“The wife and I had an anniversary/birthday celebration. It couldn’t have been better. The food was outstanding and perfectly cooked. I had salmon, she had filet and lobster. The service was great, and they even decorated our table and gave us a dessert. I would highly recommend going here for a special or any occasion.”
“Food was great , customer service and atmosphere was good , prices are a little high , simply because there’s no combos everything is priced separately for example if you get a burger the fries are separate and the drink is separate but I’m overall pleased and definitely will be ”
“Lunch dine in. Wonderful service and food. Special shout out to Kayla our server. She was very professional and attentive to our needs. A great front line representative for the restaurant.”
“Our server, Eugene, was excellent. He was formal as well and friendly. He was attentive and prompt. He helped make our excellent meals more enjoyable. The noise level was pretty high, but the room was crowded and the tables were close together. It is expensive, but for special occasions, just right.”
“The woman at the counter seemed a little impatient but the food is really good for quick, QUALITY, Indian fare. I ordered dine-in but still managed to get takeout bag. ?”
“Great all around. Drinks are cheaper for the area. Lots of options. They have a lot of events. Food trucks are always good. Bartenders are attentive. Can’t wait for summer again!”
“Excellent restaurant. We enjoyed a lot the food the atmosphere and above all - the service ! Joe our waiter was really great : with his recommendations and his attitude. We will be ”
“Bar Italia continues to be a family favorite. My wife and I love to eat at the bar when it’s the two of us. And our adult kids enjoy coming with us always. The food is tremendous and we love many things on the menu. The wine selection is also very good.”
“Excellent patty melt...best tasting burger I think I may have ever had...exceptional service too! I believe Jordyn was our waitress and she was great... we'll be back on our next visit!”
“I was going to a concert with my companion and I'd read about and been recommended to this place by someone in a Facebook group. I was pretty excited to try what was billed as "Authentic Japanese". Anyone who's familiar with actual Japanese cuisine knows the struggle. The atmosphere was nice, service was great, food was a bit of a miss. They certainly appear to try to be "authentic", and they come close, closer than most any non familiar with Japanese food person would be able to tell, but just not quite. One of my favorite dishes is Agedashi Tofu. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find this dish prepared right. Nearly all of the non Japanese owned or operated "Japanese" restaurants don't come close and many offer what is actually Korean or some other form of "fried tofu", with the Korean version being my least favorite, fried portions of tofu that are very dry and bland, in my experience. This place came close but there were issues. First there were two huge blocks of fried tofu, and it was actually prepared right, but never have I had such large chunks. They're usually several small cubes. They did get the bonito flakes right but I found them not nearly as smokey as they should have been, almost non existently smokey and didn't add to the dish as they should. There was absolutely no greenery, scallions, nothing. The sauce was very almost watery tasting and not very flavorful. Needless to say I was disappointed. Second would be the "giyoza", which was actually the topic of the Facebook group post on someone looking for authentic Japanese prepared giyoza. This place is definitely "not it". The "dumplings" we got were deep fried, in a shell that was thick and powdery tasting to eat. Just not in any way remotely like actual giyoza. The sushi nigiri we ordered was fine, much like any other decent sushi place, so no complaints there. Lastly the Nabeyaki Udon took forever to come out, the tempura to go with it even longer, and the broth was different tasting than expected. At that point we were pretty full, pressed to get to our concert as the wait for our food had set us back. We took the Udon to go but later found the noodles had soaked up all the broth and it was pretty unappetizing. The Yakitori was ok, not the best but not the worst. Lastly, the place is a bit hard to find. The frontage from the street looks like office buildings or something residential and you have to go around that and down a slope to the back bottom of that to get to the actual restaurant and even then we weren't sure we were at the right place until we entered. Overall, while most people will probably enjoy this place, someone who knows Japanese food, may not.”
“Cool restaurant concept with the bowling, bocce, and quite a nice restaurant. Only reason for the missing star is it was so packed that it took forever to get through the buffet line. Apparently on Saturday and Sunday mornings through 3pm or so they have a buffet only, no entrees. It was just really packed and crazy to the point where I probably wouldn't go back on the weekends at least. But our waitress was great and I'm sure it would have been fun to do some bowling.”
“Sand Pebbles exceeded my expectations! The tofu was cooked to perfection, and the waitress was incredibly friendly, making the entire experience delightful. We will definitely return to this location!”
“Our server Bridget was attentive in every was possible. We really enjoyed having her as our server. Now, for the food, the mussels were sprinkled with a lot of salt on the shells and the broth was TOO SALTY. They were returned only to discover, that the chef had rinsed the salt off of the shells and my wife could not eat them because she is on a restricted low sodium intake. The chef served the same mussels that were returned, which was in poor taste on Heck's part. My wife was SO DISAPPOINTED!!! It will be a long time before we dine there again.”
“Haven’t been here since I was a little kid and it remains excellent. Nothing trendy, just the classics done correctly. It wasn’t Sonny in the back and Lee trading barbs with my father while buttering my steamed rice like it was 35yrs ago, but it took me back. Glad we stopped.”
“Jam-packed on a Saturday evening but food, atmosphere, and especially service was on point. Erica took great care of us, her recommendations and suggestions were perfect. Some dishes the group loved were the cheddar biscuits (of course), whipped feta, blackened shrimp capellini, and butternut squash carbonara.”
