Just an overall bland dish. Flatbread was just a pizza cut in half and sliced, was hoping something would be a tad elevated in flavor. Hostess was initially unwelcoming asking "can I help you?", instead of assuming a couple walking into a restaurant would be seeking food. No further problems once seated but if you're going to be bitchy at least back it up with good food

At the bar I sampled some of the Monkey Face brand gin, rum, Brandy, and whiskey. Also, I had the monkey bites which is flat bread pizza like snacks. All told it was a very nice time. I tried a fancy spring mixed cocktail too. Very refreshing

Update: Almendra has now become a steakhouse. We decided…read moreto give it another chance and we're glad we did! VERY pleasantly surprised. The food is much better than before. We arrived too early for the steak dinners, but we were able to enjoy really DELICIOUS burgers. The service was good as well. Prices are very high though and that's unfortunate. We'd love to have Almendra be one of our regular lunch/dinner spots, but it's way too expensive for that.

We met the three girls and kitchen crew back in Dec of 2013 for our tasting for the wedding. I know…read moresome people wonder why they charge for the tasting but your getting a 4 course meal with wine... for pretty cheap... I want to say around 25$ per person but my memory is a blur after my wedding :) The tasting was awesome and fun so we picked them to cater and I am so happy we did. Over the next ten months they were on time with emails, text messages, phone calls all of it. They were fun to work with. We had our wedding at my moms house and Dani and Jennine came up 2 or 3 times before the wedding to get a feel for where everything should go, how it will all work. They always had really great ideas. The day of our wedding I really didnt feel like I needed to do a thing. The staff was really professional, and very sweet. Dani and Jennine really did a beautiful job with the table settings, all of it. The compliment I have heard the most from all my guests is "your wedding was so well organized" Which for a bride is such a wonderful thing to hear. A year of planning and their hard work and great communication with our DJ the day of was just perfect. The food was awesome. The CHICKEN.. soooo delish! and Mac and Cheese for the kids was awesome! (Digged into that the day after for my hangover..) mashed potatoes amazing! Their bartender was soo sweet I think we tried to get him to stay and party when he was done.. but he was professional too. I would 100% tell anyone to have them for your special day or any event! Thank you ladies you truly help give me a the day of my dreams ONE VERY happy bride!

One of the best places in Chico to grab a drink and avoid the college crowd. I know, I know, its a…read morecollege town, don't gripe about the college kids... but holy hell its nice to hang out with the grown ups sometimes! A couple of tips for the newbie adult headed to this VIP lounge: 1) Make sure to get your booty up there prior to 9pm (after 9pm there is a $10 cover charge) 2) $10 isn't going to break the bank, I get it however, it IS a key bit of info so take it for what its worth. (Its worth ten bucks, ha!) Make sure that if you should arrive before 9, like for happy hour, and stay after 9, that your given a wrist band so you can wander from floor to floor without having to pay the entry fee 3) If you get there prior to 9pm and have a person or people you actually want to speak (and not yell at) the music is at a normal level so carrying a conversation is tres easy. Beware, after 9pm they PUMP up the volume so be prepared to yell your conversation after that time frame kicks in 4) And speaking of 'tres' this bar is tres chic, there is a ton of cozy seating, you can go find a booth which is semi private or go more public and choose a table out in the open (along with more cozy seats) 5) They have an 'L' shaped pool table, very weird but very cool and ultra different. I've never seen one quite like it anywhere else 6) The martini selection is pretty tasty (see my pix) and the prices are right up my alley (marginally priced and well worth it) 7) The absolute BEST part of my experience here at the VIP Ultra Lounge was Stephanie. The adorable, extra friendly bartender/waitress, literally, the best little thing located upstairs. Her personality ROCKED. She gave me mini tour and being that it was my first time here, while she toured, she explained all the bars (total of 4), their highlights and best times to have fun at each of them. Seriously treated me in TOTAL VIP fashion, what a gem!! The cool thing about this bar is that its connected to 3 other totally different (un-VIP, just made up that word) bars. So... if you get tired of being a snobby VIP, you can take your wasty face downstairs and kick it with the college kids. Good thing #8... if your walking sideways and acting like a drunk monkey, you'll blend right in :) Dance, scratch your butt, do a shot then fall on the floor, hey! Have a good time!

Once you are past the cheapest drinks you can buy phase of Chico life, come up to VIP Ultra Lounge. Check 'em out during happy hour to scout if you like it without paying a cover. I enjoyed my melon mojito- with none of the stickiness or smell associated with most the venues in Chico. I get that Chico isn't used to paying much of a cover charge at all, but I'd rather pay a cover and go somewhere gorgeous, comfortable & clean. I used to love the Bear & LaSalles, but you go there after a few drinks because otherwise you'd never get past the smell and in the door. You can smell them from outside. Yuck. Other than harping on the fantasticness of a clean place- my husband has enjoyed his drinks there as well, we've had tacos and a steak/gorganzola pizza during happy hour- all good stuff. And that explains why I'm headed there in 40 minutes to celebrate the end of my work week!
