Crystal R.

Such a vibe! This chic little speak easy with a tap tap tap on a banana was everything. The drinks were delicious, beautiful, and fun! Everyone that works here really cares about the place and was incredibly attentive. The music was also so on point - a great mix... made me want to stay and hang out to my fave jams. It was so convenient and fun to pop in here while staying at the very artsy and fun Hotel Zazz! Highly recommend. And the following morning I came in here for coffee and it was such a delight! So much craft and care put into it all. Definitely stop by here for drinks coffee vibes and of course all the very instagramable spots ! You can check out my Instagram this week for a full reel of this place (was a big fan of my whole experience here the hotel the bar and the spa!) @crystalrosereynolds

Zéma Vinyl Lounge (Inside Hotel Zazz) Absolutely loved this hidden speakeasy! Located inside Hotel Zazz, Zéma Vinyl Lounge feels like a secret. To enter, you tap a banana sculpture three times in the hotel lobby and a hidden door opens -- such a fun and unique way to start the night. Inside, the vibe is intimate and stylish, with high-end vintage audio gear Macintosh receivers and vinyl playing moody lighting, and a super clean art deco-inspired restroom. The bartender was friendly, the drink I ordered was fantastic, and the whole experience felt like stepping into a curated piece of the past. It's cozy, creative, and executed with care. Hotel Zazz (Same Property) Unfortunately, the hotel experience didn't live up to the lounge. The room had issues: the fridge didn't work, the sink was clogged with hair and candy, and I had to unclog it myself. Cleanliness was below even basic motel standards -- not what I expected given the boutique vibe they're going for. The staff were polite but clearly not trained properly, especially around handling payments. When I checked in, they charged me $12.92 for parking. At checkout, a different staff member realized the lot was empty and tried to refund it, saying I shouldn't have been charged at all -- but instead, they charged me again. Now I've been charged twice, and despite calling twice and leaving messages, no manager has returned my call. It's a shame -- the hotel has so much creative potential, but it's not being managed properly. Zéma Vinyl Lounge: 5 stars. Hotel Zazz: 1 stars. Needs serious attention to staff training, guest communication, and basic cleanliness.

I have lived at the Fairwinds many years now. I first moved here with my husband and we lived in a…read morevery comfortable Independent Living Apartment. I was immediately impressed by the staff. you couldn't ask for better care and warmth. we participated in any activities that were offered and made new and lasting friendships along the way. thru those years there were difficult times. I guess the most difficult was the pandemic when we were limited to movement within the building but you would be amazed attn lengths the staff went to to keep us happy. delicious meals were delivered to our door ( we ordered from our menu's ). Games were played at each door if you wanted to participate and there were fun prizes. The weekly wine socials were brought to your door. Meanwhile, all the necessary health precautions were taken. The apartments were thoroughly cleaned weekly. When necessary, immunization clinics were brought to each resident and if you wanted to participate, they made it easy. Eventually that passed and life got back to normal but it's hard not to recognize the professional handling of that difficult time. The building was renovated and mad lovely for us. If anything needed to be updated, it was life moved along smoothly and I must admit, to my surprise. There were many staff changes but amazingly, the staff remained warm and caring. Deep down, I can forget that they are dealing with many different personalities and sometimes elderly people can be a tad grumpy. The loving staff simply overlooks the bad days. Food is always an issue but the menu is large with choices for everyone. If that isn't enough, there's a really great Bistro you don't want to mis. The activities are numerous and year round. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and outings take place twice a week. All you have to do is signup. I can't close this without mentioning that my husband passed away in 2022. it was a difficult time made easier by the Fairwinds staff and especially the management. Being100% deaf and disabled, my family wanted me to move to assisted living despite my reluctance. Doralei warmly helped me make that decision to move and very graciously helped me find a comfortable apartment. The move was smooth and the golden treatment given by the health and Wellness staff has been perfect so I have to admit that it was the proper move. When I need appointments, the transportation service is wonderful and I can't forget to mention the wonderful drivers. Do you see how fortunate I furl that all those years ago, we made the decision to move here it was the perfect one. You can't go wrong.

Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

Had the jungle bird, which was properly bitter if you're into that. The marikoriko was sweet and fruity, way easy to drink. The Saturn was also wonderfully fruity and easy to drink. I didn't bother with the mai tai because they use kraken instead of an actual funky Caribbean rum, which is wild because they carry Meyers. Probably my biggest critique is to funkify that Mai Tai yo! Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot!

This was our third time at Happy Accidents and, to my surprise, I had not reviewed this place…read more This bar is definitely big and screams artsyxotic with its grassy ceiling, hanging monkeys, and mannequin wall. The drink crafters are definitely talented and very attentive, ready to make recommendations. This last time we ordered the espresso matini, the citrus, the bubble gum cosmo, and the pornstar martini. The espresso martini was absolutely smooth with a lot of coffee flavor. The citrus was definitely citrus and refreshing. The pot star martini was very funny and fun to drink, wirh a lot of tropical flavors, but it was not as fun as the glittery cosmo. As a snack, the birria fries were a good compliment, quite delicious with enough birria. Overall, it is no surprise that Happy Accidents is one of the best bars known the US. Creativity and flavor abound on Route 66 for sure.

Our server was quite honest with her recommendations and fast with her service. We chose a little get together for a colleague holiday celebration. So food and drinks needed to happen. For food we got the disco fries, which did not succumb to the wet ingredients and remained crunchy on the outside. The grilled chichitos had a few spicy exemplars but the rest were tolerable, with a lime aioli that made them pop. The chips and green chile queso were decent. The carne adobada was tender and easy to shred with good flavor. The Korean chicken and waffles were mine. They looked special and exciting. The gochujang maple sauce was interesting but it lacked sweetness and spicy. It was a very tame flavor. The chicken was very crispy on the outside but not too moist on the inside, making that cut into the chicken pieces quite tricky. The waffle was ok. Our drinks, however, were stellar heroes for the night. The hot cocoa with rum was warm, sweet, delicious, and full of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon powder. It was a very rummy and wintery drink. The desperado was quite summery, for a big contrast from the hot cocoa. It was crisp, fresh, and a bit sour like a good tepache. And last but not least, the meat & potato man was a powerful and surprising drink, as it was small but full of different flavors that worked together like magic. Overall, I'd recommend the drinks, ambiance, and service at this place. The food, needs more work to match the flavors and quality of their drinks.
