by Sam L. on ive been waiting for something like this to open up. no more sneaking in beers in your pockets or telling your girlfriends to hide bottles in their purses.. pandora has a full bar and drinks are pretty fair priced. aside from that, this place has the sickest rooms ever. each room has a different theme and fits over 10 people COMFORTABLY. the best part is it doesnt smell like raunchy cheap motel with cigarette smell in the ventilation system. staff are extremely friendly too! also, their karaoke system is out of this world. they have real videos!! 5 stars guys n gals!
by Jolie Haulbrook on I felt like I was walking on to a movie set. There were a bunch of actors dressed in traditional Italian ristorante fashion, complete with maroon vests ... and thick accents. Wood paneling covered the walls and provided the perfect backdrop for the obligatory fish tank behind the bar. No, not some fancy salt water tank -- an old-school classroom-style tank o' fish. Our server recommended the very good deal of the day, which, it turns out, was actually the good "veal." So we went with what was recommended and ordered veal, prepared two different ways. I ordered the piccata -- medallions of veal sauted in butter, lemon, white wine sauce, and zucchini with capers. They aren't joking about the butter part -- my veal was swimming in it. What? You didn't know veal could swim? It can. Despite the cholesterol, my meal was delicious. Upon ordering, the waiter asked us which side item we would like. When presented with myriad of options I inquired about his favorite. Without a breath he responded, "You'll see!" He quickly spun around and was off before we could get in another word. He ended up bringing us two types of pasta -- yum! The light fixtures and suspended ceiling date back at least 30 years (the restaurant first started serving up authentic Italian food in 1974). Eclectic art hangs on the wall. It's nice to know that good things stick around.
by Jennifer S. on [overdue entry, but feel free to scope out my NEXT OVERDUE entry] GHETTTTTTTT---------------TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I finally made it out of my comfort zone and went out to the Mission District. Not only is it super far from me, but what's UP with the $10 cover charge? C'MON! Damn, was it ever H-O-T in there! Can it get ANY MORE HOTTER? Is it TOO MUCH TO PUMP UP THE AC? It was prolly 100 in there, but then, when you walk out for fresh air, it's like 50! BURRRRRRRRR... GOD DAMN! Goodness! SICK! 1st place I've been to where the AC was seriously in NEED of some TLC. I mean, shiet! With the $10 cover charge, we can EASILY pay for your electric bill for the evening! Even yet, they have a decent, nice outside patio, just walk up 3-4 flights of stairs... Idk, ghetto, GHET-TO crowd...
