    We were pleasantly surprised by how well prepared their wings were during the $1 Wing Wednesday…read moredeal! Super crispy skin, without having to ask for 'extra crispy' or 'fried hard'. We got half Cajun dry rub, half gochujang sauce - both flavors were great. We both ordered entrees from the specials menu - the spicy chicken rigatoni was *actually* spicy and flavorful, and the fiesta chicken salad was fresh and crisp. The drinks were also strong & tasty. Prior to this dinner visit, I've been here once before, sitting at the bar for lunch - I had a house salad with chicken - also great! The atmosphere is cool and somewhat sporty, but still feels like a standard sit-down restaurant. The service is great around lunch/early dinner time, but can become a little laggy once the place starts to fill up and get busy.

    My mom and I stopped by Gabriele's for dinner and had a pretty good experience overall, with a few…read morethings that could definitely be improved. To start, we ordered the Loaded Bacon Potato Soup and the French Onion Soup. My loaded potato soup was rich, creamy, and full of flavor--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For our entrées, I ordered the Short Rib Grilled Cheese with a side of Cajun Curly Fries, and my mom had the burger. To drink, I had the Hawaiian Martini, and my mom ordered a beer. The Hawaiian Martini was delicious and easily my favorite part of the meal. The biggest downside was the service. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it felt understaffed. We ended up being helped by a second server partway through our meal, and the overall service was slower than expected. My mom also wasn't happy with the temperature of her food, which took away from her experience. Overall, the food and drinks were enjoyable--especially the soup and the Hawaiian Martini--but the inconsistent service and food temperature issues kept it from being a perfect visit.

    This is probably the only place where we can get a decent karaoke night that's close to me. The…read moreprices are not bad. The rooms are spacious, but the A/C can get really uncomfortabley cold. They use individual A/C units per room, but they don't leave the controllers for the customer to use. You'll have to ask the staff to come in and adjust it for you. It shouldn't be a big deal, but they don't get it to what you want. They'll either adjust it to be too cold or they shut it off, altogether. Could be a language barrier. It's BYOB and Food. We came prepared. The song selection is decent. They have a good mix of modern and old songs. Not enough Filipino music, though. The sound system is still good, but the controller to input the songs can be tricky. Also, some song listed in their booklets may no longer exist in the system. We've experienced it quite a number of times. We still enjoyed our time there. And we are most likely to return, especially since we don't know any other karaoke joints in my area.

    The girls and I got together for a night of karaoke. It was $15 per person plus tax. When I arrived…read moreI had such trouble finding the place. Luckily one of the girls helped me. It is located in the same plaza of the spa and the sign isn't lit up. We walked in and the man walked us to our room. We ordered the larger room thinking more people would show but it ended up being 8 of us. The man that worked there wanted to only give us an hour but one of the girls talked to him to extend it to 2. The room was so cold and we asked if they could turn on the heat and he said "no heat." So we had to freeze until we moved around a bit. The catalog was kind of small in their book but we were able to still make due with what they had. It was an ok time that I had.

    Chill during early hours but gets louder during late hours. The hookah and the service is pretty…read moregood. Door opening in the front makes it sooooo cold lol. But there are two different rooms. Try to get a seat in the other room. I tried the pina colada in a grapefruit head (I wanted to try it with the pineapple head) it was delicious. The kitchen isn't usually open early. But when it is they have a nice menu. The lamb skewer is good too. I making this a regular place to do work and study

    Been coming here for years now for hookah as I was not aware of other lounges in the area, but my…read morelast experience topped the cake with bad service. CONS: 1. Mediocre, dirty atmosphere. Stained/ripped couches. Could use a redesign for lounge appeal. 2. Service is nice but extremely slow and inattentive. Last visit this month... had to wait 30 mins to get seated, took 30 mins to even get menus (another table called someone over to get us one), and once we ordered we did not receive our hookah for another 30 mins after me having to specifically ask a worker why it was taking so long. The place had cleared out by that point. 3. They used to play club music which gave it a fun nightlife vibe, but in recent times they play it extremely low where it is barely heard. Smoking hookah in silence pretty much. PRO: 4. The food. Menu I have to say is large, fairly priced, and the middle eastern cuisine is actually quite tasty/authentic -- i.e. falafel, lamb, hummus, etc. 5. Interesting variety of hookah. You could try this spot out; it's ok and gets the job done. However, I'm sure there are way cooler places to spend a night.
