Absolute Perfection! The Ultimate Venue for Our Wedding Welcome Event!…read more We hosted our son and daughter-in-laws welcome event at The Lounge, and it was incredible from start to finish. If you want to host an event that your guests will rave about, this is the place. First and foremost, the event manager, Jenn, was spectacular. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly communicative, attentive, and helpful, making the entire planning process completely stress-free. She ensured every single detail was executed flawlessly. The venue itself is stunning, a truly beautiful setting with a fantastic ambiance that set the perfect mood for our celebration. The live music was spot-on and kept the energy alive all night long. The food and drinks were a massive hit. The food was absolutely delicious, and the craft cocktails were hands-down some of the best we've ever had. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them! To top it all off, the service was top-tier. The bartenders were not only highly skilled and fast, but they were also so much fun and brought such a great energy to the night. Thank you, Jenn, and the entire team at The Lounge, for making our welcome event unforgettable. We will absolutely be back! Highly, highly recommend!

First were local residents of Auburn but curious about this restaurant everything we drive by…read more Outside the building and signage is very swanky looking. We had a seminar presentation here so we were interested in trying out this place/ it didn't disappoint and was very impressed. A very beautiful artsy establishment to sit and savor a meal. The bartender was very accommodating and nice as my husband and I arrived and sat downstairs in their cozy bar. Then we had a lovely dinner. I had the cedar planked salmon with broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes and my husband had the wood fire steak with sauce- sort I couldn't remember what kind of sauce that accompanied the plate but it was delicious. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and was devoured. I would definitely come back. The outside courtyard area have comfy seating, heat lamps and a live band was playing. So serene! We were in a hurry to get back home so unfortunately didn't stay for the music. This sounds like such in a lovely place to hang out, eat and have cocktails!

So we took my Mom to Oakhouse to celebrate her birthday. Note while it is a big building, the…read morerestaurant itself is quite small so strongly recommend reservations. The vibe of the place is very cool. Entrance and bar had a darker almost speakeasy atmosphere where the main tables in back had a brighter, sunnier look. We sat in the middle, a booth the staff called the "fish bowl" where you can see everything going on. I loved it! Mom probably would go quieter since you are in the action! Note for next time. Okay service - on a scale of 1-10, service was a Spinal Tap 11. Toby made my mom a surprise mocktail creation which I stole a taste - delicious! Carmela took fantastic care of us. I am a food nerd so from the fishbowl, you can clearly see this is an excellently run restaurant. On leaving they not only boxed our leftovers but bagged and organized Mom's separate from ours. It was literally some of the best service I have ever had in a restaurant and I've eaten out a lot all over the world. Okay now for the food. I really like the menu but you want to go here to experience the starters. My wife had the beef carpaccio and I had the tuna poke tostones. Unbelievable. Tostones? Get out! The rest of the starters offer a variety of treats we will need to order in the future. My wife and I had the ribeye, Mom had the steak frites. All the steaks were nicely cooked. The ribeyes came w a foggy dew mushroom espagnole which I enjoyed, my wife less so. It is on the sweet side so let that be your guide. Grilled broccolini perfect. The butternut squash risotto wasn't my favorite but there is a lot going on w the ribeye dish. Mom had fries w her steak frites and they were a perfect crispy. Because it was Mom's birthday they provided us complementary individual cheesecakes - perfect size, wonderfully delicious and they should put that on the dessert menu to share. My problem w dessert (and the menu looked fantastic) is that it looks and sounds daunting after a complete meal. But they know how to dessert. It was a memorable experience of great food, nice ambiance and phenomenal service.

These are what I would describe as small soft street tacos with enough meat to easily fill a larger tortilla. Sides like sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese are 50-cents for each portion cup. There's enough in each side cup to cover 2-3 tacos. Service was outstanding throughout our visit!

Nicole was wonderful--friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She was on top of our service while recommending menu items and intuitive of the mood. She was a true joy. My husband and I ordered mushroom ravioli and fettuccine alfredo. The sauce is rich and flavorful--guaranteed to send us both happily into food comas this evening. Even though this is a sport's bar, the atmosphere was on the moderately quiet side. There were plenty of couples, and the windows provide an open, airy space with additional seating in the back behind the bar. The menu is very reasonably priced (especially by California standards), and I was very impressed with the level of service.

This restaurant offers a dining experience defined by a stark contrast between exceptional culinary…read moreexecution and disappointing operational flaws. Structurally, the venue presents an appealing, clean, and rustic aesthetic, yet this positive first impression is quickly undercut by a lack of basic hygiene. Specifically, flies were buzzing around the bathroom area during my visit. This failure in basic maintenance sets a concerning tone about the establishment's attention to detail, a gap that unfortunately extends directly into the front-of-house service operations. While the physical environment has its ups and downs, the service follows a similarly frustrating trajectory. The staff starts strong, providing good service right up until the food is delivered to the table. However, once the plates land, the waitstaff becomes entirely inattentive and detached overall. This post-delivery abandonment leaves me feeling neglected throughout the remainder of the meal, as routine check-ins and simple beverage refills are completely overlooked, heavily hindering what should have been a seamless evening. Fortunately, the kitchen crew operates at a much higher standard, delivering standout dishes that showcase genuine culinary talent. The Fettuccine Alaska is an absolute triumph, featuring a rich, velvety vodka cream sauce tossed with handmade fettuccine noodles that are wonderfully flavorful and buttery soft. The dish is elevated by smoked salmon that carries just the right amount of smoky depth without overpowering the plate. To finish the meal, the Tiramisu delivers excellent traditional flavors and a beautifully creamy texture, proving the food itself holds up to the social media hype. Regrettably, the stellar flavors are ultimately spoiled at the conclusion of the evening by predatory financial practices. The restaurant tacks on a surprise junk fee simply for the use of a credit card, which is advertised in such small font on the menu that it's hard if not impossible to notice. Still, this abuse of the customer. The bottom line is that the establishment serves very good food, but the overall experience is severely dragged down by inattentive service, bathroom cleanliness issues, and unnecessary fees.

Seating is at tables & booths. There are big windows that open garage door-style that let in a lot of light. Multiple TVs played sports. You could easily have very large groups here. We ordered from their lunch specials menu to get slice & drink combos. We got 3 slices of Pepperoni & 1 Caboose. We got an apple juice for the kiddo's drink, which came in a lidded cup. The food was good--crust was soft, the sauce mild & tasty, toppings were flavorful. However, the pepperoni count was drastically inconsistent with one slice having more than double the amount of another. Our server was pleasant, answered our questions, left us with ample napkins, & checked in on us. It all made for an easy, quick, & satisfying meal that was comfortable.
