Disclaimer: I have never been to ICU but I've heard from many that it's a fantastic gastronomic experience, think small, gourmet plates with flavors that take you for a ride. Fois gras, risotto, scallops, duck...that sort of thing. Don't go with a thin wallet!

The Food Truck Park is a cool place to hang out, enjoy a cold beer and a bite. It's a medium-sized outdoor venue with 5-6 food trucks ranging from sushi to burgers to pizza to tacos al pastor. The food isn't always great but it's a great place to go with a group that can't decide what they want to eat or want a cool place to hang out and listen to live music which is available on occasion.

Great atmosphere and good food. This place is downright cool, it has the largest TV you've ever seen in a restaurant, they have a gin cart they roll around which they use to make fresh gin and tonics at your table and they do something similar with churros towards the end of your meal. It's pricey but it's a great experience and great for a special ocassion.

Great Taiwanese food in a city with no other Taiwanese food! If you're tired of Mexican food this may be the fix you're looking for. If you know authentic Taiwanese food you might be disappointed, I'm not sure because I don't know authentic Taiwanese food.

Great sushi and fun scene. This place is run by mostly young people and is frequented by local. Really good bang for your buck, I like most of the sushi rolls but am not a fan of their rice bowls.

The best ambiance, dine and drink with your feet in the sand and catch the most stunning sunsets. Food is good, not great but the setting and the cocktails make it well worth a visit. All the cocktails are great but "El Barracuda" is my favorite. Must visit!

Great place to go for lunch and/or to get some work in. They make great sandwiches and salads that are so well presented, they are practically made for Instagram. They serve coffee and have free public wifi so you can take your laptop or tablet and get some work done while sipping on a cappucino. A favorite among locals.

Nightlife
A fancy but relatively laid back nightclub very close to the Grand Venetian in the Hotel Zone. Dress to impress and plan on spending some cash to get yourself a private table because the dance floor is small. This place is a favorite among locals and the music ranges from EDM to Mexican and American pop.
