive: the drinks were AMAZING! The K-Pop in particular was delicious. The food was bland, unimaginative (nearly everything was served on a bed of raw, unseasoned spinach) and odd. The fried chicken was wonderfully crispy, but had NO flavor! No garlic, no paprika, no onion, no seasoning salt. It tasted like it was just a dash of salt and a bit of pepper. The Caprese Spring Roll and the meatballs were unappetizing at best. The arincini balls were slightly better, but not enough to bring me back. The music turned off shortly after we arrived, so it really made the restaurant feel empty (it was quite empty of people). I really wanted to love this place!

    Our server was great — truly attentive— and we loved all the food. The wagyu meatballs might have been the least exciting, but that’s really because I didn’t catch that they come in a coconut milk bath. We will be back over and over again.
