I had no idea what to expect and I don't have any other posts with which to compare. It's a large venue with a few different spaces. In one of the private areas, there was some sort of event going on. Loud with dancing. Seemed like a happy bunch. We hung out in the main bar area and I had a couple of beers. Definitely cheap and definitely cold. My friends enjoyed a simple vodka and soda, reporting it as a pretty strong pour. We were probably the youngest ones in here by a bit. Not a worry as at least two or three people stopped by to check on us and ensure we were having fun. I don't know enough about the military to hold a conversation. Still, interesting.

Went to a 2 year old birthday party here at the beginning of the year. We loved it!…read more Fast forward, I decided to have my 2 year olds birthday party here too! It was such a great decision. I couldn't have been more happy!!! To book, I emailed the owner and placed a $125 deposit and then $125 was due upon arrival. This was for a 2 hour reservation. In my opinion, this is very reasonable, competitive with other venues, and WELL worth it :) Upon arrival, the owner was so pleasant! She showed us around and let us know that if we needed anything, to just ask. For example, extra plates, napkins, or serving tools. She explained the time would be sectioned in two categories. The first hour would be for the kids to play and be led in play. Then, the next hour, would be for food and opening presents. Everyone had such a good time watching their little ones play! She had so many things for the kids to do. *Beware, the outside is not the most presentable. However, upon walking in, it is very clean, well decorated, organized, and everything else good!! They offer other services, which I am definitely interested in. So, I'll have to follow them on social media, because I definitely want to go back :)

We've had such a great experience with the Bounce n Boogie class! From day one, the teachers were…read moreso kind and welcoming -- they made me feel completely comfortable leaving my son in their care, which, as a parent, means everything. The space is clean, bright, and super inviting, and it's clear that the staff really cares about creating a safe, fun environment for the kids. Not only did my son have so much fun every time, but he also learned a lot -- from following directions to social skills, movement, and coordination. It's the perfect mix of play and early learning. Watching him come home happy and full of energy (and ready for a nap!) is the best part. I can't recommend this class enough for anyone looking for a positive, engaging activity for their little one. We're so grateful for the Bounce n Boogie team!

The El Vado plaza chowdown paseo just keeps delivering on the flavor front…read more Today's hit was a stagger to the left one door upon exiting Heavenly Taste Cakery and landing in the premises of Street Food Sensations, which is right next door to the sweetery shop. Seems this Sensational eatery used to be a bus but lost it's wheels and is now permanently parked in the #2 spot just off Central Ave on the sunny El Vado open air patio/plaza. Bein' a fool for a Cubano sandwich, I succumbed to the moral obligation to order these friendly folks' Spicy Cubano version with parmesan & truffle chips on the side. When I got home & opened the to-go box I was duly impressed at the generous size of the sandwich. The handful of homemade lookin' chips was adequate at filling its corner of the container. From the first bite, the spicy aspect was not inside the sandwich. While well flavored, the Scoville scale on that sammie was on the low end of heat, particularly for the Burqueño crowd. However, the large'ish pepperoncini spiked to the top of the sandwich was the nuclear blast bringin' a little scorched earth policy to the party. We're talking nasal clearing, eye watering, tongue shrivelling, throat chokin' thermal overload. It was so good!! The flat bread on the sammie was chewy & sturdy enough to corral the layers of beef, ham, cheese, and pickles without degradation or deteriorating. The red chile mayo was super sparse, to the point of almost non-existent, and left me wanting for more to jack up the heat a bit. The beef was okay to good, being subtly spiced which let the umami taste shine through. Ham was of the water added variety so offered decent texture & moistness to the filling. But the smoke note in the mix was a soft one, not intense with the acrid attack often found in dry cure hams. Pickles were okay to good. Cheese was likewise okay to good, though not as spicy as I would hope for from a pepper jack cheese. The parmesan & truffle fries were of the sturdy sort. The good news being that they were surprisingly non-greasy in spite of being mottled in a pinto pony pattern of oil saturated patches across their surfaces. My fingers remained delightfully free of napkin dabbing while devouring the chips. The bad news being that they tasted like pretty much standard home made potato chips found everywhere. I didn't pick up the parmesan funkiness or pungency on them at all. So the chips were sort of a 3 star affair & just okay being crunchy, fried, salty enough without overdoing it, and not greasy. With the Cubano & chips being about a 3.5 star situation, it's the friendly cashier lady & cook who make Street Food Sensations a solid 4 star affair. I found them to be friendly and welcoming and fun. So kudos to the staff for being a bright addition to the sunny atmosphere of the El Vado eating scene.

I hired Binky for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I was actually pretty nervous about it since…read moremy interaction with Binky had been a bit unprofessional in the weeks leading up to the party. I initially sent her a message through her website and after a week of her not responding, I sent her an email through her email address. Still no response, so I called. She didn't give a great explanation for why she didn't write back, but I booked the party anyway. A few weeks later I sent her another email confirming the details, and again she didn't write back for days, so I called. She claimed she just got the email that morning (but didn't write back for some reason). We updated the party details on the phone, and the last time I wanted to change something, I just called again. Though she was responsive by phone, she never once emailed back. I would have appreciated some confirmation in writing. So I was nervous that she wouldn't even show up on the day of the party. But she did and she was wonderful! I had her do magic and balloon animals (no face painting) for 9 kids. All the magic tricks but one were a hit, the kids were engaged the whole time and she did a fabulous job of trying to call up as many different kids as she could to help with tricks, while giving special attention to the birthday girl. Her character was perfectly silly. The balloon animals/objects were also wonderful and each child got his/her own customized piece. She also left us with coloring pages and a small baggie of trinkets and a small piece of candy for each kid. The biggest disappointment was that she cut it short by 15 min! I paid full price for an hour of entertainment (no discount for having one less kid-9 instead of 10) and she didn't fill the time. I'm not sure if she just didn't budget her time well, or if there was another reason it was short, but that was definitely not cool. She could have done more magic or made each kid another balloon piece. If I do a clown again for another party, I'll probably hire someone else. Otherwise, I will definitely talk to her in advance about filling the time better.
