A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
So this place is a sorta upscale bar and restaurant.
Cocktails here were pretty good (got a lychee drink, old fashioned and some random lunch, all of which were great).
We also got salute and pepper chicken wings, prawns and pork sliders. All were really good.
We ended up going to this place for dinner on our way to Reno (for burning man).
Gotta day, this place was pretty terrible. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was extremely salty. Also, the old fashion was meh.
So, not going back here again.
We came here for burgers and drinks.
I wasn’t too Hungary, so I just had the cheese fries and wings, plus and old fashion (for happy hour, it was not bad).
Next time I go back I’ll try a burger.
We went to this place for a quick drink. I gotta say, this place was pretty bad in terms of drinks. I got a mojito, and it tasted water downed, to the point I could not taste either alcohol or the flavor. The quesedilla on the other hand was ok. However, not coming back here again.l (although I will say the chips and salsa were actually good also).
We went to this Japanese restaurant mainly for drinks. The view is absolutely amazing, and the service was pretty good. Our server even let us play our own music with the speaker we brought.
I got an old fashion, which was ok. Next time I do want to try the food.
So we went here for 4th of July. Great dive bar that is pretty spacious, has the deer shooting arcade game, and the salt curling board game (plus connect 4 and a giant jenga game).
For drinks, I had old fashions, which were pretty good. This place’s specialty though is mules. Had a taste of the American one. It was pretty sweet, but tasted good.
For food, got a side of fries. Definitely hit the spot. Also, had a friend’s potato chips, which tasted home made, and I really enjoyed it (it wasn’t salty, and tasted crisp and fresh).
To end off, we had pickle-backs, which also hit the spot.
Had a team lunch here, since it’s walkable from Apple Park.
For bar food, I found the prices slightly high. I ended up getting the fish and chips, which was pretty standard. I also had an old fashion to accompany it.
I wouldn’t mind coming back here, but definitely not a first choice for lunch.
We tried out this place because of a friend’s friend’s recommendation.
Overall, a very unique atmosphere. A lot of different types of rooms (one room reminds me like the rainforest cafe). In terms of drinks, I got the Pima colada. It was alright, but I’ve had better. In terms of food, unfortunately they were out of things I wanted (ie empanadas). I ended up getting the ham and cheese sandwich. It was overall ok. I thought this place was very unique, but not sure if I would go back.
Went to this place as the last drinking stop of the night.
One highlight is that they have a page in there menu that talks about prohibition in the US, and if you shine a blue light on it, a secret drink shows up on it (it was called the red old fashioned). The secret drink was not that great though (because there was red pepper unit).
The main drink that was great (in both presentation and taste) was Beauty and the Beast. Look at the pic below!
The first drink I got was also pretty good (I forget the name, but it had white chocolate covering the rim, and some truffle mixed in it).
I normally don’t post about bars, but this one is an exception.
Basically they specialize in flaming shots. We got 5 of them (I only remember three of them).
The first one was the marshmallow shot, where we roast marshmallows and put out the flame in the shot before eating it.
The second shot we had was the the speedy potter (like Harry Potter) where we eat an orange covered in cinnamon, and then take a shot that was just lit on fire.
The third shot we got (kalashnikov) was a shot similar to the second, but it was with a lemon instead of orange.
The fourth shot we got (B-52) was a shot that was on fire, and then you would drink it out of a straw while it was on fire!
The fifth shot we got was the Lorenzo, where they basically light the shot on fire, they would put it out, then you would smell it, then drink the shot, then smell it again. The second time you would smell it, there is a strong kick.
Overall, this was an excellent place!
