    Sauvignon Blanc to start
    Stacy H.

    We love this restaurant. The service is always spot on and the food does not disappoint. For dinner tonight we tried the stuffed portobello mushrooms, crab cakes, calamari and Cesar salad: the stars of the show were the portobellos and calamari. Absolutely delicious. The calamari was super light and crispy and the pork sausage in the stuffed portobellos was awesome. We will be back!

We made reservations and we ordered the Pre fix Prime rib and Salmon, it was so delicious specially the salmon,Tiffany was our waiter,she is so sweet and helpful with suggesting wines. Over all a great experience and its worth the drive

    Ambiance awesome, Service awesome ....Regarding the food, Bar Meets Grill is excessively overpriced. While we don't object to the price point, the portions have shrunk dramatically. For instance, a 6oz fillet costs over $100 and comes with only one carrot, four green beans, and a small portion of mashed potatoes. The food quality and portion sizes need significant improvement.

    Kellen our server was sooo amazing giving me and my dad a great experience kept up on checking on us and the food came out on time even with the complementary bread for the wait of the steaks. Food came perfectly cooked and drinks were topped off when needed. In conclusion we were given two desserts for me and my dad's birthday. Soooo delicious all in all and will be coming back!!!

    Had the Prime Rib Dinner. Not bad at all. But you know what sold me? The service. Reed was amazing. I never had to ask for a water refill. He timed the food perfectly. He was so attentive and made the experience memorable. When I get superb service, I like to acknowledge it. Great job!!

    Linguini and clams
    Lacy D.

    My husband and I had dinner here last month. We had a meatball appetizer, lamb chops, and linguine with clams. Everything tasted pretty good, but I think I had slightly higher expectations with it being the "upscale" restaurant in the casino. That's ok though, that's on me. Our server was nice and he was transparent that they were short-staffed, so we didn't mind that service was on the slower side. It was a bit dark inside, but big and open. The only thing that I struggled with was the cigarette smoke smell. This restaurant was technically on the non-smoking side of the casino, but the scent really traveled. I had to wash everything when I got home because I'm super sensitive to smoke. We wouldn't go back because of that smell, which I didn't know about beforehand. I assumed all casinos were smoke-free which isn't the case!

    Flourless chocolate cake

    My fiancé and I had dinner yesterday at Bar Meets Grill and it knocked our socks off We shared a half dozen oysters to start as well as a Fallbrook Syrah wine- both were great! He ordered Chilean sea bass that came with purple sweet potato, green beans, avocado and mango- he loved it. I ordered the Prime rib 3 course meal (Cesar salad, prime rib with potato and green bean, and this amazing flourless chocolate cake for dessert). The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was beautiful. We will be back again. FYI- my fiancé is gluten free and it was no problem If I could change anything, I'd add more than three green beans and a spoonful of potato to the main dish- with these big prices, sure would like sides with it.

    Special of the night Halibut

    The food was delicious, bread service, lobster bisque and sea bass were the highlights !

    What a great experience. I had a reservation for just myself and I was seated promptly. I was near the open concept kitchen. Ashley my server was knowledgeable and gave me a great wine selection. I had French onion soup which was delicious. (It's one of my favorites and I'm picky) then I was coursed out with a boneless ribeye steak cooked perfect medium rare, Brussels sprouts and sautéed shrimp . (I forgot the pic of shrimp) this meal was delicious and hit the spot. I finished out with dessert that was just the right size to end the night. I would definitely be back to keep exploring the menu.

The selection is extensive, with plenty of varietals to work through, and the staff is warm and attentive without being overbearing. Located just off Front Street and tucked toward the back of Old Town, it has a naturally intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date night or a low-key evening out. We haven't tried the food menu yet, but we're already looking forward to going back. If you want a great wine experience without driving out to the wineries, Humble Somm is exactly the answer.

Tucked away off the main road, this place feels quiet, intimate, and incredibly charming, with dark walls, candlelight, and wine bottles lining the walls.

We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Crab Dip with a delicious house baguette ($19) and the Pepperoni Focaccia Slab ($17), and everything was fantastic. The ambiance, the food, the wine--it all came together perfectly. The gray sky at sunset somehow made the whole experience feel even more atmospheric and intimate.

We've spent hours on the phone with both our bank and the casino, with no meaningful resolution other than having to cancel our credit cards ourselves to prevent the charges from going through. We are extremely disappointed. Our family has been coming to Pala for more than 25 years, and it's upsetting to experience these issues. If these unauthorized charges are happening to other patrons as well, that is very concerning. What a shame to see a place we've enjoyed for so many years leave us feeling this way.

From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night.

It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--
