by mian g. on Yes I'm a fan. This is the fancy version of a buffet...except people go get the food for you. All you can eat? I'm sold. We had the classic. It comes with two apps, two salads, four main course, and two desserts. Everything is shared family style. I feel bad sometimes when I eat family style with friends. I can be a beast at times. But there's no stopping me here. Mussels was the appetizer highlight. Mussels were made with garlic wine sauce. Let me just say they had to refill the plate a few times. Salad was ... eh? I don't eat salad, I'm a carnivore Proceed to the entrees Boneless italian shortribs. Okay they was my request and frankly i was disappointed. They tasted good but Boneless? C'mon man. It's like Pluckers serving boneless chicken wings. There aren't wings if they're boneless. Yes I admit it - I failed..... this time Here come the Coach Joey Z's Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage to save the day. Alright looks can be deceiving. It didn't help that the deep brown sausage was uncut and placed slightly crisscrossed on top of red pasta. It looked like a big log of S**T. I kid you not. This wasn't the time to verbalize my thoughts. Everyone gave me a disgusted look. Oh well more for me! Dessert time. Hello baby. Toasted Nonna'a pound cake. Come to papa. I love pound cake. I use to eat a whole sara lee pound cake myself. This came with ice cream and caramelized strawberry. Good way to end a dinner. Service was excellent. I couldn't help but notice how nice the hostess was. I think her name was Jess?
by Timber W. on Maybe it was the music. I went with my sister and her boyfriend to Star Bar to see Royal Thunder and How I Became the Bomb (cool name, I know). Royal Thunder, with their stuffed ram and goth-looking candles on stage, actually got my stiff hips swaying. (I don't have arthritis; I just can't dance.) Perhaps the cheap Cabernet Sauvignon also had something to do with it. Even though there were various devices broken in the bathroom, I am willing to overlook the dilapidation. THAT'S how much fun I had. The bartenders were friendly, the music was great, and the company was even better.
