Not sure what to think of this place yet but looks great so far. According to the coordinator, theres rooms to rent, affordable classes to take and free kids programs. More info on their website. Cafe inside as you walk in and a front desk to the right. Drinks, coffee and some desserts. Three lounge benches to wait, rest while enjoying your order. Concrete tables in back with view of middle school's basketball courts and track. Limited parking out front. Will try their cafe next time. Come support this local facility.

I went to the Bayview Eagles performance space, adjacent to the bar for a fabulous Cajun/Zydeco…read moreperformance by a new friend of mine, Andrew Carriere and his group of extremely talented musicians. He comes from a storied Louisiana family of Cajun and Zydeco musicians. He is versatile, sings, plays the triangle, the harmonica and the washboard. and in my little experience of watching him play with various groups, he lets everyone shine. His band's music was made for dancing and I have two left or right feet. The regular fans know what they are coming for - to dance. One of these days I'll earn without upsetting a partner. But then someone has to pay the price for teaching a newbie. A great place to visit for affordable beer and some wine. If Andre performs there, I'll be prepped to dance :)

**American Canyon Location**…read more Ambiance is okay, could use some updates in a few areas. Such as the curtains & carpet. The bathroom was very clean & smelled nice. The service was excellent, prompt, delicious and hot which was a plus. Overall, it's a very nice restaurant in American Canyon and definitely worth trying. I personally loved their eggplant parmigiana & the la strada pasta. Also, Monica was a pleasure to work with at the American Canyon location. If you are planning an event, she's very helpful with menu options, pricing & going over event space, very easy to work with & very patient & professional. Highly recommend giving this place a try if ever you are in the area.

We are so happy that we chose Richmond Country club for our wedding and reception venue. From start to finish Amanda was there coordinating everything down to the smallest detail. Victor, the head chef ensured our naked wedding cake was beautiful with all the trimmings that we could have ever asked for. Our family style Asian fusion cuisine was top notch and our guests said that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding they have gone to. The chicken and salmon with jasmine rice were to die for after our guests were already blown away by the array of appetizers and salads. Our bartender was very sweet and had a great sense of humor and we could not have asked for a better setting to have our special day. They will definitely be our first pick the next time we have a large family gathering.

I was invited for a round of golf by my cousin and her husband who are members. I had never heard…read moreof the Richmond Country Club, but it is a members only course. It's been about 8 years since I played regularly, so I am trying to get myself out there and take advantage of the summer, exercise and friendly competition. I arrived early for our late morning tee off, so I found myself at the bar celebrating a pre-birthday mimosa while getting my game face ready. The place was somewhat empty that morning, but the golf course was a steady flow of players. Without a drivable cart, we were lagging behind others who had one and were better - so we tried to hurry up and let others play through to catch up. Overall everyone was nice and the timing worked out. After 9 holes, there's a snack shack with sandwiches, hot dogs, ice cold beer and beverages. It's like the reward you've been waiting for. I had a nice cold Lagunitas IPA and hung out with my family enjoying the scenery. I had a blast at Richmond Country Club and look forward to going back again after a few more rounds of practice.

Ok so you have seen a few reviews that talk about alcohol... if your goal is to come and drink…read more This is not the venue for you. This is a BALLROOM studio, where you learn and practice ballroom dancing. Think of ballet studio or jazz or hip hop, you would not expect those studios to have alcohol. This studio is probably the best in the Bay Area for ballroom dancing. Excellent teachers and instructors. I have taken both beginner, intermediate, series, and bronze level classes. I have some dancing experience but my partner doesn't, so he is now able (after 4 classes) do the basic steps for Viennese Waltz. This studio hosts events, which is fun but again it won't have alcohol. This studio emphasizes on ALL levels and welcomes ALL. You can always ask the staff questions before attending a class to see which level you fit into. The area is safe but it is an urban area, so please stop putting 1 star reviews bc your stuff got stolen from your car. It's not relevant to this studio. It's not their responsibility ... stop being dramatic. I don't work for Allegro and don't get compensated in any way by them. I just find it annoying that people post 1 star reviews for the heck of it. This is an excellent place to learn ballroom dancing and compete. If you are new or advanced, you will find an appropriate level for you!

