One of my favorite ways to unwind and catch up with friends is over some hookah! I stopped by with…read morea couple of friends on a Wednesday at 6pm, and we grabbed a table right away. There were maybe about 2-3 other parties there but we were all pretty spread out. We ordered the Gang Gang Hookah (~$20) with a Ice Tip Hose (~$5). This flavor includes peach mist, peach queen, and mint. It took about 10 minutes for them to prepare the hookah. I could taste the mint in every puff which honestly is my favorite part of any flavor. The ice tip really enhances the flavor and makes the smoke a lot fuller too! However, despite having a lot of peach in the name, I barely tasted it. The hookah lasted almost 2 hours with a few coal rotations and is average priced compared to other hookah lounges in the area. I like the decor here a lot and the overall vibe is super chill. If you're looking for a hookah lounge in the downtown area, The Palace is a great place to check out!

We kicked off the evening with Jameson shots before diving into the menu. Our group ordered a mix of the corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, while I opted for the corned beef tacos. Every dish was excellent, the corned beef is incredibly tender and literally melts in your mouth. If you want to try it but aren't up for a heavy sandwich and fries, the tacos are a fantastic, flavor-packed alternative that I will definitely order again. The drink selection was equally impressive; the beers were great, and the Irish Mule was delicious. Emma provided outstanding service throughout the night. She was attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and offered excellent menu recommendations. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Next time I'll get photos since I failed on this trip because I was visiting too much. The photos are from a previous visit when I got fish and chips and Shepards pie to go.

I have been a customer at least for the past 3 years and moreover and for the last year I would come by one or twice a week with friends or by myself. I was shocked when I visited this weekend because the prices went up in a crazy way even the regular hookah and customer service were bad unfortunately I asked about one of the smoothies ingredients he didn't understand but as it showed in the picture it looks like strawberry, kiwi and pineapple kind of smoothie whatever I ordered it with my hookah the smoothie came fast but I waited for the hookah 20 minutes which never happened. The smoothie was bad it taste like milk and pudding cream with a bit of strawberry I drink almost half of it because I paid for it I'm not sure if the place has new owner or something but they really need to work on the customer service and someone who's know how to make drinks. I really wish it get better if this review was a month ago I would give it 5 stars.

Cool Spanish tapas spot in Sacramento!!…read more This well-known Spanish restaurant has been a Midtown favorite since 1994. Ambience: relaxed and warm, with live Spanish guitar music. Seating: indoor and outdoor Parking: street parking Restrooms: 2 stalls per gender Food/drink recommendations: * Sangria: refreshing and really good * Filet mignon beef tips * Jamón serrano * Seared ahi * Bread basket Service: fast and efficient.

Another edition of "I have had this place bookmarked for ages and finally got around to trying it"…read more To celebrate my birthday with some girlfriends, we made a reservation at Tapa the World for a Friday night. When we arrived, the restaurant was lively and buzzing with energy. We were promptly seated at our table and began looking over the menu. To start, I ordered a mocktail while my two girlfriends ordered cocktails. We decided that we were just going to order a variety of tapas and share them, which is exactly why I picked this restaurant. All in all, we ended up ordering the croquettes, the garlic shrimp, the empanadas of the day (which were potato and cheese), the patatas bravas, and a pork dish that I don't remember the name. Eat and every dish was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. So if you find yourself in the mood for some tapas and want a wonderful, lively atmosphere, come check out Tapa the World.

Myself and my entire group was removed/denied entry for my medical bag being "out of policy".This…read moreis not simply just a purse or a bag I bring for convenience, it contains all three of my epilepsy medications, including my emergency seizure medication, which I need to have accessible in case of an emergency. I also have documentation and prescriptions for all of my medications. I asked if I can remove all other items in my bag ( lip gloss, chapstick, black gel pen, and hair ties) and they still said no. I then came back WITHOUT my bag and she said I couldn't come in because I was previously denied for my bag or as they say " Since we seen it in the past the policy still stands" I literally had to laugh out loud but then let my 3 friends in with fanny packs & cross body before me? I was in the back of the line and was next after my friends got checked and that's when I was denied entry the second time despite not having my bag or anything besides my phone and Id. Because of my epilepsy, I'm unable to drive, so when I go out I have to rely on public transportation, Lyft, or Uber. That means carrying my medication with me is a necessity, not something I can simply leave in my car. I completely understand that businesses have security policies and restrictions on bags. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't an accommodation. I've been to other Sacramento establishments, including The Depot, Dive Bar, The Merc, and Low Brau, where staff were able to accommodate me while allowing me to keep my bag with my medication with me. The security seem to have a reoccurring issue with customers based on the reviews on both yelp and google so that being my experience as well seems to add up. What makes this especially disappointing is that I was actually really excited to check Faces out, especially because I was looking forward to creating content there. Unfortunately, being denied entry over the medical bag left a very negative impression and completely changed my experience before I even had the opportunity to visit. I hope management considers having a clear policy for medically necessary medication and makes sure staff know how to handle situations like this appropriately. People with medical conditions shouldn't have to choose between carrying essential medication and being able to enjoy an establishment.

Critical me says, "give 4 stars." Why? Because the portion is too generous (lots of meat, big gyro,…read moreplenty of fries), I have a tough time wasting food, I know the fries & gyro will not reheat well, so I gorge. I'd much rather have a smaller portion and save $2. That's just me. Tonight was my first visit. A friendly young lady immediately greeted me when I walked in. Very polite, attentive and soft spoken. It was a breathe of fresh air. Lamb/beef gyro was ready in just over 5 minutes. The dill sour cream type sauce was wonderful and I used it for my fries. The fries were seasoned beautifully. After having fries at another spot nearby, the drive home makes them a little soggy. But they are still de-li-cious! I need a solution to get them home less soggy. Got ideas? I'll definitely return. Thank you wonderful Afghans. Oh, and it seems they offer hookah for anyone interested. And if you are a nonsmoker, but go to join hookah users, just $5.

I've stopped by this place a couple times for some late afternoon drinks, and it's a nice spot…read more It's located in the same building as Ginger Elizabeth, so parking isn't great, but you can find parking within a block or so of walking. There's metered parking in the street just in front. They have a nice selection of wines and cocktails. Not the most expansive list, but a nicely curated one. Most recently, I tried the Pimms Rangoon (Gin, Ro Pimm's, fresh lemon, ginger, pineapple, fizzy water) and a wine that I can't recall. The cheeze whiz (house made whipped manchego and parm on crostini) is a must-have. The bread is wonderful as well as the cheese and olive. I'm usually not crazy about green olives, but it worked so well with the cheese. I've had tinned sardines in the past, and they were fine... along the lines of a tin of Fishwife. Next time, I'll probably try another bread & cheese dish. I like the kitschy vibe. And, our servers were nice both times I've gone. If I lived a little closer, I'd probably drop by more often, but I'll keep this place in mind when I want a drink and a small snack to go with it (and dessert at Ginger Elizabeth is next door!).

Came here for our monthly meet up with the girls and not gonna lie this was a disappointment. I have wanted to try this place for so long and it was mid at best. They didn't have a kitchen when I went so their food offerings were extremely limited which I didn't know before coming. The ambiance was great. While the space was small it packed a great punch. I will say our server disappeared and she was very short when she was unavailable. I came, I saw, it's unlikely I'll return given the many options in Sacramento and the surrounding areas. Go for the experience if you choose On the plus side we ended up at the dive bar Golden Bear after for pizza nachos and beer and I have found my new favorite dive bar so I'll call that a win!
