Love the taco Tuesdays and the ambiance's fantastic. Libations flows through the restaurant as well as the conversations and The Vibes.

My food was really good, but it is too expensive for what is being served. My daughter's food was a little salty. The atmosphere is a vibe though. We ordered bottle service and for $350 we got 1 bottle of the tequila with the deer on it. I don't drink cheap alcohol, so I ordered my drinks from the bar. I enjoyed myself though.

I went to Taco Tuesday, where there was a sign indicating that tacos were $2 each. Despite this, when I ordered three tacos, the total came out to $19. When we mentioned the sign stating $2, the hostess dismissed it as old, claiming ignorance of its contents. This was unacceptable. I ended up getting the tacos, which turned out to be disappointing at $7 each. Despite the good vibe and DJ, I recommend steering clear of the tacos as they seemed to have been sitting in a chafing dish, overcooked and unappetizing.

I wouldn't go back to any event here. The establishment had a lack of adequate restrooms during their outdoor event. The establishment only had two restrooms and there were at least 100 or more people at this event. My experience with the security staff was unpleasant as they were unhelpful, rude and aggressive when I asked to find alternate means to use the restroom as the I stood in line behind 15-20 people waiting to use the restroom. I ended up leaving after paying a $50 cover.

I was robbed of an $850 Sony Camera along with a $60 SD card at a Democratic election party (of all places). The venue's bar staff, including the owner, Chris, the "security" personnel, and interns for the political campaign, were unhelpful, complicit, careless, RUDE, and even aggressive when I attempted to ask them for help and tried to engage in conversation with them. Such behavior is disgusting. If you value your safety and belongings, avoid this place. UPDATED reply to owner, Chris: The fact that you are attempting to gaslight and claim, “it's not a robbery," when one of your customers (or possibly staff) stole my camera without my consent, in front of my presence (I did not leave the bar until closing) at your establishment where you and your security did nothing about it, is condescending on your part. In layman’s term, it is considered robbery in Alameda County, in the state of California. Lurking through a profile and stating the timing of the review is irrelevant (as I just noticed you set up GMB within the last year). Please don’t distract your readers from learning about how inconsiderate and unprofessional you and your staff handled the situation. Apparently, you have a selective memory and did not do a good job investigating afterwards because I am not a "sir." You avoided all communication until I called your cell phone; you did not review your surveillance cameras as promised. You ignored all outreach after that.

Was celebrating my birthday. Loved the live band. $7 for 1 street taco too much.. Eat before you come. The vibe was cool.

Bartenders galore always improves a bar or lounge experience. 1 star for having 1 bartender.
