    Packed house
    Mike M.

    The valley is in need of a decent club, especially since City Walk has lost its nightlife appeal. This opens up an opportunity for someone to step in, but for now, we have to make do with what's available. Rain is one of the few remaining options in the valley, and while the competition isn't strong--Elevation in Van Nuys isn't really a contender, and Club Cobra serves a different crowd--Rain does the job. That said, Rain isn't the best club either. If you're in the valley and want something local, it's a decent choice. The venue is spacious, with good music on Saturdays, usually featuring popular hits. If you're just looking to dance and enjoy drinks with friends, it's perfectly fine. However, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone coming from outside the valley; it doesn't match the vibrant party scenes found in LA or other cities, but it fulfills the basic clubbing need. To make the most of your experience, I suggest getting on the guest list and arriving before 10:30 PM for free entry--it's $10 after that, but who doesn't like free? You can relax with a drink until the crowd starts to arrive around 11. Drink prices are standard, around $15, but they have a limited selection of beers, mainly traditional Mexican ones. If you're into craft beers or IPAs, you won't find them here. Overall, is it the best club? Not really, but it's a good option when you want to stay local and don't want to travel far. Until something better comes along, it serves its purpose. We had a good time there.

    Guest service from Alexa the terrible guest entry agent who is above the law from California law she refuses to provide receipt upon entry this leads me to believe that they are misrepresenting the amount of cash that comes in through the business and embezzling funds. They cannot provide records of any finance transactions I wouldn't be surprised if they did some other funny business. I would not return and not recommend to any LGBTQ+ community.

    Went for the first time recently for someone's birthday. Everyone in our group were salsa dancers. Our whole group loved the vibe, most in my group are regulars for their bachata/salsa nights. I don't know if it was the night or what, but there was a good amount of people there but not so many that it was packed and difficult to dance which I appreciated. Charlie, the MC/host of the night who also normally DJs was great!! The night we attended, there was a live a band so that was also great. Bartenders were easy to grab, they made drinks fast and not a long line for the bathroom, ladies! It may have been my first time there but I'll definitely be going back again for future Thursdays!

    We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and we had a blast. The music was so good and we danced all night! Bottle service girl was very attentive and friendly. They took great care of us! Thank you so much for such a fun night!

    Music was an odd mix, more latin reggaton. But some hip hop and edm. But mostly do not park in that garage next door. It closes at 12. Most people will miss the sign as told by the parking attendant. When there are obviously places around that are open later than that.

My wife and my sister got the filet migons, watching my wife's euphoric reaction of taking her fist bite made my evening! Omg...thankfully, my wife let me try garlic fries that came with the filets, and they were the best I ever had! I got the Langostino Fettuccine...outstanding. You have to dig a little spicy, which I do...but the vodka cream sauce is the real highlight of this dish. For deserts we got the apple cobbler, the creme brulee and sticky toffee cake. All three were fantastic. But I preferred the cobbler and the toffee cake the most. We didn't get the Le Petit Gateau, their chocolate cake...but we decided to get one to go! HA...it's unbelievably rich and pretty tall and big. It's topped with candied wild cheries...it's two days later and we're still eating this yummy treat. All in all...I would recommend this for any occasion...wether you're looking for just a night out with solid service and great food, to a romantic evening. We got there around 6...but later on there was live music with these two gentlemen on guitars that really played perfect atmosphere music. You can't go wrong with a night out at Firefly!

We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

Cocktails were visually appealing and offered just the right combination of flavor and punch. My wife's Penne A La Vodka struck a good balance between acid and cream, and nicely supported the traditional meatball that she added for the sake of protein. I opted for the antipasto as an entree, and it wound up being more than I could finish. A satisfying selection of meats, cheeses, veggies and grilled bread that was the perfect vessel for this plateful of "tapas." An added side of garlic bread was visually appealing, but made with very assertive sourdough, which I personally don't enjoy. In the end, the menu remains broadly Italian and satisfyingly flavorful. The cocktails are nimbly prepared, and this remains a terrific place to eat.
