Fun atmosphere. Filled with awesome people dancing and awesome music. We went on a Friday night, when a band called The Brew was playing. They were amazing. I wish I could salsa.
The wait is a little long if they’re crowded, but you get to sit at the bar, listen to good music, and dance. S’all good.
This place is a bit on the pricer end, so come prepared.
Oh, and it’s a cozy place. Good place to take the ladies, fellas.

Sometimes the most surprisingly best meals are ones you get to adventure alone and fully emmerse yourself in the flavors and ambiance a venue offers. M Two is the newest rebirth of what was once Saba Blue Water Cafe on 4th st — and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who inquires; Just be prepared to pay for good eats and ambiance. Definitely a happy hour watering hole, but I can see them dimming the lights, throwing in some lounge music, and being able to get close with a missus on swank couches alit from umbrella lights.
The Seared Scallops were AMAZING, and the peruvian chile added just a flavor of spice without the burn.

Craving some good Italian food? This place is located right next door to its sister Vespaio. We haven’t tried Vespaio, but we will soon. Enoteca is a less fancy, less expensive version. However, that being said, this place isn’t cheap. We spent $40 for two people.

Happy Birthday to Jocelyn Lo, co-creator of Gimmenomnom!

Her birthday was this past Wednesday, but we decided to take her out last Tuesday. After extensive research on where to take her, I settled for Mediterranean, and found an awesome place called Phara’s.

Hello everyone,
Had a chance to try out Hot Pot City before their grand opening today. They had a preopening for tenants in the area for a free dinner last night. I havent had the chance to eat hot pot at restaurants because I prefer to make it at home, but this restaurant was pretty decent. Their presentation of the food on the plates were pretty and the food was good. Sorry for the quality of the pictures because all I had was my cellphone on me.
