Walking into Saba, it's almost as if you're going underwater. The lighting is dim, but you can see. Even when it's packed with people, it seems quiet. There is a 500-gallon tropical-fish aquarium in the middle of the bar, dividing the "restaurant" tables from the bar tables. Late at night, the whole place becomes the bar, and most of the restaurant tables are filled with people drinking. However, they do still serve food late into the night. The red brick and polished wood walls are adorned by large colorful paintings of naked couples swimming in tropical seascapes. In the rear of the place, there a huge illuminated blue wall that adds to the underwater atmosphere.

There's a little bit of standing room if you can't find a table or place to sit, there's even a little ledge in the standing area. Saba is a great place to start your night with a few drinks. It's also a prime date spot with lots of couples (lots of groups of singles too!).

My very favorite drink here is the $6.00 frozen lemongrass margarita. The menu claims it's made with Sauza Gold Tequila, fresh limes, and lemon grass, but it tastes like a combination of orange juice, lemons, and margarita, but not too sweet or sour. They also have several other Caribbean-themed specialty drinks, the $7.00 Blue Water Martini that tastes like "Ocean Water" from Sonic Drive-In! :) Also, be careful what you ask for... My friend and I asked the bartender for a "strong shot that tastes good." I've done this at other bars and discovered some pretty good drinks, but in this case, we got a Barcardi 151 shot with a little Raspberry Liquor on top. Wow - very strong!

Anyway, if nothing else, go there and try their lemongrass margarita - yum!!
