by Mike A. on Before reading this please keep in mind that this review isn't for the restaurant during the day but an electronic music event thrown there called Galactic Funk that was held there at night. I had an awesome time there that night and from the time i got in till 4 in the morning the music was on point all the way. So why the one star review? To start off, we asked the front door security guard before going in if backpacks, hats and beanies were allowed inside and we were told no. Not a big deal at all, except for the fact that once we got in we saw tons of people with hats and beanies on, and also people with backpacks who obviously weren't DJs. It could be that they told my friend that they wouldn't let him in with his backpack because he was black and thought he had drugs in there or something (racial profiling if you ask me and btw if you are reading this front-door-man security guard nobody is stupid enough to stash drugs inside their backpack). Then came snooty ass bartender; first he asked "what do you want!?", and I asked for a fosters beer and he replied "no", "So you guys don't have it?", and he said "NO", again, this time yelling it in my face as if I was across the room or something; I know you probably hate the fact that you have to work at the bar on "techno" night but I'm not fucking deaf. I thought about saying something back to him, like "hey you didn't have to yell at me like that", but whatever I really didn't want to stir up any trouble. Normally despite all these mishaps I'd still give them at least 3 stars because I've had some fun times here and the staff is usually awesome but here comes the last straw. My friend was sitting on the ground near the back and a latino security guard shines the light in his face and tells him that he can't sit there to which my friend complied right away with zero attitude and without saying a word. He walks to the patio balcony and the security guard follows him out. Security Guard : You tryna start shit huh? My friend : Huh? what are you talking about dude? He then backhand slaps my friend in the face multiple times to the shock and dismay of everyone on the patio. He never fought back so I'm confused as to why after doing all that the security also had to drop him to the ground severely injuring his arm (to the point where he couldn't even drive afterwards). By the end of the altercation the man had his knees on my friend's chest and throat. It eventually got broken up and my friend went to his car. His girlfriend ended up confronting the security guard that did it and apparently according to Mr.Overzealous security man my friend had said something about his family which was a total bullshit story and even if my friend had in fact said anything at all it was still no reason to do someone like that. It really irks me that for such a nice venue the staff totally sucks. But I gotta admit if rateclubs gave the option to give zero stars I'd still give them at least 1 star because I've a ton of fun times here before.
by Gregoria Courtoy on Came here on Valentine's Day night because our original destination was a long 2-hr wait and doesn't take reservation. It was a cute pizzeria and offers a good variety of family style Italian cuisine. You create your own pizza here with toppings of your choice. We ordered the sun-dried tomato and pork sausage pizza. It is a good size. They use home-made mozzarella cheese on their pizza and the crust is well-baked. It is not the best crust i have ever had but I like it. We also got the meatball spaghetti and it came in a big size. The meatball is well seasoned and nicely cooked to tender and juicy. I like this place a lot because it is quick service, good food and affordable price.
