Last month, Makers & Finders tried out the idea of a pop up social dinner event on First Friday. It…read morewas invite only, Asian themed, and a success. This month, they made it a public event, went with a Cuban food and salsa theme, and brought in Chef Beni Velasquez! The event itself was successful in that there were a lot of people, great atmosphere with live salsa music and dancing, and an inspired menu. The dishes I tried were just okay (Crispy chicken skins, fried plantains, Latin chopped salad, Cuban sandwich), with the exception of the phenomenal Espresso Flan dessert. Friends said the drinks were good but I didn't partake. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed by the crowd but service was still friendly. Looking forward to future CAMA events, knowing staff will learn and adapt as they go on. Hoping the host restaurant eventually expands their hours permanently with an evening menu, even if it's just tapas-style

Great pop up inside of Izakaya Tora selling different sandos and sides!…read more My bf and I tried every sando!! We preordered at least a day before. Each came in a little box and all except the king katsu sando were cut into thirds. They use super nice yum slightly sweet thicc bread for their sandos. Sandwich fillings were also great ideas and overall tasted amazing, though some I thought needed more salt or pow. You can tell it takes a lot of time to make these sandwiches bc of all the ingredients and parts! Stand out sandos!! -- Menchi Katsu Sando: yummmmm. THE SAUCE!!! Crispy and well seasoned. Our fave of the bunch. 10/10 -- King Katsu Sando: a king fo sho. Katsu was crispy and yum. What made it stand out was the squash mash! You can taste it and I thought it was unique. The ratio of katsu to slaw to pumpkin to bread was good. -- Strawberry Matcha Cream: one of my personal faves. Also I'm on a matcha train rn so.. but it's good! The texture was a dream bc of the soft bread and the thick but still light matcha cream. The slight bitterness of the matcha paired well with the slight sweetness of the bread. The strawberries were super sweet too. It was like eating a cake but not too sweet so was perf. Held up well. I really wanted to try their sides but didn't get to this time. They all sound really really good. I'd come back to try their sides. Overall highly recommend!

Saw ads on Instagram for a BOGO sando deal and decided to give this place a try. It appears to be a…read morepop up place within the Izakaya Tora restaurant. I placed an order to pickup for several sandos to try. I received to call to ask if we could reschedule the pick up for another day because due to volume they could not do orders without at least 24 hours in advance and wanted to make sure quality was the best as possible. I can respect that, so we rescheduled for the next day at 1pm. I arrive the next day at the scheduled time to find out that the restaurant wasn't even open yet, it has a totally different schedule compared to the pop up hours. I waited around for a bit and tried to call but the phone line was constantly just not available. I also tried to message the business via IG too. I was so confused and thought I fell for a scam. I eventually gave up waiting around because I was starving at this point. I called later in the night and someone in the restaurant did finally pick up the phone. I explained the situation and they explained that something with their systems caused this mix up. I requested for a refund or some way to fix this problem, which they agreed to issue and offered to give our order and 1 extra for free to pick up for the next day as an apology for the inconvenience. The next day comes around and I had my partner pick up because I had to work. She received some sandos but to our disbelief we didn't even get the order we originally put in correctly. We received 5 sandos in total, 2 of which were duplicated and the extra was one that wasn't what was in the original order. So we basically only received 3 out of the 4 sandos that were ordered. SJ (the chef or owner? not too sure of actual position) apologized profusely again and offered to give us one of each sando for free to pickup for any other day. I scheduled this for another day and on the day of I receive a message via IG saying that their deep fryer broke, needing to reschedule for tomorrow. At this point, I was so disappointed from all the rescheduling so I wanted to just give up on the order since I had to work. I asked to just make sure my refund was actually issued because I saw that I was charged. They agreed to double check and confirm the issued refund, then offered delivery as a way to make good. I wasn't opposed to a delivery since most of this inconvenience is also needing to drive 30+ minutes away to pickup. I accepted the delivery offer, gave my address and a drop off time. I was left on read and no one ever showed up the next day with anything. I wish I could give 0 stars for this atrocious service, but the one star can be for the sandos I did actually receive. The food was good and the menchi was the favorite. I'm incredibly disappointed by this experience, please don't give customers so many false promises and not follow through.

Plenty of parking in the shopping center, the signage is very prominent so there is no mistaking where you're going. Walking in the front door, you feel like you're home again. Lots of cool artwork on the walls, a very wood-based environment, has a country charm to it with a modern upscale feel. We went there for appetizers as we were on a time crunch, so we ordered the blueberry chicken sliders, the corn ribs, and the blueberry chicken wings. I had heard about these for the longest time, and everyone said they were amazing. Well I'm here to tell you that they 100% are! The corn ribs were wonderful with the cilantro dipping sauce. The only thing that would have made them better is if they would have put some Jalisco cheese on it and made it a little more like street corn. But hey who am I to complain about these corn ribs? I ate them all. The blueberry chicken sliders were absolutely off the charts! I had heard about these several times. People saying things like they are the absolute best to your taste. Buds will be stunned for days. Well, they weren't wrong, these sliders were absolutely wonderful. And we cannot forget the blueberry smoked chicken wings. These things were so well cooked and the seasoning was perfect and the blueberry softs on top took it to a whole other dimension. I would eat probably three or four more plates of these. I'm looking forward to going back there for dinner, as they had plenty of options on the menu. Such as brisket, ribs and so forth. Definitely going back for round two. Bottom line? You cannot go wrong with this place. Do yourself a favor, take some friends, and get all of the aforementioned appetizers. Your taste buds will. Thank you!

This restaurant is a Truffle Themed Restaurant and is only open for Truffle Season that is around November till the end of February. This restaurant offers a limited menu of Antipasti, Pasta, Piatti (entrees) Italian wines, and beer. They offer mostly seating at a small counter and there are a few high top cocktail tables. This restaurant does not take reservations. We arrived extra early for dinner for our best chances of being served. I found out that they were out of one third of the menu and were only two plates away of being out of another plate. We changed up our order and moved on. We started with the Burrata. This was my favorite dish of the evening. It had delicious flavors and textures. The Urbani Truffles went well with this dish. We also shared the Agnolotti Piemontesi (ricotta filled pasta with truffle butter). The pasta was perfection and delicious. I also thought it was a good portion size. For our main we shared the R.R. Ranch Beef Tenderloin with mashed celery root and carrots. This was good but the truffles sort of got lost in this dish. The beef was tender and nicely infused with flavors but missing a needed sear. The people working the counter were nice but we had to ask to get a clean plate for the steak. I'd highly recommend to try the burrata for a nice treat and a truffle pasta is always good. The Urbani Truffles do have a different unique taste compared to other truffles. This was a fun indulgent stop.
