We decided to come back with friends but on a Wednesday night at 6:30 instead. Sat at a table in the area where the music was but it was very loud and tightly packed with tables and guests. I could barely hear my friends due to the loud conversations, loud laughter, and just the acoustic affects in the restaurant were bad from that. We ordered steak, sides, and thought baked potatoes but got mashed instead. After we ate dinner we asked the manager if we could seat outside for dessert instead due to the loud noises around us. He brought us there but we had to wait at the bar outside till we were seated took an additional 15-20 minutes. After seated it was better than inside with a nice decor too instead. Dessert was ok service good. For such a high-ended restaurant and pricy food it's only avarage, inside decor pretty but very and tightly packed with guests and loud especially for a week day night kind of unusual, I was disappointed think it's a bit overrated sorry to say. I think Flemings, Ruth Chris, or Morton's are better food wise for the same price and dining experience and not as loud too. Think what could make it better is to thin out the crowded packed affect in the main inside dining area would help a lot too, or, if we ever go back sit outside instead I recommend. The service and staff there were very nice, friendly, and attentive and worked hard during service though. So overall raiting is a 3. Tuesday music night inside was good though think because the band is set up where tables of guests would be so less talking and guests listening to the music instead. Hope they make some changes to there inside seating there for improvements will and could help overall.

our family enjoyed an excellent celebratory dinner at casalena…read more EXCITEMENT (NOISE) LEVEL when we booked our reservation for 9 pm on saturday through open table, we did not expect the energy to be so high so late in the evening! the beautiful, expansive restaurant was buzzing with animated conversation that was even louder than a dim sum restaurant! we all needed to lean in a bit to hear one another. PARKING valet is available, but we found street parking on ventura blvd. FOOD 01. squash blossoms ($21 for 5 pc): 8.3/10 these were crispy and light, delightful to eat on their own without the tomato marinara sauce served on the side. casalena's squash blossoms had a strong, lovely hint of lemon that wasn't present in mother wolf's rendition. 02. chicken piccata ($29): 7.5/10 this main was served with a generous helping of potatoes mashed into a delicious velvet. 03. vodka lumaconi ($25): 9/10 this dish was the standout of the evening! the pasta shells were cooked al dente and coated in a slightly spicy, perfectly savory vodka sauce! casalena does not skimp on the sauce in any of their dishes! 04. tagliatelle ($29): 7/10 this pasta dish was not nearly as impressive. 05. tiramisu ($15): 7/10 since we mentioned the dinner was for a special occasion in our reservation, this dessert was served with a candle. while its presentation was lovely, its taste was underwhelming. the espresso was extremely subtle, and there was more madeline than mascarpone/cream. overall, our party of 4 was fully satiated after splitting 1 appetizer, 3 mains, and 1 dessert. service was lovely throughout! and as another yelpie mentioned in their review, their matchbook is very nice.

You can miss the place because you have to go through a narrow alleyway to get to the parking so just be aware of where the place is because I missed it and had to do a uturn. They had the dining setup outside which was very nice and then the banquet hall was the dance floor. The inside of the banquet hall is spacious and you can do a lot of different layout there. The guest list was around 200 people and the place was able to accommodate. They had security guard and the workers here was very nice. I would recommend using the bathroom in the banquet hall because the bathroom near the outside patio area is small. They had a in n out truck to end the night and that's my favorite so it was a win win.

This location used to be the Shoe City store that I had been visiting my entire life. Now, it has…read moretransformed into a mini entertainment center featuring an arcade, bumper cars, and a skating rink. The arcade is relatively small, but the bumper car area is quite spacious and doubles as a skating rink after 8 PM until closing, which only allows for about two hours of skating. The pricing is reasonable overall, though the skating entrance fee feels a bit steep. Arcade games are fairly priced, and the bumper car sessions offer good value. There's a dedicated seating area, but the snack bar is currently limited to just chips. Hopefully, they'll expand the menu in the future. In the meantime, it seems like bringing your own food is an option. The hallway leading to the restrooms is well-designed, and the bathrooms themselves are impressively high-tech, with some featuring two sinks on opposite sides, an interesting touch. I haven't visited with my kids yet, but it looks like we'll be making a trip soon. The real test will be whether they enjoy it. On a positive note, there's plenty of parking available on the side. Since it's only been open for about a week, it's worth giving it some time to develop.

If you need something done, David is the person to go to--he makes things happen, every single time. From birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers and corporate events, Allure has done it all for me, and the food is always the highlight of the night. Guests rave about it long after each event ends! So when it came time to plan my wedding, there was no one else I'd trust with such an important day--and they did not disappoint. Every detail was flawlessly handled, and my guests never had to wait a moment to be served. The servers--Artur, Kevin, and Vazgen--were amazing, attentive, and made everyone feel like VIPs. They have an incredible range of food options, and everything is always top-notch. As a bride, I felt completely taken care of. David was there, overseeing everything and making sure the event flowed perfectly. Choosing Allure's catering was one of the best decisions I made, and I'll continue to choose them for future events. I know I can rely on them completely, and I couldn't be happier with their work!