Pay more and go elsewhere.

You know that nightmare when your home's water heater blows up?!…read more And that's how we ended up coming through here since it was gonna be a couple of days before that gets fixed. I booked my reservations via Expedia. Luckily, there were a few rooms available even on a last-minute/emergency basis. Checked in on an early evening and the host wasn't all that friendly or open. I didn't really care much about it, I just wanted to get in the room and take a shower. The check-in process was swift, so that was cool. I was also told that continental breakfast is available from 6-930am. From what I observed, room is clean. Like, sanitized clean. No hint of any musk or odd smells. I inquired if they had a bar or the kitchen open and was told they weren't. (Understood - pandemic and all) so I was forced to go out to get some grub. On my way back in, I asked the same host if I could have some utensils. He was a bit more interactive this time around and gave me a couple of sealed sets. He even managed to crack a sincere smile. (He should smile more often, he looks more welcoming, not to mention he looks good!) Nothing special with their continental breakfast but grateful nonetheless. I did a check out with a whole different set of staff and they, too, were pretty nice and friendly. Good stay overall. Should I have any other home emergencies like I did on this run, this will be my go-to.

There's a sitting area as well so makes the room pretty spacious. For the bathroom, different layout than most Courtyards where the sink area is outside the bathroom it works although the counter space was quite limited. A big plus especially for this area is free parking and definitely lots of it. It's located more in Richmond than Berkeley but I liked that it was located near the freeway but not that close where you could hear the traffic. Unfortunately there weren't stores or restaurants with walking distance but they do have a bistro that serves breakfast and dinner and also a bar. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Abhorrent communication that led me to feeling unsafe. I am not sure if they are running scams but…read moreI was asked to put myself in financidal risk to receive a booking that was paid for already by my company. Leslie, front desk employee, informed me that my 3-month reservation had been canceled upon my arrival to check in on 10/25/26. No attempts were made to inform me before my reservation was canceled. I was informed that they would need to charge me $4500 for incidentals in order for me to check in. I asked to shorten my stay to 2 days because this sounded fishy and I had no place else to go. They charge $100 for incidentals instead. After checking in I noticed that the wifi was not working, I received messages on my computer to contact the front desk. Leslie said she rebooted the wifi router, however the wifi did not work still. I was told that there was nothing else she could do, there was no attempt to ameliorate this after that discussion. The next day, a housekeeper told me that I was due to check out. I discussed staying until the end of the week. I explained my concern about the ridiculous amount requested for incidentals. He extended my stay and explained I would need to place a hold on my card for $350 for incidentals. I asked if there could be a waiver. He asked if I could place a $200 or $250 hold on my card instead. I said no. He then asked the manager Jennifer Gee to join the conversation. She said that due to policy they would need to charge $350 to extend my visit to the end of the week. I asked why I was offered 4 different incidental charges by 3 different people. She said the policy is 50 dollars a day for 7 days. This still doesn't make sense as I would only be extending my reservation by 3-4 days but they were asking to hold a new charge of $350. I asked her how the front desk staff was planning on decreasing the incidental rate to 250 instead of 350, her response was, "I don't know." I expressed my concern about these interactions, and she said she would make sure that her staff are re-trained. I asked to extend my stay just until the following day because I had no place to go immediately, I asked to check out on 10/27. To my surprise there was no additional $50 per day incidental charge to do so, which again is further evidence of poor communication. Josh explained there was no additional charge because I already was charged $100. Therefore, I was charged $100 for incidentals for a 2 day stay, when my original reservation was only re-instated and changed to a 1 day stay without my knowledge.
