Had occasion to partake of the Sandbar several times during my 3 night stay and was very pleased with the food and service. For food I had originally ordered the crab cakes and was surprised when they arrived "cajun style" which was not noted on the menu. I spoke to the manager, Matt, who told me they had just changed the menu but hadn't gotten new ones yet. He gladly removed it from my bill. The smash burger was great as was the Sunday brunch breakfast bowl. The staff, Grace, hostess extraordinaire, was great. Helpful and personable. Bartenders Vinny and Jesus were great, good conversation and drinks. Others working when I was there, Russell and Valeriya, and the manager Matt, all seeming to hustle and keeping the place running and I saw no complaints from other customers while there. Pretty well run shop and I have been in a few similar places in my time.

The highlight of the night was seeing Santa blissfully watching the football game and completely unaware of the party happening around him. For the most part, we had a great time. Unfortunately, the only downside was our bartender, Tobin. From the start, he came across as rude and unwelcoming. We waited at the front bar for a while, even though there weren't many people ordering. He clearly saw us but ignored us--no acknowledgment, no "I'll be right with you." When my friend finally ordered drinks, Tobin didn't say hello or smile, just pointed with an expression that made it seem like he didn't want to be there at all. The attitude was disappointing. We didn't let it ruin our night, but someone with that demeanor really shouldn't be working in the service industry. Ambiance 4/5 Service 1/5

Whether you're looking to chill with a drink or get into a more upbeat scene, Surfers gives you options.

Since it was a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet in the area and we had a private class with Chris. Chris was very thorough, starting with candle and fire safety. He took his time showing my daughter the process, from pouring, mixing, balancing the smells and everything in between. He knew a lot about scents and what goes well together. The shop itself was really nice and tidy. Bonus points on the "secret" room that had some gaming stuff like pool table, mini arcade area and some board games. I say secret because the connecting door is hidden as one of the shelves. He let us take our time in the room that is actually an adjoining room to his shop that has its own entrance/exit door. We could have also bought food from next door and the shop offers drinks. They have different events every month.

This post doesn't even deserve a one star. I went out with my gf for a beer after work, while I was in the bathroom the bartender held my beer(which was opened). After 30 minutes of sipping my beer, I started to lose motor function of my body. (Face, mouth, arms & legs go numb). A state of confusion came over my body & my speech was slurred. I only drank 1/4 of my beer. I stumbled out of the bar with my friend and drove home. DO NOT GO HERE! read more
