Ordered the mush-o-roni which is a traditional mushroom and pepperoni detroit style pizza. The crust ... SO GOO. the sauce - nice and tomato-y, though I could have used double the amount that was on it, the toppings - fresh and generous and the cheese- just as it should be.... ooey and gooey. The online ordering website could be better ... i wanted 4 slices only, but it looks like you have to pick either 6 or 8, it wasn't intuitive to find extra sauce (marinara or ranch) so they could be leaving money on the table and some sad customers. It could be just me as other reviews are saying online ordering is amazing. Would definitely order again and interested in trying the Hawaiian.

This is going to be all about the food because that's what matters most…read more I came in on a slow evening and ordered the Ellen ( I think that's what it was called). It had bacon or what looked like pancetta, sun dried tomatoes, pepperoni, and a creamy tomato sauce. When the thing came out it, it was absolutely gorgeous. You can see everything was caramelized and cooked to perfection. Before even touching it, you knew every bite was going to be wonderfully crunchy. Every facet was gilded in CRISPY. From the pepperoni rounds to the square edges, and the various pieces of pork. I can see why this place is so lauded. The execution is flawless when it comes to presentation and quality. Although the pizza I picked was a sodium bomb (didn't realize it until it came out), I still very much enjoyed it. I couldn't eat more than two slices since the saltiness became overwhelming. But maybe you're not supposed to anyway? Next time, I'll be sure to choose a more mild style of pizza. This spot definitely deserves further visits. For $30, it is on the pricier side. You're only getting enough pizza to feed two people--and even that is a stretch. I would really recommend a starter as well for date night. This might be out of reach for most working class families; but if you're looking for a treat, I still think it's worth every buck despite my bad choice in pizza. I'm giving this a 4-star since I felt the pizza could have used more sauce. It was way too light, and you need that acid to balance out the heavy sodium and richness of all the pork ingredients. If my second visit can eclipse this experience positively, I'll adjust it to 5-stars

A racist, I think not, I have never been called that in my life. I treated these people with dignity and respect. In our conversation I told her that I was stationed in her home country in the 1960's protecting their northern border. She asked me questions and I answered them honestly. She did not like some of the answers. There is an old saying "Don 't ask a question that you don't want to here the answer to. It was almost as if she wanted to be offended by the answers. Maybe she likes being a victim. Both of these people were treated with respect and friendship. They enjoyed the drinks that we bought for them and seemed to enjoy themselves.The pan face comment. That is what the GI's called the Koreans in the 1960's. The prostitute comment, That is the only type of female that the GI's had contact with in the 1960's, they were in every bar and nightclub in Korea. Maybe these people like to feel picked on so they can express their views on being minorities, I don't know. I can say one thing, they enjoyed their visit here and told us so at the time. read more

I decided, for the World Cup final, to haul ass to Almaden and watch it here. I arrived roughly an hour or so before the match was scheduled to begin and seated myself at the bar. The staff were nice and attentive, and prices are just okay for standard pub fare in my opinion. I kept it simple by deciding to get just a club soda and a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The total for both (without tip) was $19.70. Not the cheapest, but I've seen more expensive pub fare elsewhere. The club soda was as good as any, but the grilled cheese sandwich was a bit disappointing. It was small and lukewarm, and the accompanying fries were bland as well. For now, I give them a solid three stars. If I come back and the food is better next time around, I'll post a new and higher-ranked review. 3 stars

With the current pricing at Cedar Room, I'm now walking out spending close to $100, compared to the $40-$50 I would normally spend before. I really like Cedar Room and have enjoyed coming here regularly, which is why it's disappointing to see the happy hour change this way.

I was thinking a light salad; he was thinking beer and pizza. Since they don't do wine by the glass, I ended up with a $17 mini bottle. It was okay, but $17 for a single-serve is a stretch, not exactly a wine lover's paradise. The food was a mixed bag. The pizza was definitely the star; you can tell it's made with love and not some big-box chain stuff. The salad was fresh, but the chicken was pretty bland.

Johns have outdoor patio seating as well as a large indoor seating area and bar seating. The place was really hopping on a Saturday evening around 5, especially from the Wine Walk overflow. The servers seemed rushed but we were seated almost immediately. My friend ordered Kettle One on the rocks, I got a glass of house chardonnay and we also ordered the parry melt. The pours were more than generous, we thought the Kettle One was water at first since the glass was so full. And, my pour for the chardonnay was a full glass! We are not complaining but that seems to be the way the owner pours. The patty melt came with a large order of fries and the sandwich itself was gooey and perfect.

I think if you were expecting one of those giant fluffy omelettes, you would be very disappointed by this. It was pretty average. Our server did seem pretty busy, took awhile to get our food and check. I also think that the $7 charge for a side of bacon seems a bit pricey to me.
