This is a nice enough spot in the Valencia Town Center property that does a nice enough job but isn't necessarily such a great atmosphere for kids or family. They're probably not going for that, so that's okay, but my wife, teenage son and I wanted a bite and to play pool so this was where we chose to go.
It's gastropub style food with some options for vegetarians including a few sides and a Beyond Burger option for any of their burgers.
We weren't all that hungry and I ended up just getting a side salad which was not all that impressive...but hey, who goes to a bar and gets a side salad. I guess I'll take the hit for that one.
Trying to play pool was a bit of a bummer...you have to go stand at the bar to trade your ID for pool cues and balls. I guess that shouldn't be a problem, but I stood there for quite some time before any of the bar tenders noticed me, or maybe decided to actually see if they could help me. There were more staff working in and around the bar than patrons, plus at least one party who arrived at the bar after me got taken care of before me...so I ended up just feeling not particularly important to anyone there for quite some time until they eventually asked what I wanted. That experience, as fun as it was playing pool with my soon, left me not wanting to rush back to a place that I didn't feel particularly welcome in.

I was at first very impressed with this bar but the last 3 times I have gone the service has not been that great. The bar tender girls are very pretty but they attend more to the male consumer. For a female going into this bar - good luck on getting a drink. It's become a very male dominant bar. Some items on the menu have little to no taste- recommend the tacos and desserts. It tends to be expensive in price. Overall, the asthetic is very pleasing but definitely need to work on their service. I will not be coming back after my last experience with my girlfriends.

I've been eyeing this place for a while and didn't know what to expect. It's a very strange mix of a lot of ideas. It's a sports bar, a restaurant, an oyster bar, and there was a DJ turning it into a rave all at once. The menu is equally scattered. However, the food was pretty good. For the price, the filet mignon was perfectly cooked and pretty tasty. Not the highest quality cut of meat but prepared very well. The lemon pepper brussel sprouts had no lemon pepper flavor but they still tasted pretty great. I feel like a tiny bit of unification of it's identity and menu and atmosphere could make a big difference but overall it is worth a trip.

Came here for a nice date night with the wife. We arrive just after 6pm on a Saturday and luckily we did as we beat the 7pm rush. Our food was delicious and our drinks were great. We ordered raindrop martinis, pama tini, (pomegranate flavor) and blueberry lemon drop. For food we ordered carne asada macho nachos and calamari and buffalo wings. Our service was great. Professional friendly staff. They have plenty of TV'S for any sports watching and I found out as we were leaving that they have pool tables. They have inside and outside dining, plus a private party section for reservations.

The atmosphere cool and like a rustic night club. The food is the saving grace for the restaurant as the cook's are great. However, service is what can make or break a restaurant and it definitely broke this one.
The few workers there prefer to chill outside on there phone or in the kitchen more than to check in at least once every half hour.
2 tables and 1 person at the bar for customers and everyone was having difficulty with service.
Only worth coming for the music, as good as the cook's are, the service will spoil their work.
